    I have an Alienware 15 (Early 2015) R1 with an i7 4710HQ.

    CPU-Z shows the 1866MHz 16 GB memory running at clock speeds of 10-10-10-24 (933.3 MHz per module).

    But in the BIOS is display "0" under memory clock speed (where it should read 1866MHz).

    Any ideas of why this may be?

    Do I need to downgrade to 16 GB 1600MHz memory?
