I have Asus rampage iv extreme and i bought kingston 32 4*8 GB ram 2400 MHZ. The problem is in cpu-z the speed showing 666 mhz and i try to change from BIOS also and i changed it after i again checked in cpu-z its showing the same 666 mhz. I again went to BIOS inm extreme tweaking tab its 2400mhz but when i go to MAIN tab its showing there 1333mhz. i am not understanding why this happening i also enabled XMB but nothing change. Please guys help me.

More about : guys plz

Hi It's Dual Channel Ram and that is right. at 1333 Mhz, your ram is 2666 Mhz.

Are you looking in the Memory tab or the SPD tab?

I was assuming he was looking at the SPD and thus my comment.

Asking because the SPD tab is simply info - is not what you are running at - it's the timings and settings in the SPD - the memory tab will give true freq (if 2400 then it should be at 1200 as it's DDR (DOUBLE data rate) so 1200 x 2 = 2400 - if it's showing 1333 as freq in the memory tab then it is 2666 and prob mislabeled sticks in OPs favor

Yep. That's what I was thinking when I saw that 1333 mhz thast it was 2666 mhz ram.

Well, I'm thinking it may be at the mobo default of 1333 - if 2400 sticks would have to be set up manually to hit 2666

Sorry guys i mean in bios its showing 1333mhz and in cpu-z 666 and i have kingston hyper x beast 32 gb 2400 mhz, after changing into bios its not changing in the cpu-z its showing the same 666.

That MOBO has 8 DIMM Slots. I'm wondering if it is showing 8 Slots in CPU-Z. That board will support natively 1066,1333,1600,& 1866 Mhz without OCing/ You will have to OC to get 2133 & 2400 Mhz. At the very least, it should be at the highest supported native ( Without OC ) speed which is 1866 Mhzon that board, if you have 2400 Mhz installed. I put 2133 Mhz in here, but it initially read as 1600 Mhz, until I OC'd it to get it to it's rated speed. That is a socket 2011 X79 Motherboard. Sine the first gen i7's ( socket 1366; 9xx ) the memory controller has been integrated into the processor. It this a new build, or have you upgraded the memory? If You upgraded the memory, did what you have in there before read right?

Your mobo defaults it to the mobo default which is 1333 and why you are at 1333 - it's not going to automatically raise it from there, need to go into BIOS, enable XMP and select profile 1 - that should take you to 2400 if no joy then will need a CPU OC to get things to where it can run 2400 (if the CPU can - what's the actual CPU? The Rampage can handle 2400, so it will depend on the CPU

I'm stil surprised that there are some motherboards that have a default of 1333 mhz, but will run 1600mhz without an OC. When I checked, it looked as if that MOBO would support / run 1600Mhz without an OC.

Depends on the mobo default, and for 1600 it's often just set the freq, but you have to set it, some same at 1866 and even 2133 - on Intel mobos it's easiest to enable XMP and just see, with the newer CPUs having turbo-boost - the strong ones can often carry 2133 as TB often takes them to 3.9

I put 2133 in here ( ASUS Z87-Pro ), but had to OC to get the speed.

Thank all of you friends, i went to computer technician he changed something in bios then speed showing in bios 2400 mhz and in cpu-z also but not by selecting XMP or profile 1, he went to advanced settings and from there he did something and the speed increased for my memory.
