I know this topic has been covered in other threads but none answered my question..

i have an MSI g45 z97 mobo with corsair dominator 2133 memory
motherboard link here
RAM link here

in my bios when i select it to run at 2133 (or close) it accepts in and will post but when i see my speeds using aida64 cpuid it shows 1333

iv also tried setting it to 1600 speeds and that changed it from 1333 to 1066

do you have to change volts to get rated memory?

just went into BIOS and it was disabled before, i now have it enabled at 2133. Still showing as 1066 in windows though.


Jack,
i see the logic with Double data rate but it should still show how fast the memory is correct? i would assume if that was the case showing at 1333 before means i have 2666mhz memory which i do not have

i guess the software i was using displays it differently, i downloaded cpuz and dram frequency now shows 1066
