Aurora R11, AWCC Ram2 question

Question

I just noticed last week that my Ram in AWCC is running @3390 MHz without the Ram2 enabled. For some reason awcc has been shutting the overclock profile for the Ram/Ram2 which is the only thing I have overclock enabled. So does this mean my xpm 2 is enabled in the bios if it’s running @ 3390mhz but not showing it enabled in AWCC?

Should I just leave like this ?

R11 - i9-10900KF - 3090 - 64gb xfury Ram 3400MHz

I don't trust AWCC for anything, and prefer BIOS settings. I would check with a third party utility like CPU-Z to see what the ram is running at. If it is running as per XMP profile selected in BIOS I would leave it at that. If not I would investigate further to figure out what is going on.

You could also open up the windows task manager, and it should show what speed your memory is running at. I would however trust CPU-Z readings over task manager readings.

Okay Thanks I will check I have CPU-Z also HWIN64 and will check this evening. If the bios is running xpm 2 enabled but not showing this in AWCC I would actually prefer this better because I don't think its necessary to overclock this machine and runs just fine @ 4.9 GHz when I fire up my DCS sim. I've noticed that these machines go crazy when you overclock the CPU at 5.0 and above.

Thank Vanadiel !

Hey Vanadiel, What does it mean if CPU-Z memory tab is like grayed out ... no info ?

Vanadiel · Answer

That's an old version of CPU-Z, try grabbing the new version 1.95.0 and see if the problem goes away.
