RAM Frequency lower than it should be

[festuc]

Hi,

My build currently uses 2x16GB Team Group Delta RGB DDR4 3200 PC4-25600 (https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/delta-rgb-ddr4)

As per the specs, I would expect them to run at 3200 Mhz, but on the System Information I see them reported as 2400



I only get 1200 on Geekbench:


This is a fresh built using OC 0.6.2 and 10.15.7. Did I miss anything on the config? Are my assumptions correct - should I get 3200 Mhz?

And, does this has an impact performance-wise?

Thanks!

By default SPD settings of the modules are used, if you want to run them at 3200 MT/s (1600 MHz) you'd have to select the XMP Profile in the BIOS.

Brilliant, thanks @Aluveitie!

btw, best verify with something like HWInfo under Windows that the Infinity Fabric is also at 1600 MHz, for some reason my BIOS chooses on Auto a lower clock which would lead to higher latency than necessary.
