    Posted: 15 Dec 2015 at 2:29pm
So, I would like to update my RAM at sometime but wanna keep the same brand memory. Digital Storm says it is Certified memory at 2666MHz and it is Adata VPG RAM but it looks like Adata doesn't sell that RAM at the Freq. Also, when I run a bench with CPU-Z it shows that it is at 1333MHz and they don't seem to sell that either. I might be missing something or reading it wrong......so if anybody can give some insight that would be great. I hope that made sense what I said. Oops

The ram probably ships as 2133 and the 2666 is one of the XMP profiles within the ram that DS set it at for stability.   Not unusual.

CPU-z shows speed as half the actual advertised speed. That is normal. DDR as in DDR4 means double data rate and CPU-Z reads it at single rate. So half.

When matching ram the timings you see under Memory tab are what you try to match.   9-9-9-24 for example.
