What is the easiest way to check ram frequency ? i had both 1333 and 1600ram mixed up, so i took the 1333 one and just left the 1600, would like to check if the frequency is ok
sudo dmidecode
You may need to install dmidecode
if it isn’t installed already.
You can also get a subset of that info from sudo inxi -mxxx
but it is also using dmidecode so you get more info by running it directly.
is there a way to check if i have it installed already ?
Lots of ways.
You could just type dmidecode
and see if it is there.
You could also use pacman -Q dmidecode
┬─[ramon@ramon-m61pmes2p:~]─[11:14:34]
╰─>$ pacman -Q dmidecode 0 < 11:14:34
dmidecode 3.4-1
Its installed.
Run the command dalto posted
Ran it already, is it safe-ok to post the output here ?
Yes its safe. It doesn’t have personal info.

That is the rated speed I think?
well my mobo supports 1600mhz and the only ram module left is a 8gb 1600, so it could be bios settings ?
Yes; my bad I mis read the output.
sudo lshw -short -C memory
Whats the output of this ?
Install lshw
if not already there.

Your system seems to have the 1333Mhz stick if I’m right.
I had 3 sticks installed, 2x 4gb 1333 ram modules and 1x 8gb 1600, i read somewhere if you mix different ram modules the 1600 will downgrade to match the 1333, reason why i only left 1 out of 3
i’ll try to take my pc to a ti shop and see what they can do, it might require a bios update too not sure
