Why does it show my RAM at 420 MHz

gonzominium · Feb 18, 2010

I know i have DDR2 800MHz that is OC'd at 840 MHz, and as i looked using both CPU-Z and AMD Overdrive it shows it running at 420MHz BTW it says DDR2 800 at POST

i dont get your point.. your post will proberly just be reading the spd on the ram. If cpuz clocks it at 420 then thats what it running at.

That is alright CPU-z , 420x2=840 mhz

420x2 = 840

lay off the chornic lol 420

Your PC is stoned.

obviously I know 420x2= 840, but i guess what i'm looking at is why is it running at 1/2

its DDR ram meaning it transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal so it will show 420mhz

That makes sense, never thought of that, thanks

You mean that CPU-z shows your ram at 210 under memory tab?
I doubt it...

As i say before if CPU-z show 420 then your ram are running at 840 mhz
