Hello!
I'm using 2x8GB Kingston HyperX "2933MHz" RGB sticks. The problem is: After building my PC it started running on 2400MHz. Alright so I went into the BIOS to enable XMP. I "enabled" it and nothing changed. Not even in the BIOS (kind of). There's something interesting. Here's a not mine image but it shows how the BIOS looks like. View: https://i.imgur.com/G5KPtf4.jpg
So the thing is, on the left of the DRAM frequency setting it shows the current frequency (I'm guessing). But it never changes at all. It might mean that the frequency is locked like that despite the fact you can change the setting itself. So this is also maybe playing some role in the current case. I tried both XMP profiles. (there are 2 XMP profiles: one running on 2666MHz and one on 2933MHz). Also I want to note that I have checked my motherboard manual and I can run dual-channel memory both at 2666 and 2933, on the exact memory slots I'm using. I haven't got way too much of an issue running 2400 but in the end of the day I want to use what I paid for. I'm also using HW Info where in the memory tab I get this: View: https://imgur.com/a/MFv9sxf
As you can see in the memory type it says DDR4-2400. I'm not sure what this means exactly and if it matters but I'm pointing it out just in case. Is it possible that I'm missing something in the XMP process? In some places I've seen this is some bug and gets fixed if timings and frequencies get changed manually. Should I go for the manual approach?
Have a nice day!
