Why can Z2 Tower G9 memory run below the speed printed on the DIMM?
Operating speed depends on the processor, DIMM population and rank. This QuickSpecs revision lists 4400 MT/s with one or two DIMMs, 4000 MT/s with three or four single-rank 8GB/16GB DIMMs, and 3600 MT/s with three or four dual-rank 32GB DIMMs. Check the complete population, not just the DIMM label.
