Hello,
I just upgraded to Corsair Dominator GT 8GB DDR3-2133 CL9. 1.5V 9-11-10-27-2T
I went to BIOS, enabled X.M.P. Profile, and everything was automatically set to 2133 MHz, and 9-11-10-27-2T
It booted up perfectly fine, and I went to CPU-Z to check everything. Then I noticed at the Memory tab, that the DRAM Frequency said 1066.9 MHz instead of 2133 MHz. So I searched on Google "RAM running at half speed" and found that this is normal. Is that indeed normal? Because it's Dual Channel so it's 1066 MHz for each module, correct?
Ok, so then I went to the SPD tab. Selected slot #2, and it said at Max Bandwidth, it said: PC3-10700 (667 MHz). That doesn't seem normal to me! So my question is, which one is correct, the Memory tab or the SPD tab? Is my memory actually running at 2133 MHz?
My motherboard is Asus P8Z68-V PRO (B3) and CPU is i5 2500K @ 4.7 GHz 1.39V stable.
Thanks in advance,
Arjen
