Quick ram question

studerman1 · Jul 23, 2015

I have:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231689
Bios says its running at 2133
Speccy says it running at 1087 mhz
Is there a reason for this?

You are fine, as ram is working in doublel data rate 1087x2 = 2134. it should be like that. See - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2406204/cpu-ram-running-half-speed.html

studerman1 :

It's a common misunderstanding for new users.

1087 Mhz x 2 = 2174 Mhz
Your RAM is dual channel, so you have 2 RAM sticks.

Speccy, CPU-Z and many other programs show the true freq (here 1087) and it's DDR (DOUBLE data rate - so true freq x 2 = effective data rate (2174) or basically 2133 here, it has nothing to do with being in dual channel. This and other common DRAM questions I cover here:
