Confusion on my RAM speed?!

[lukestrothman]

Confusion, I have G.SKILL Trident X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2666 (PC3 21300) Desktop Memory Model F3-2666C12Q-32GTXD



And, stock speeds are 2666....

4x 8gb modules.

Why is it I cannot verify this anywhere on my system?

From AIDA64/Cpu-z/Benchmarks, I don't see anything about it!?

The XMP profile I believe is set correctly in my BIOS and my motherboard is on the compatibility list... Am I reading something wrong or is my RAM really running at 1333 right now?

Your ram is running 2400 right now. For 2666 you have to set it manually.

How do I know it's running at 2400?

Because it says so in your CPU-Z MEMORY TAB!! You take 1201.9mhz x 2 will give you your true speed!!

Its as Mr.Scott said, 100% correct!!

In your memory benchmark it says your memory bus is 1200x2=2400
In Cpu-Z memory tab it says the same DRAM Frequency 1200 X 2 = 2400

If you go back into your Bios under the SPD TAB and take time to look at your XMP PROFILE!! You will see all you timings to run your Ram @ 2666Mhz and you will need to set these numbers. In your Bios manually with your settings like 12-13-13-35 @ 2T!!
