Difficult to say, you are running in single channel mode so I am not sure just how much that impacts performance. Assuming 100% scaling you should in theory be about 20GB/s with a single DDR4 2666 module but that is assuming a lot.

How do you have the RAM set up in your BIOS, XMP or manual settings?

Good catch, the cpu cache latency is also funky...the previous updated UEFI was really bad! It is still low,...why run single channel on a dual channel board? :(

Some people that's what their budget allow(s)(ed). I try not to make observations like that in a post for exactly that reason. None of my business, really.

i tested ram with various settings, but anyway no luck, but i didnt noticed the multiplier but isnt it a turbo boost?

what with l3 cache? looks normal to me, especially when a ram on a full speed

Yes, the different multi is caused by intel's turbo boost. Those numbers look fine now Thumbs Up

I see a lot of people concerned about having the latest BIOS, this isn't always best. In many cases the latest BIOS will not benefit you at all and in some, like yours, it will even hamper performance with a particular hardware config. This is most often due to compatibility updates (RAM, SSDs etc) while your particular RAM (in this case) worked fine on a previous BIOS it ends up not working correctly on the newest one due to changes made to support newer models etc.

is this some kind of a strange politics?, dont you think? i bought my components 7 days ago, and had a headache with the ram speed and etc, the main problem for me is that i cant OC my i5 6500 bcs bios ver. which allows me to do this is ver. 3.00
