5600 mhz ddr5 ram reporting 4800 mhz?

[ʟǟֆȶʟɨʋɨռɢքօɛȶ]

I got some 5600 mhz ddr5 ram recently, kingston fury beast specifically, and when I open my control panel and click on performance / memory it's saying it's running at 4800 mhz.

Is this normal or do I need to adjust something in my BIOS?

typo?

Dual Channel (128 bit) DDR5-SDRAM

No. Ddr has always been that way since ddr1. Single channel being 1x64bit and dual being 2x64bit.

It never does 1x128bit.

Cpu being 64bit makes no difference.

1x vs 2x 64bit is a matter of bit transfers is all.

If the cpu being 64bit was a handicap, how do explain triple channel and quad channel motherboards. As those still just using a 64bit cpu.

1 stick of DDR5 is dual channel 2x32bit though and CPU-Z validator sees dual channel and assumes 128bit even though it's a single 2x32bit (64bit) stick.

Here's 2 sticks of DDR5, don't mind the capacity it's maxmem'd in msconfig

Why does that matter?
It's still 1x DDR5 = 64bit in the end. Which is not difference from DDR4 or "any" other DDR.
The only difference is the 2x32bit vs older DDR are all 1x64bit

Doesn't matter what "apps" say.

So when you use 2x DDR5 you still end up with 128bit

I do find this a little odd since CPU-Z is usually one of the first apps of this sort to stay up to date with such things. You sure you have the very latest version of CPU-Z?

Do I look like a pirate? Then why are you parroting me?

That's version 1.99, so no it's not quite the latest (there's two newer versions), though I don't know if that changes anything with Alder Lake.

I know on my PC (Zen 2) there's differences between 1.99 and 2.0 in this regard. In the channel field, rather than showing "dual" as it did in version 1.99 and prior, it shows "2 x 64-bit" for me now.

Not about to update CPU-Z on an offline Win XP x86 OS drive made for Alder Lake, this doesn't matter enough to lol. Maybe the OP will, he's running the same version.

Yes please try CPU-Z 2.01 and see if anything changes.

However, judging by the CPU-Z version history; 1.99 was the last time they did any sort of major update in the app code regarding DDR5 XMP.

Overall, in case you weren't aware of how DDR5 differs from all the previous DDR (in conjunction with Intel 12th Gen CPUs) this should help you better understand > https://www.overclock.net/threads/intel-12th-gen-always-using-two-memory-controllers-one-per-channel.1795195/

It's been said like 5 times over and over. Pretty sure the dude understand 😂

Oh, I wasn't necessarily suggesting that you should. I was just adding my own experience that 1.99 and 2.0 was a change for myself in how this value was reflected. I might be misremembering, but I think someone else showed an Alder Lake system on version 2.0 and it still shows the same for it anyway.
