I have 4 GB of Kingston Hyper-X 1333 DDR3 (KHX1333C7D3K2/4G) on a MSI P55-CD53 mobo and a Core-i5 cpu. The RAM seems to be a little sluggish so i looked at the MSI Control Center and its running at 667mhz. CPU-Z says the same thing. Why is the speed so slow and what can i do to run it at the 1333mhz i paid for? Oh and its 2x2 GB sticks Dual-Channel.
Thanks for the replies guys.
From what i understand the ram is fine cause it is dual channel therefore divided in 2.
667 x 2 = 1336.
Im a noob in system/hardware tweaking and dread anytime i have to enter the bios. I feel like every key stroke will ruin the pc. (Hence i call myself a noob
So thanks again for your input.
I also came across something else that im not sure what to make of.
CPU-Z gives the same timings (jedec #1 - #4)on dimm 1 and dimm 3, like it should be, i assume.
But Control Center tells me there is an xmp 1600 at 800mhz after the jedec #4. Thats on both dimms.
Kingston website says my ram doesnt even support xmp profiles!
And dimm 3 doesnt even have a jedec #4 which throws off the timings so dimm 1 and 3 are running different timings, apparently.
Matter of fact CPU-z and MSI are giving me different timings all together!
My question NOW is which do you presume is more reliable the MSI or CPU-Z?
