Hello, Are you certain that's not the DDR (dual data rate) number that you multiply by 2? -Art
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s 6000 megatransfers, not actually megahertz. It used to be acceptable to use MHz when describing the speed of RAM in the days of SDRAM, because the MHz to megatransfers was 1:1. However, with DDR RAM the megatransfers are happening twice per cycle, so the rate is double the MHz. It’s irresponsible for Best Buy to label it as 6000 MHz, because although it’s a common misconception, they should know better. 3000 MHz seems exactly right for a 6000 megatransfers stick. Hope that helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It may be your motherboard. Cheap boards are limited. Try updating your bios
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your mobo is capable of doing 6,000MT/s then you can overclock it otherwise you have to adjust voltage increments but be very careful as that coukd damage your dram
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you're checking your ram speed through the desktop you have to remember that ram speeds are halved. So if you're seeing 2999mhz or 3000mhz. Mine shows the same thing in CPU-ID. If you're seeing this in Task manager, try updating your motherboard and setting the profile again.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can change the speed from your PC's BIOS
