Recommendation for ram upgrade to Victus 16 e-0085ns

[lamper1]

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading from 8GB to 32GB.
My current memory is the default 2 Kingston 4GB modules at 3200 and a latency of 16.
The problem is that the operating frequency is lowered to 1600Mhz I tried it with other memories that I had at home but 2400Mhz and the same thing happened, the frequency was lowered by 50% and is muchisimo. The idea is if you could put a memory that works at a higher frequency for example I would not mind putting a 2400 ram as long as it works at 2400 each module.
Is there any memory that doesn't lower the frequency by half or does it happen with all of them? if there is, which one is it? if it doesn't exist, what do you recommend?

Translated with Translation sorry if you find any errors.

Hi:

The advertised memory frequency of 3200 MHz for example is the frequency when the memory is running in dual channel mode (2 x 4 GB).

The speed will always be reported as half--1600 MHz in the case of 3200.

So, in dual channel mode you multiply the frequency by two 1600 x 2 = 3200.

When one memory chip is installed, the frequency is actually only 1600 MHz, not 3200 MHz because the memory is running in single channel mode 1600 x 1 = 1600.

I see, so there is no way that in dual chanel you can run the modules at a higher frequency when they are in dual chanel? For example that they run at 2400 Mhz each module and that in total make 4800 for example.

No, there isn't.

As I first replied, the advertised frequency of the DDR memory chip is the Dual Data Rate (DDR), which means that a 2400 MHz memory chip is really only 1200 MHz when only one memory chip is installed in a memory slot.

If there are two, then the memory runs at 2400 MHz, but no report will indicate that.

The report will still indicate 1200 MHz, but the memory will also be reported running in dual channel mode with 2 x 4 GB, which is when you multiply the 1200 x 2 = 2400.

Hi @lamper1 

You are probably using a program like CPU-Z or another that shows the MT/s of memory channels in Mhz, Modern DRAM modules support dual data rate transfers (DDR), which means that, although they operate at a given clock speed, they transfer data during the  rise and fall  of a CPU clock cycle this added together gives the true speed of the memory, which allows twice as much data to be transferred as its native speed or frequency would suggest.

The double channel in my humble opinion only doubles the data transfer rate of the memory BUS, normally goes from 64 bits to 128 bits. But it does not affect the frequency since those are input and output channels and each channel has a frequency rate which in windows when added together shows the total frequency of the memory.
