    I wanted to know my ram specs to get another ram stick . So, I used task manager to know my ram specs which shows my ram speed to be 2667 mhz. on the contrary, command prompt shows it to be 3200 Mhz . i also tried using BIOS which shows it 2667 MHZ . what should i believe?

    RAM speed is different in CMD and Task manager, what to do?

    It is possible that the system is using XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) to run the RAM at a higher speed than the default speed. To check the speed of the RAM, you can use a few different methods:

    1. Check the BIOS: Enter the BIOS setup and check the RAM speed in the "Memory" or "Hardware" section.
    2. Use a system information utility: There are many utilities available that can display information about your hardware, including the RAM speed. One example is the free utility "Speccy" from Piriform.
    3. Use the Windows Task Manager: In the Task Manager, go to the "Performance" tab and look for the "Memory" section. The speed of the RAM should be displayed here.
    4. Use the Windows Command Prompt: Open the Command Prompt and type the command "wmic memorychip get speed". This will display the speed of each RAM module installed in the system.
    It is also possible that the Task Manager is displaying the wrong speed for the RAM. If the BIOS, system information utility, and Command Prompt all show the correct speed (3200 MHz) but the Task Manager is showing a different speed, it could be a bug or issue with the Task Manager.

    If you are still having trouble determining the correct speed of the RAM, it may be helpful to consult the documentation for your motherboard or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

    Why there is speed difference in Ram frequency between cmd and task manager?

    Why does my laptop shows different ram speed, for example with cmd command show that is 3200mhz but on task manager shows 2400mhz, i have Asus vivobook 15 m515da with ryzen 3 3250u. Thanks.

    RAM speed is different in CMD and Task manager, what to do?

    Hey,

    I recently upgraded my RAM to 32GB. The speed should be on 3200 MHz but somehow, my task manager is showing only 1600 MHz meanwhile cmd shows 3200...What is the right number? Also my mother-board is B450M PRO-M2 V2 (MS-7B84).
