maximum supported memory clock is half value

[A_Partyhat]

Hello. I am just curious as to why the "maximum supported memory clock" and memory speed is rated at half of the allowed 2666 that my i5 8500 is supportive of. I do have two 4gb sticks of 2666mhz each, of which I'm trying to get one to work, but that's unrelated. Just wondering if this metric/value is accurate and I'm mistaking something. Thank you.

Also curious as to why the "supported video modes" only state 60hz when my monitor is 165hz. I know it says so on the vertical frequency, just wondering why it doesn't on the former. Thank you.

HWiNFO reports the memory command clock which is half of the data rate for DDR.
