I've got GSkill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200-CL16-18-18-38 or F4-3200C16D-32GVK or something.. runs at 1.35v I believe... Anyway, in Windows Task Manager performance it says it's only running at 2133 MHz.
I know I saw it here a month or so ago (I even got a message in my inbox or something from someone representing GSkill telling me what to do), but apparently this ram ships 'governed' for "compatibility sake" to run in as many mobos as possible. I stumbled across this all when I tried overclocking for the first time ever (successfully got my CPU from 4.2 to 4.9, so that's good enough for me)... but I was HOPING to get my ram going faster. NOW though, who cares I just want it to run as advertised....
I wonder how much this throttling has impacted performance?
I also wonder why GSkill never though to include a giant sticker on the box with a pamphlet inside saying, "YOU'VE GOT TO CHANGE BIOS SETTINGS FOR THIS TO ACTUALLY GET YOU WHAT YOU PAID FOR!!!"
Odd.
I think I recall reading that you have to change a bios setting to... well I don't remember now. Can anyone help me out? And can I change the setting whilst not affecting my CPU OC profile? That works fine (I'd love to know what frequencies to change to for these ram sticks... At this point though I'm fine with the 'default' but I think I recall reading this ram could safely run at 3600 MHz... but I haven't looked into this for a while now so I forget).
Thanks for any help even just pointing me to the sticky or thread I've missed.
