Question Why is my Kingston Fury X running at lower speed?

[halastef]

Title.
Motherboard: h310cm-hdv/M.2
Cpu: intel i3 9100f
Ram: kingston Fury X 2x8gb 2666mhz
And it is running at 2400mhz
I've searched for XMP in the bios, but it isn't appearing.

The maximum supported ram speed of the motherboard is 2400Mhz. You would need an i5 or i7 CPU to have 2666Mhz or a Z series motherboard to use faster than 2400/2666Mhz

But when I was checking it on the Asrock website, it said that it supports 2666mhz?

[TD]DDR4[/TD]
[TD]HyperX[/TD]
[TD]2666[/TD]
[TD]2666[/TD]
[TD]8GB[/TD]

So I3 9100F doesn't support 2666MHz?

The i3 9100f doesn't support more than 2400 Mhz or what?

Look at the specs of your CPU https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-9100f-processor-6m-cache-up-to-4-20-ghz.html and of an i5 of the same generation https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-9400f-processor-9m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html. Where it says memory speed, the i3 is 2400Mhz and the i5 is 2666Mhz. These are only the maximum memory speeds when the motherboards chipset (H310 in your case) does not support faster than the maximum dictated by the CPU itself. You can however increase memory speed with either an XMP setting or manually changing the settings on a Z series chipset motherboard https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007627 601322313.

How can i find the XMP, I didn't find it in the DRAM settings?
And also, does this hurt by any means the ram or the cpu?

The XMP setting will only work on the i5 or i7 CPUs for 2666Mhz on your motherboard. You need a Z370 or Z390 motherboard to use faster than 2400Mhz with your i3 CPU.

Sad story

Anyway, thanks for the info, I was thinking that the seller lied me xD.

Happy new year!
