Question no intel xmp profile 2

[ImAjE_]

hello. i have an intel i3 8100 and adata xpg 8gb ddr4 3200mhz stick , and tried to select from my bios ( gigabyte b360m ds3h) xmp profile 2 but i have only ''disable'' and ''profile 1'' options. does anyone know why i don't have a profile 2 to oc my memory? if i ran it at profile 1 it runs only at 2400mhz but in windows hwinfo displays the memory at 1200mhz . if i have it on disable it rans at high latency 19-19-19-43 or something. maybe my cpu won't take use of high frequency but at least i'd like to run it at 1200 13-14-14-28 xmp 1.35v , any ideas how?

That motherboard only supports up to 2400 MHz RAM with that CPU.

DDR means double data rate, so a memory clock of 1200 MHz corresponds to 2400 MHz RAM.

Yeah, the 1200 is doubled to give the speed. DDR mean double data rate.

You may have to configure the ram manually, by entering the timings and voltage. You can do this in the bios. However looking at your mobo, this pops up in the specs:

1. Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
   * To support 2666 MHz or XMP memory, you must install an 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor.

The key being 8th Gen I5/I7! No mention of the I3. That may be why you have that issue.

Try a bios update. That may fix the compatibility issue and get them working.

i have the latest bios version, still xmp profile 2 doesn't appear in bios. i have read that it should be 2 profiles in the motherboard's manual. i have read that in my mobo manual as well that i must have i5/i7 but i thought there is an error or something because others manage to ran xmp with i3 8100

You can probably still use XMP with an i3, just nothing above 2400 MHz.

i know that i3 8100 supports maximum 2400mhz but with xmp i should be able to run higher frequencies

 

[TJ Hooker]

i3 is rated for 2400 MHz DDR4 by Intel, i5/i7/i9 for 2666 MHz. Anything higher than these frequencies is considered an overclock. Only Z series motherboards support overclocking (RAM or CPU). What you're seeing is totally expected.

i see, any idea how to run the 1200 13-14-14-28 41 xmp 1.35v profile as it shows in the picture i attached above? maye i can benefit from lower latency

What happens when you enable Profile 1?

What happens when you enable Profile 1?

profile 1 means the current configuration : 16-18-18-36 WITH RC 54 and 1.35 Voltage at 1600MHZ(as the main specs advertised by adata) , it is the first module timing which appears on the picture from my first post. this is the only profile with the current preset configuration that xmp and bios provide. so because i can't really take use of that 1600 frequency because in windows's hwinfo it detects only 1200mhz, because my i3 supports 2400mhz. all good. i just wanted to set my timings to ''13-14-14-28 41 xmp at 1.35v and 1200mhz '' as this configuration appears on my xmp module timing , so i just wanted lower latencies. so i just modify in bios at profile 1 the timings from ''16-18-18-36 RC 54'' to ''13-14-14-28 RC 41'' this are the only settings and numbers i touched in bios,there where plenty subtimings there as well preseted for profile 1 with 16-18-28-36 latencies but remained untouched,i have run memtest64 for 10 minutes don't know if it's enough and got 0 errors. now my concern is that the module timing i set there will work all right with the subtimings preseted for the original profile 1 timings. also the xmp 1.35 ram voltage is detected as 1.38 in windows and bios don't know why is that so
