Question How to get my Ram to run at speed?

[JedFDK]

I am new to building and I built the best computer I could for the money I had access to. I will list what I have below. The issue is My memory is showing in UEFI as only 2133mhz. How do I make it run close to if not at the 3600 DDR4 I bought. I built this computer as my video editing build with the ability to play some games if I ever have the time. Thank you.

In the BIOS, should be on the landing "EZ" page, there's an option for "XMP" or "D.O.C.P", select that and enable the profile.

128GB though.... 8x16GB, you may run into problems and may have to manually tune unless that specific kit of memory is on the QVL for the motherboard.

I picked everything through PC part picker and everything showed as compatible. so not sure if it is QVL (not sure what QVL stands for to be honest, I will google it in a bit) Yes 8 x 16gb. Again I built the best PC I could for rendering 4K plus raw video. I did select D.O.C.P. but I will have to check to see if it is enabled. Thank you.

These are the only 2 128 GB kits stated to be compatible with your Motherboard by G.Skill:

RAM Configurator-G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd.

G.SKILL

www.gskill.com

,
They are only 2666 MHz kits, so you may need to try setting the DOCP profile and then lower the DRAM frequency to 2666 or 2733 or 2800 or 2866 or 2933, etc. until you see what the fastest speed they will actually boot at and then run Memtest86 with them at that speed and see if they pass all the tests.
If they give any errors in Memtest86 you will need to lower the Frequency and test again and so forth until you find the highest speed they will run at without giving any errors.

PS
Your QVL lists this G.Skill kit as the fastest G.Skill 128 GB kit:
F4-3000C16Q2-128GVKB (XMP)

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...948.467186413.1574471232-271724210.1572841502

So you may be able to get your kit to run at 3000 or 2933 MHz.

Cool, thank you. I will definitely give that a try tonight.
