G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB DDR3

[kai696]

I have a G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-16GAB that is currently showing the DRAM frequency at 1070.0 MHz, here is the current specs (attached); I cannot seem to get my RAM to 2133 but it never seems to want to reach that level. I'm new to overclocking and would just like to be able to get the shown specs for the RAM. The MOBO used is ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX AMD Motherboard and the CPU is AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W FD6300WMHKBOX Desktop Processor. I currently have the CPU set to 4.414.72 MHz OC, see attached for that specs as well. Thank you for any help.

That's how DDR works and the reason it's called that. DDR is double data rate meaning the RAM is sending 2 signals for every clock cycle. Your ram is at the right frequency of 1070 but it's sending data at a rate of 2133

Okay thank you so much, I thought that but I wasn't sure being completely new to this.

No worries we all have to learn sometime.
