Hey there guys and gals,

I want to get to a solution on what I am experiencing here. I just got a new motherboard, cpu and ram but now I see something that's catching my eye.

So the Ram I got, it's native clocking is 2400Mhz but it runs 2133Mhz with no XMP Profile. I turned on the XMP Profile and it's Auto is 2400Mhz 😵 what? lol

Then that's not all, now what I really want to get to the point with is that in the Bios with the XMP enabled it shows running 2400Mhz stable, When windows boots up and I open the monitor it shows 2133Mhz. That's what I cannot understand.

Nothing is Overclocked or tweaked by me.

Look at the ringed box , if that's showing 1200 then your ram is running at 2400mhz.
