Hi,
I'm running a Z270-K with latest 1207 BIOS.
Recently replaced 2x8GB Kingston Hyper-X 2400MHz DIMMs with a 32GB (2x16GB) TeamGroup 3000MHz kit - pn TLGD432G3000HC16CDC01. Installed in slots 2 and 4 without any issues, PC POSTS OK.
Am having an odd issue where memory is being reported as 2400MHz instead of 3000MHz, although XMP profile has set at 3000MHz:
"DRAM STATUS" screen in BIOS shows 2x 16GB DIMMs - "Team Group Inc. 16384MB 2400MHz"
"MEMORY" shows frequency of 3000MHz, Voltage 1.450V, Capacity 32768MB
"XMP" shows DDR4-3000 16-18-18-38-1.35V
I installed CPU-Z to check, and it has a similar mix of values:
"SPD" reports each slot containing DDR-2400 (1200MHz), but XMP-2998 of 1499MHz
"Memory" reports DRAM frequency of 1500MHz, FSB 1:30, 18-18-36, 525 clocks, 2T command rate
Memtest86 has run default tests with no errors. It reports the memory as "PC4-23900 DDR4 XMP 2998MHz".
What's going on here? Is the memory working correctly at 3000MHz? Anything I should be worried about?
Is the 1.45V a concern? When I overwrite in the BIOS to 1.35V, it defaults back to 1.45V on next boot.
Thanks
G.W.
