Hello Community!

For a while now my RAM has not been performing at the ordinary speed of 1600MHz but has been underclocked :(

This is because the ASUS UEFI BIOS has been getting the wrong frequency values, and they have been weird... numbers like 1439MHz or 23-something-something-MHz, but not 1600, or 800MHz.

What gives?

Thanks! :bounce:

It used to get the correct frequency just fine. And it has no option to enter in the speed manually, as far as I can tell.

Xtreme memory profile. It will force the motherboard to read the specs from the RAM module and set itself to match them. The memory will then run at its rated speed.

I can only choose the frequency out of a few options. It would appear that changing the AI Tuner setting to DOCP, will allow me to have 1600MHz has an option for RAM.

Of course, on the day I finally decide to make this thread, (I've been putting it off for a while now) it fixes itself without me doing anything. All of the funny numbers have gone from the memory frequency drop down menu, and it has returned to the default value of 1333MHz.
