Why is my RAM showing a lower clock speed?

Asked By TechSavvy42 On

Hey everyone! I recently built a PC with two Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 4800MHz 32GB RAM sticks. After checking Speccy today, I noticed it shows my RAM as 64.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 2398MHz (38-38-38-76). I'm concerned because the clock speed seems way off, and I'm not sure if there's an issue or how to fix it. Any insights would be appreciated!

Just a heads up, DDR means Double Data Rate. So if it shows 2398MHz, that's actually 4796 MT/s when you double that, which is pretty much the 4800MHz it’s rated for.

Thanks, that’s really helpful!

Check your Task Manager to see what the RAM speed is displaying there. Sometimes it shows different numbers than what's in Speccy.

Ahh yes, thank you! I see it now!

It seems like it’s running fine at 2400MHz which doubles up to 4800 MT/s. Windows might just not label it correctly, but you can check under Performance > Memory for the right speed.
