Memory and Windows Experience Index

[beginnerbuild]

I have Gskill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 4Gb (2X2) memory on an Asus p8h67-m LE motherboard. When I used the Windows Experience Index tool, it gave my memory a rating of 5.9. I know that the index doesn't mean much, but I suspect maybe there is something wrong with my memory configuration. I know that this mobo only supports up to 1333 memory, but even at that the score should be higher than 5.9.

Help please?

That may be about right. My 6gb ddr3 @ 1600 scores a 7.8.

My 8GB DDR3 1333 8-8-8 on a P8P87 Pro gets me a 7.9. A 5.9 doesn't seem right to me....

Seems like it's more about amount of ram than speed of ram maybe?

4 GB ain't nuff brah. You want more point$ you gotta invests the doobie dollahs!

5.9 is max for dat size ram brah

Was anything using the RAM while you were doing the test, like antivirus / folding / integrated graphics? (I can't call it a benchmark ) Also, I assume this is Windows 7? Vista capped its numbers at 5.9, so if you upgraded from Vista to 7 there may have been some strange registry thing left over.
The other thing I can think of is that your CPU may have went into low power mode right as it was testing the memory, and the excuse for a benchmark picked that up.

Just get CPU-Z and verify the RAM is working at the proper speed in the "Memory" tab. If your RAM is working properly, don't bother. (OT: can you still hack the registry to change those values?) Test with something that means a little more, like Cinebench, 3DMark, Folding@Home frame times, etc etc...

From my experience, I'd have to agree. Anything 4GB = 5.9. Anything over 6GB should give you 7.8 or 7.9.

I'd have to agree, here's my 7.8 with 4Gb ram

What are the speeds and timings of the RAM with those scores?
