Greetings from Ireland folks, and happy holidays while I'm at it!
New to the forum, and the reason I'm here is because I'm facing a head scratcher that I hope someone can enlighten me on. Cut the long story short, I got myself the latest Lenovo Legion T7 purely for gaming - my previous self-build outlived its usage, and given the unavailability of GPU's and PSU's to regular customers the pre-built seemed like a really good deal. So far so good, it's running sweet.
At any rate, the desktop came with 16Gb 3200 Mhz by Lenovo and I was going to upgrade with 64Gb 3200 Mhz Hyper X, 4x16 modules, which I got a great deal on during Black Friday. From the olden days I knew I may need to adjust the timings and voltages in DOCP or XMP - what I did not realize is that Lenovo doesn't provide neither capability in BIOS. The challenge is that, having swapped the sticks, the memory is bottlenecked @ 2400Mhz rather than 3200 Mhz - looking at CPU-Z (see CPU-Z s/shots) it appears that two sticks in JEDEC #8 and JEDEC #9 are running 1200Mhz, while XMP-3200 and XMP-3002 are running at 1600 and 1501 Mhz respectively. The million dollar question: is there any way to bring up the JEDEC ones to 1600Mhz on the Lenovo? If not, I assume that my only option to run 64Gb 3200 Mhz is to go with 2x 32Gb sticks in the XMP slots? I'll appreciate your guidance / advice as I could use some clarity on this - thanks in advance for your time & consideration!
