How to make sure the memory is really running under 3000 MHz

The memory installed on my Prime Z270M-Plus motherboard is Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000 8GB x 4 = 32GB. I have followed the instructions here to enable the XMP in the BIOS. But after boot, how can I make sure my memory is really running under 3000 speed? I checked in AIDA64 Extreme (version 5.95.4500), it gives me this:

73665

Then I checked in CPU-z (version 1.82.1), it gives me this:

73668

From the above screenshots, it seems that the memory is still running under 2133. So, could you please tell me how I can check in any software whether it is 3000 or 2133, or I just haven't enabled the 3000 mode (so how to enable it?) Please let me know if you need more info. Thank you.

Hi hzhou3 🙂

Open the memory tab on CPUz...those tabs you are looking at just show the default spec for the kit...

This is the memory tab. Does it mean my memory is running at 3000?
73669

1499.7MHz X 2 = 2999.4 MHz so yes
