I wanted to increase the frequency of RAM though BIOS InsydeH20 F.29 Rev 5.0, which did not have such a function, I found out that here are two dies, one for 8 GB (2666 MHz) and the second 4 GB (2666 MHz), but according to tests both work at a frequency of 1333 MHz. In trying to change to 2666 MHz I came to a dead end. What to do? In many games, packet loss in due to the low frequency of RAM and factory memory. The drivers are all updated.

Hi:
When memory is installed in mismatched capacities, the memory runs in single channel mode which would be half of the 2666 MHz speed.
So, the memory is running at the correct speed.
In order for the memory to run in dual channel mode (2666 MHz), it has to be installed in matching capacities (2 x 4 GB, 2 x 8 GB...).
Any reports you run will still show the memory running at 1333 MHz, but the report will also indicate that the memory is running in dual channel mode which is calculated by multiplying the 1333 MHz by 2 = 2666 MHz.
Right now, if you run a performance report, it will indicate the memory is running in single channel mode.
I use the free utility that I zipped up and attached below to provide that information.
