Product: HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-cx0032nc
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I have my notebook HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-cx0032nc with 2x4GB DDR4 RAM 2667Mhz.

I upgraded ram to 2x8GB DDR4 2667Mhz...but the problem is that system set  minimum/downgrade frequency (it is 1333Mhz actually),and I cant change it to 2667Mhz anywhere. I tried BIOS but I could not find frequency setting. Any advice?

@P1ngMaster,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

As a matter of fact, the RAM speed of 1333 MHz you referenced is actually 2 x 1333 = 2666 MHz.  Remember that DDR stands for "Double Data Rate", therefore you need to double the RAM speed you see.

 

Think of it like 2 cars going 100 kph vs. 1 car at 100 kph.  Still running at 100kph, not 100kph, but carrying 8 people instead of 4.  The 2666 MHz is the so-called effective speed of your RAM.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
