Hi,

I have 8x4GB ram.

CPU-Z tells me this: DRAM Freq: 933.2mHz ( 933.2x2=1866,4) am i right?

3D Mark 11 tells me:

Module 1-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 2-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 3-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 4-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 5-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 6-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 7-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 8-4 096 MB Corsair DDR3 @ 667 MHz

BIOS: EZ mode tells me 1333mHz
Advanced Mode is my settings right: XMP mode - 1866mHz

What should i trust? EZ mode in BIOS will not changes what so ever, but on Advanced will.
CPU-Z shows right.

My question then is, what is right and what is not? And how can I find the real speed?

3D Mark tends to show the basic boot freq from the SPD which sounds right at 1333, EZ mode is prob reading the same, CPU-Z appears to be showing what the sticks are running at with the true freq of 933.2 (which as you show, since it's DDR (DOUBLE data rate then 933.2 x 2 = 1866.4)

Notmal 3D Mark also show the same speed.

So, my ram sticks are running at the right speed? I have another post: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2185940/problem-bsod-0xc0000185.html

Could this be related to what I am talking about in the BIOS? I have tested the hell out of the CPU, RAM, PSU and GPU.. Also my Optical drive is installing and taking CD as it should. Whats left is Motherboard.

Should i Return it?
