1600 mhz DDR3 RAM shows as 533 mhz

[marble wigeon]

Hey everyone,

Im using an old system and my PSU and RAM (2x4) broke a week ago and I replaced them with 4x4 1600 mhz crucial RAM.

When I checked the task manager after I booted up the PC it shows 533 mhz. Is that how its supposed to be? Or should it be higher?

Im not knowledgeable enough to think this through but when I checked the BIOS it says on the main page that “Total Memory DDR3 1151MHz” and in another page there is a section titled “Memory Frequency”(added the attachment) and I think it can change it from here?

Thanks for help in advance.

what cpu?

[jovial wedge]

did you overclcok

[marble wigeon]

FX 8350

[marble wigeon]

Nope

[jovial wedge]

your bclk not 200

[jovial wedge]

and 533 is sounds right for that cpu out of box

[marble wigeon]

Oh okay then thanks

[jovial wedge]

send image of cpu-z

[jovial wedge]

ok just checked tthey fx 8350 shoud be able to do ddr3 1866

some reson i was thinking ddr3 1333 was max

[marble wigeon]

is there anything i should blur like? ( I just joined the server and the rules were pretty strict about that stuff haha)

[jovial wedge]

wdym?

[jovial wedge]

cpu-z just display cpu info

[jovial wedge]

and spd and memory

[jovial wedge]

you lied you overclocked cpu

[marble wigeon]

wait wha

[jovial wedge]

by about 8%

[marble wigeon]

that i didnt know

[jovial wedge]

see the bus speed thats menat to be at 200mhz and it afects ram

[jovial wedge]

bclk oc sucks since it messes will all things in pc cpu ram other random buses

[marble wigeon]

oh wow

thats actually surprising haha

[jovial wedge]

any way send image of spd of each stick/memory tab

i wonder if amd did any of the oh we only suport the speed we list under 1dpc or somthing and not list it clearly what it is with more

[jovial wedge]

533 not 577 that form the base clock

all the ram suports 1600 jedec good

[jovial wedge]

time to go to bios

[marble wigeon]

Im just gonna restore to default or is it gonna be more complicated?

[jovial wedge]

i hope its that easy

i have not messed with fx in so long

[marble wigeon]

dang..

[jovial wedge]

i just wonding how there was a 8.5% oc that you had no idea about

[marble wigeon]

I have this computer from my late brother and he was way more tech savvy so Im wondering if he did it

[jovial wedge]

that porably where

[marble wigeon]

yea

it could also be the other computer guys that fiddled with it over the course of 11 years haha

[jovial wedge]

overclcing can be a pain but can get fair more then next gen perfomance

[marble wigeon]

yeaa

[marble wigeon]

can I tag you at a later time then?

I wont be as available now

[jovial wedge]

some how my modest oc may my cpu faster then a 9900k in allcore workload

[marble wigeon]

oh wow
