IVY Bridge-E and 4 DIMM 1866 Ram Question

[Anynamewilldo]

I have a Rampage IV Extreme and just recently upgraded to a Ivy Bridge E (from Sandy Bridge E.)

I know IVY-E supports 1866 RAM, but from what I am reading it's with 2 DIMMS (I have 4 installed). I have it set to 1866 and CPU-Z reports 933mhz so it appears its running all 4 DIMMS correctly.

Is this actually true or is it just reported that way? Why say it only supports 1866 with 2 DIMMS if it works with 4?


Thanks

Hi Anynamewilldo

Welcome to the ROG forum.

The Rampage IV Extreme supports up to 64GB 2400MHz ram.

I imagine you're running 4x8GB = 32GB 1866MHz, this is well within the specifications.

DDR = Double Data Rate. Double 933MHz and you have 1866MHz.

All looks good here.
