Memory speed - wrong memory???
Hi. I am hoping you can help with an issue I am having with memory in my sons PC. It does not seem to be running as good since I installed 16gig of memory.
Motherboard - ASUSTeK Computer INC. M5A78L-M/USB3
Processor - AMD FX-4100 @ 3.60 GHz
It had 1 4gig stick of Kingston KVR1333D3N9 but I have upgraded to 16gig 4x4gig of Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz DDR3 Blue CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B.
OK. When I was looking into this upgrade I read somewhere that if you have an AMD FX processor then this board will manage the 1866Mhz modules.
When I run tests I get a third of that speed. (If I am reading it right)
Geekbench 2 - Memory -Memory Performance 3595
Stream -Memory Bandwidth Performance 3727
CPU-Z - DRAM Frequency 669.7Mhz (IS THIS WHAT SHOULD BE READING 1866Mhz??)
NB Frequency 2009.1
Is this the wrong memory fr this board? There are no drivers for memory are there?!?
Thanks in advance.
