RAM frequency

I have RAM DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM, but Task Manager shows that RAM Speed is only 1066MHz. Why?


My CPU is overclocked. Heres the details:

probably because you'll have to manually enter your ram's settings because your bios doesn't detect it right.

no biggy. it happens, pretty common issue.

Can you tell me please how?

There's conflicting results on those screens, can you put a screen up of the CPUz (free prog available online) memory, CPU, and spd tabs so we can determine for sure what speed you're running.

Thanks & welcome to OCF

You're ram is running at 1463mhz which is a fair overclock from stock 1333 and its still running at 9-9-9 timings which is pretty good. So you are actually overclocking you're ram a fair bit.

But why task manager shows that speed is 1066 MHz?

Not sure but the frequency on CPUz is the speed you're ram is running, maybe you're os is reading the actual devider setting that you're running you're memory from as I see you're bios says it only supports upto 1066mhz, maybe that's what windows is reading in error, but you're ram is running at the speed on the memory tab from CPUz and it also talllies up with the freq set in you're bios

Ok. Thank you for helping.

Memory Types: DDR3-800/1066
So this is the reason why task manager shows only 1066MHz.

Windows 8 is just reporting it incorrectly.
