So, I am having troubles confirming that my ram is running at 2133. It's rated for 2400, but I cant achieve that too easily. My DRAM frequency CPUZ shows is 1066, now do you multiply this by two if it's dual channel to get 2133? My ram type is this : http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-2400c11q-32gsr. Any responses are greatly appreciated, thank you. I can post screenshots if needed.

The value that you are seeing in Cpu Z of 1066 is correct Cpu Z is showing the clock frequency set for each memory mode.

Reading speed 1066 Mhz and writing operations at 1066 Mhz x 2 = 2133 Mhz overall for synchronous operation of the memory in other words reading and writing of data at the exact same time.

Before DDR enabled memory was available to buy, memory could only perform a single reading of data from the memory chips, or writing of data per clock cycle of the memory.

Where as DDR enabled memory allows both a read and write operation to be performed at the exact same time per memory clock cycle.


So the maximum a 2400Mhz rated stick can do for read operations reported by cpu Z will be 1200Mhz. then it is times by two...

So the maximum a 2400Mhz rated stick can do for read operations reported by cpu Z will be 1200Mhz. then it is times by two because the memory is synchronous as said because it can do each of the memory operations tasks per clock cycle in respect to reading and writing within one clock cycle of memory.
