[SOLVED] Can I run my ram at potential?

[Miglee]

HI! I have recently noticed like many, my ram was running at 2133mhz. originally XMP was not in bios, but I updated it. I enabled XMP and my voltage went from 1.2 to 1.35 but the speed remained at 2133mhz.
Specs are
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI
Ram: Corsair vengeance LPX 2x8gb 3200mhz DDR4
CPU: Intel I5-6500

running bios F22e

With that board and CPU you will be limited to 2133.

Thanks!! Will I have to replace both to run higher ram speeds or just one component?

You'd have to get a z170 or Z270 board, however the performance boost would be little to none and most likely not worth the price of the upgrade.

Fair enough, I was thinking about building up a new PC anyway. I bought this off my buddy who made it as a side project because I was on console at the time. I appreciate the help!!
