What the fuck is going on? I just noticed that in the speccy here.

I have 16gb of ram now and it says 2400 mhz. What could be happening?

Its also possible that I am retarded and I am missing something.

Quad channel 4 gb shows as 1/4 of its mhz.

Now, this is why there is a stupid questions thread.

FUCK. I see... Thank you for answering anyway though. I appreciate it.

What do you think I should upgrade first on my computer anyway? the graphics card is a R9 280.

Is the processor decent? I am just wondering so I can keep my eye out on deals in the future.

You can clearly see he's running Dual-channel, retard. Quad channel only exists on Intel Extreme platforms.

Not that it matters. Double Data rate will report in speccy as half of it's true speed, as it should.

In this case 2400 MHz should be reporting as 1200 MHz.

Go into your BIOS and check XMP Profile.

I adjusted the XMP profile and this is what the speccy looks like now. Does my motherboard not really support 2400mhz ram? I only saw one XMP profile.

Why the fuck do you have so many hard drives?

>4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory *
>* Due to IntelĀ® chipset limitation, DDR3 1600 MHz and higher memory modules on XMP mode will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR3 1600 Mhz.

>>51531190

ah I see.. so what runs 2400 mhz?

>>51531239
the Asus Z97 line will but you may have to overclock it. do you really need 2400 mhz?
>>
>>51531239
AMD.
>>
>>51531334

not really I think. I am not really sure WHAT I need actually. 1600 mhz should be fine. I am not too anal about it.

What I do want to know however is.. What should I be saving the cash to upgrade on my machine? Isn't there a new set of GPU's coming out soon or in AMD's case.. is the 390x THE latest from them and will be for some time?
>>
>>51531349
>AMD

That means absolutely nothing.
How about saying something like 'the AMD 970m or 990FX chipsets will allow you to overclock your RAM provided you have the CPU to match to allow RAM overclocking'.

You unhelpful shitposting kike.

heh....stay mad, kid....sorry you SUCK so fucking hard you didn't even check if ur shit was compatible before buying...
>>
>>51530519
Let me get this straight. You built a PC and don't know how ram functions?

Did you by chance stream you building said PC on twitch.tv
>>
>>51531590
>>51531547

I'm not OP you fuckwit.

I'm just saying, be more helpful instead of just posting empty nonsense or do you have no knowledge to help in the first place?
>>
>>51531590
This.

Familia if I was honest, OP you are dumb seriously

shillfags shitposting with worthless spam to try and hide this.

>>51531555
you complain about locked multipliers then you imply that unlocked multipliers will only mean a 0-5% increase in performance. nice.
