Question Why is my rams performing below expected

[BattleOcelot]

Hello today i decided to run a test from UserBenchmark.com and after running the test i found out that my rams are performing below expected so i did a troubleshoot and it said that i should enable something named ''XMP'' from my bios so i did it but it didnt change anything. Any suggestions?

Here is the result:
UserBenchmarks: Game 101%, Desk 76%, Work 53%
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 - 73.9%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 - 123.8%
SSD: Corsair Force GS 128GB - 86.1%
HDD: WD Green 2TB (2012) - 79.3%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 C14 2x8GB - 41.1%
MBD: Asus H170 PRO GAMING

Is xmp turned on in bios?

I think so because in my bios settings my ram profile is XMP.

Ram is running at 2133. In other words, reference speed.


XMP is not enabled in bios. You need to turn it on

I am not sure how to enable it, i tried to enable it from bios but i guess it didnt work, is there another way to enable it?

Looks like you are in single mode also, memory needs to be installed in slots A-2 and B-2 for dual channel operation. Is that where they are? See 1-7 of your manual.

Guys may it be because my motherboard supports only up to 2133mhz and cant go up to 2400mhz?

No, the extra few MHz isn't worth the motherboard change.
