Hi all,
I have build myself my first PC. It was a personal project for myself but also to help with my ICT course. I am having an issue with my memory however. I have 8GB (2x4GB) of Corsair Vengeance RAM. These are DDR3 and have a 1600Mhz clock. My motherboard is the Gigabyte 970A-UD3P.
This is the ram that I have
I have also correctly placed the ram into the correct slots for dual channel and I can confirm this as when going into the BIOS for my motherboard it correctly shows the information for channel A.
The issue I am having is that in my BIOS the memory is only running at a clock speed of 1366 (ish). I think I know how to solve this as I can enable X.M.P which makes it run at 1600. However in Windows 8.1 when going into task manager and then performance it is only showing my memory as running at a speed of 667Mhz and also when using CPU-Z it fails to detect the memory as dual channel. DC Mode is blank.
Is this an easy fix or could it just be a bug in windows not displaying the correct speed??
Thank you in advanced for any help you provide.
Tom

. Ok, thanks for the information I understand what you mean. But what about the CPU-Z not recognising the memory being in dual channel? Does this matter that it doesn't pick it up, will the CPU still recognise it??
. Slight exaggeration
