Hi all,

i have got a new MB Asus Maximus Extreme and when i installed my rams 4GBX4 1866 Mhz they are running at 933 Mhz @XMP. while im clocking my cpu @4.6 Mhz and DRAM target is 1866 which is automatically configured by X.M.P profiler.


Also when i oc'ed my cpu it runs 1600 Mhz on idle but on workload it hits 4.6 Mhz.

when i had my old MB with sandy bridge i5 i was oc'ing at stable 3.9 Mhz whether idle or under workload without any failures. Also my RAMs were running at the right freq which is 1866 Mhz

I am amateur oc'er and i need some advice here :)

Thanks in advance

sorry for the delay reply!

When i select XMP i can select my RAM freq which is 1866 Mhz but CPU-Z is showing only 933 Mhz. Even with a full GeekBench load, my cpu is going 4.6 Mhz while my RAM is stuck in 933 =/

Not sure where is the mistake i am making here.

I will upload pix for my OC settings in BIO and maybe it would help you detect my mistake.

Thanks for following up with me :)
