[SOLVED] Can't seem to enable XMP settings for new RAM?

Hey all!

Having a bit of a problem with my new RAM (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085SNZQTJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zUEdFbXAX68K6) after upgrading from standard Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB)

In BIOS (Asrock B250M-HDV MOBO) I'm not getting a drop down tab to change the XMP from auto, to well, an XMP profile! Shown here:

With my old RAM there was an extra tab which I just set to an XMP profile and changed the frequency from 2400 I think it was, to 3200mhz. My current RAM can run at 3600, but currently won't get above 2400, presumably because I need to enable an XMP.

It might be worth noting I've recently done a Windows reinstall because I'd been having some BSOD and game stuttering issues that could potentially be to do with the new RAM. Still troubleshooting that to see if the problem has been sorted, just thought I'd mention though.

Apologies if I'm being a bit blind and have overlooked something obvious, it's been a long couple of days adding new components and troubleshooting!

Thanks for taking a look

Oh wait have I overlooked that my motherboard only accepts RAM up to 2400mhz? I could have sworn the last RAM that I had allowed for XMP & 3200mhz in BIOS, unless it only showed that but then in reality it still ran at 2400mhz, I honestly never looked after changing the old RAMs frequency.

Ahh right thank you! Bit annoying I didn't see that haha, but no harm done in getting the new RAM I suppose, more GB in the system haha. Thanks for the help!
