OMEN by HP 875-1000 Obelisk Desktop PC (5MU99AV)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Am not that technical so any assistance is highly appreciated.

I am wondering about my current RAM situation, my HP Omen 25L came with the following description:

-i9-9900k

-32GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM

So, I was reading about XMP and all of that, so when running HWiNFO I see this:

If I check the Task Manager I see this:

MauZ84_1-1665090253758.png

So am confused, seems my RAM max speed is 2666 MHz but one app is saying that it's running at 1333 MHz and the other is saying that it's running at 2666 MHz... Could somebody clarify the situation, I would like it to run at max speed but not sure if it already is.

Hi:

 

You multiply the clock speed of 1333 MHz by 2 to get the 2666 MHz.

 

2666 MHz is the dual channel speed and 1333 MHz is the single channel speed.

 

What you are seeing is absolutely normal and fine.
