Hyper X fury 1866 running at 1333 (no xmp option in bios)

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

Hi all,

I have just built my first gaming pc and noticed my hyper x fury 1866 memory running at 1333 in task manager.

I read online that xmp must be enabled in the bios. My Motherboard (msi pcmate z97) doesn't have this option at all. All I have been able to do is manually set the frequency, however this doesn't fix this issue.

Having read online I'm not sure this this ram actually supports xmp, but instead Uses PnP

Should I buy different ram? Will this make the xmp option appear?

Thanks

hyper x fury does not support xmp profiles.

this ram is auto overclocking. it is supposed to clock to 1866 without any setting changes.

but since you are having an issue, try manually setting it to 1866 in your bios. there should still be a non xmp option.

I cant find anything to do with xmp in the bios. The frequency option only states the number, no mention of xmp anywhere

N3rdR4ge · Jan 4, 2016

yea only change the frequency option. that should be fine.

perhaps my last post wasnt clear. there is NO option for xmp with fury ram. it does not support it.

Ok thanks for the help. Just to clarify, even though task manager is displaying it as 1333z it is actually running at 1866?
Ill.doible.check on cpu-z later. It should be reading 933 correct? Since this value is doubled?

Thanks again

task manager should say Speed:1866 try changing the standard frequency option on your mobo first.

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

I have already set the standard frequency to 1866 on the mobo but task manager still says 1333

N3rdR4ge · Jan 4, 2016

and what happens when you set the frequency to Auto or Default?

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

I think it was set to auto originally which is when it said 1333. Changing it from auto still says 1333 in task manager. I'm not.at the computer just now butill.clarify this soon

no problem. also, try setting your bios to factory defaults if that doesnt work.

Look in CPU-Z (free app) in the memory tab - if running 1866 it will show the true freq of 933 - task manager often shows the mobos default setting instead of what you are actually running

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

In cpu-z the memory stated is at 933. I configured the ram to 1333 in the bios and checked again, where cpu-z said It was 666.5. Task manager still says it's running at 1333 regardless of the setting.

So is my ram running correctly and task manager is just acting up?

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

P.s I'm running just the one 8gb stick

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

P.p.s

Does this ram overclock well? I.e beyond its 1866 rated speed?

Tradesman1 · Jan 4, 2016

Task manager shows the mobos default or the DRAMs SPD default

Jamiejay64 · Jan 4, 2016

Ok so I'm guess it is running at the the specified speed according to cpu-z?

If task manager is going on the default dram spd I'm surprised it isn't displaying 1866 since that it's the rams rated speed..

Tradesman1 · Jan 4, 2016

Itf you look in the SPD tab it will show all the available programmed settings, should be one for 667/1333
