The RAM may be 5600, but it's clocked at 5200. Here's an article piece that explains it: "Fun fact on memory backwards compatibility Did you know that within the same memory technology (DDR4/DDR5), higher speed memory can downclock when system specifications only support lower speed grades? For example: DDR5 5200MT/s memory can downclock if system specification only supports DDR5 4800MT/s. Similarly, DDR5 5600MT/s memory can downclock if system specification only supports DDR5 5200 or 4800MT/s." Hope that helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I also noticed that, I saw the specs of the laptop's motherboard and it seems that it only supports up to 5200MHz, so why 5600MHz? I'm thinking about upgrading the RAM to 16GB so I suppose I could buy a 5200mhz stick and it would work well together with the stick that came from the factory...
