First post here. I tried to look for a specific answer to my problem, but couldn't find any satisfactorily.
Bought a new PC not long ago with the following memory:
Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 32GB (4x KHX2400C11D3K4/8GX) 2400MHz CL11 (11-13-13)
connected onto the following motherboard (in case that is relevant):
MSI Z87-G55, Socket-1150 (ATX, Z87, DDR3, 2xPCIe-x16, SLI/CFX, VGA, DVI, HDMI, SB Cinema, Haswell)
Running Windows 8.1 in case that matters.
Needless to say, when buying a rather expensive primary memory, you expect it to be set-up in a way that it can be fully utilized.
This is why the following caused a bit of a concern to me:
When running CPU-Z I get the following stats on my memory:
MEMORY
Channel # Dual
NB Frequency: 800 MHz
DRAM Frequency: 666.6 MHz
FSBRAM 1:5
CL9
tRCD 9
tRP 9
tRAS 24
tRFC 174
CR 2T
SPD (regardless of slot):
Module Size: 8192 MBytes
Max Bandwidth: PC3-10700 (667MHz)
Manufacturer: Kingston
Part Number: KHX2400C11D3/8GX
SPD Ext: XMP 1.3
Timing Tables:
JEDEC #3/JEDEC #4/XMP-2400/XMP-2132 in that order in the underlying stats:
Frequency: 609/685/1200/1066
CAS Latency: 8/9/11/11
Ras to CAS: 8/9/14/13
RAS Precharge: 8/9/14/13
tRAS: 22/25/33/30
tRC: 30/34/54/48
Command Rate none/none/1T/1T
Voltage: 1.50V/1.50V/1.650V/1.600V
Now my question is:
Can someone please elaborate on why the Max Bandwidth says 667MHz and PC3-10700 when the specs for the memory in question, as far as I have understood, is 2400MHz and PC-19300?
I understand that DDR means double data rate and so on, but I cannot understand how the outputs CPU-Z gives me can confirm my memory is indeed set-up to be able to work 2400MHz.
Is it something wrong with the Mainboard not supporting that speed, is that speed something I have to manually adjust it to be able to run at or is the CPU-Z info misleading in this regard and I should not worry?
Thanks in advance for any help and congratulations to anyone that bothered reading the entire post
