I recently purchased Core i5 7500 CPU + Gigabyte B150M-D3H motherboard + G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 2400 MHz RAM (XMP 2.0) @ 1.2v.
As I read online, it seems B150 chipset supports a maximum of DDR3 2133 MHz only while B250 Chipset support DDR4 2400 if CPU is Kaby Lake.
However, in BIOS I have an option to change RAM frequency to 2400 MHz via XMP 2.0 profile. So I set it to XMP 2.0 profile and now Speccy shows my RAM running at JEDEC 1200 MHz (2400 effective).
How do I verify that my RAM is indeed running at 2400 MHz? Or, even if I set RAM to XMP Profile, will it still effectively run at 2133 MHz?
I cannot change my motherboard at this time so how much performance I will be losing by not going with B250 chipset based motherboard and using DDR4 @ 2400 Mhz officially?
