[SOLVED] Using xmp profile with i7 8700(non-k)

[Dario.drh]

Hello guys
I have 2×8 3200mhz cl16 corsair ram and my motherboard is msi 390 ace which supports up to 4000mhz ram speed but my cpu is core i7 8700(non-k) which only supports 2666mhz ram, now i want to know is it possible to use xmp profile and reach 3200 mhz ram speed? Also my default ram speed is 2133
And another question is can i manually set my ram speed to 2666?and how?

You're on the Z series chipset which allows you to overclock the ram. The IMC will be overclocked but the processor will not be overclocked. You can, though before you go ahead with anything, please make sure you've manually updated to the latest BIOS version(if you have any updates pending).

You can use XMP.
