Hello all,
I have bought a mobo MSI Z97-G43 and a Hyper X Fury (white) RAM kit (2 sticks, x4GB each, 1866 Mhz), which is compatible with mentioned mobo (accordingly to their list).
After installing it, in the task manager it shows that the RAM is running at 1333Mhz. However, in the CPU-Z and MSI Command Center it shows, that the frequency is 1866.
I have been looking all over the internet, if it's related to the xmp profile and in almost all the cases, a solution was to enable it. In my case, there are no available options in the BIOS, which could allow me to enable it. Neither I have an option to change DRAM voltage (Advanced configuration mode is enabled).
Also, I have another RAM stick, which is HyperX black, with 1.6GHz and for this one an emp profile appears in the BIOS and in the windows it's frequency is displayed correctly.
So, the question is: what is going on? What is the real frequency my RAM is working at and why I don't see the options, that are supposed to be available in BIOS? Is it a mobo problem? Or is it a memory incompatibility?
P.S.: bios and all the drivers are updated, did it today at the morning. CPU: i5-4670k
P.P.S.: previously i had the kit of Hyper X Fury (black), which is identical to the white one, but I have managed to exchange it, saying it could be not compatible with my mobo, since it's not in the mobo's compatible rams list. But seems like it's not the RAM problem at all.
