SOLVED Verify memory frequency is right?

[prixone]

I was setting up my new DDR3 2.400MHz 32GB (4x 8GB) G.Skill TridentX - F3-2400C10Q-32GTX on my ASRock X79 Extreme4 and while setting it up on the BIOS, while I did set it to 2400 it remained 1333 at the information menu. I've left the CPU on AUTO.

The XMP had the memory already set in its profile with the proper latency and 2400, I thought it was fine and moved on with saving the BIOS and rebooting.

My question is, within my OS what would be the most accurate way to verify the frequency is right and its all OK or what would be the easiest and accurate way to verify that?

CPU-z would be the first choice for many. Link

AIDA64 Extreme also has a wealth of information to look over, but is limited to a 30 day trial unless you buy a license. Link

This is what I get with CPUZ which honestly I don't understand if it is right or wrong.

 

[Mr.Scott]

It is running correct.

Thanks for the reply

SO 666 x 4 = ~2600? That's what I need to look to confirm it was ok?

Or what exactly do I need to check the XMP?

 

[Mr.Scott]

In CPUz, DRAM frequency *2 = actual ram frequency

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Yep, you've got it correct

The Memory tab, 1199(1200) x2 =2400

The spd tab is the information the chips sends top the BIOS for compatibility.

Thanks a lot guys, now that makes more sense to me
