They also didn't mention the clock speed so probably put no consideration into that either.
Side note: Open up task manager and make sure the RAM clock speed matches the one advertised on the box. If not you may have to override in the BIOS. May cause crashing and if so just lower it a setting at a time until it's stable, it won't damage your computer.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I work in IT ๐.
I imagined as much, was meant to be a PSA since a surprising number of people who pay extra for high-speed RAM have no idea to even check if it's running full speed.
Yeah, to be honest, that is true. My colleagues don't check that either and cosider themselves experts ๐... that's OK, I just avoid conversations with them cuz they get lost when we do make converstaion... and then the conversation dies down anyway.
Don't just manually adjust the speed, use XMP/DOCP/whatever your board/CPU manufacturer calls it (unless you know what you're doing or are fine with crashes)
