so i used ram i got in a drawer already but i cant even get xmp to run,can i do it manually?
Ram is G skill aegis 2666 mhz
mobo asus b250f rog strix
mobo supports up to 2400 mhz but shouldnt it xmp it to 2400?
Thanks guys
 
What is it currently running at?
Shouldn't need to enable XMP to run at 2400 if you are running a 7th gen processor.

* Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2400MHz memory frequency is only supported by 7th Generation Intel® processors. Higher memory modules will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2400MHz.

** Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2133MHz and higher memory modules on 6th Generation Intel® processors will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2133MHz.

it runs at 2133,i have a 6th gen cpu,bur with the one i had before,a 8 gb stick i had borrowed from a friend,i was able to use xmp to go to 2400mhz with the same hardware.With this 2x8 gb kit from g skill that max out at 2666mhz xmp is not possible
