CPU: i7-7700 (non-K)
Mobo: MSI Tomahawk z270
RAM: 2x8 Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz


CMD "get speed" shows 2133/2133 as well

XMP is set to on, everything else is AUTO. I tried manually entering the timings etc but still ran at 2133... I have no Idea what to do.

Solution
Also, I suggest flashing the BIOS to the latest version. From what I can see, your system currently has the 1.0 version (original) of the BIOS installed. Some BIOS updates may help with memory compatibility.

Note I've not tried this, but I know older intel.locked chips weren't capable of pushing memory as fast as their k series counterparts. It's possible it just can push the ram that far, start with 2666 and step up to 2933 just kind of see if there's a wall somewhere and it'll confirm your bios memory settings actually work

I was in the process of flashing as I read this but it worked afterwards. Thanks!
