Title: Gigabyte Z270-HD3P
Post by: yandao1983 on April 21, 2017, 12:12:02 am
Hi folks,

Recently DIY a desktop PC. I have enabled XMP to profile 1 in BIOs, and the memory frequency is showing the right 3200Mhz.

However, when I open Task Manager in Windows 10, under "Performance" tab, the memory speed is only displaying as 2133Mhz. Pardon me for my noob-ness, but how to configure further please? Is there any step missing?

Your kind advice will be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,
This is the base clock of your RAM.  Use App Center / SIV or CPU-Z if you want to see actual clock speed your memory is running at.

Ya.  On the laptop I'm on now...  RAM speed does not appear in my Task Manager > Performance Tab > Memory.  On my Z97 desktop its there and both are running build 1607 of W10x64.
