Question XMP Profile 2 grayed out

[ihatepc]

Hello everyone, i owned corsair vengence 2x8gb 3200mhz cl 16 ramsticks, runnin xmp profile 1 at 3200 mhz getting dram freq. 1600 mhz. Now I bought 2 more exactly same ramsticks and add to my pc, im using MSI MPG z490 gaming edge wifi, which supports xmp profile 2 and my ramsticks. BUT , the xmp profile 2 is grayed out! and i cant enable it, seems like 4 ramsticks on xmp profile 1 is costing me performance, since i got signature fps drops when i added 4x8gb running xmp profile 1 at 3200mhz getting dram freq. 1600 mhz.
Can anyone tell me why xmp profile 1 is grayed out and what did i do wrong.

(updated bios to the latest, compatibility check via email directly to msi)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

For the sake of relevance, can you please state the BIOS version at this moment of time?

If you multiply 1600MHz by 2, you get 3200MHz, your ram is running as it should be what limited info you've provided. Usually people include a link to the ram kit and a couple of screenshots of CPU-Z.

As for the rams you picked up, might want to take note of the PCB revisions for both kits of ram(the one purchased first and the one purchased later). See if they are different.

Now I bought 2 more exactly same ramsticks

If it's not sold as a 4 stick set then it could even be made with different parts.
1600 is running @3200 as advertised.

If you multiply 1600MHz by 2, you get 3600MHz

Really?

Im not acctualy worried with freq because it is all right, problem is xmp profile 2 is grayed out and all 4 ramsticks are on profile 1 which i dont prefer.

Can you show screenshots from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections?

I have feeling Zerk2012 is most likely correct, however I have 2 kits of 8Gig (2x4gig kits) made by Teamgroup Elite both kits are DDR4 2400 Cl16-16-16-39 1.2v (TPRD44G2400HC16BK)

One kit has Hynix IC's the other kit has SpecTek Incorporated IC's

anyway I digress

Both those kits are single ranked ram

With all four sticks installed and running at 2400Mhz 1.2v cl16 they have worked together since this PC was built back in 2017 with an R5 1600 CPU not once has this PC had an issue with them.

In fact they even would overclock and run at 3000mhz with the R5 1600 CPU and 3200mhz and with my current R5 5600 CPU
And that's with all 4 slots used and sticks not matched kits of Ram and only at 1.2v !!

I'm so impressed with Teamgroups cheap ram from back in 2017 I'm keeping them even though I don't have another PC to use them in lol

But they are not XMP rated ram, they are just cheap ram with heat spreaders

So it might be XMP that does not liked Mixed kits?

Put it this way if i put 1 of those kits in my PC with the Corsair 3200 XMP which are dual ranked 32 gig kit (2x16gig) giving me 40 gig in total XMP is not available but oddly they still work together and hit 3200Mhz but at 1.35v cl22 manually setting them

That just about goes against every recommendation in the book and mostly highly illegal!!! work that out ?

Did it offer profile 2 before you added more?
The profiles are in the memory, if it did remove the 2nd set and change it then put the other set in.

write down the timings of profile 2 go in BIOS and manually put the settings in along with voltage that should/could work.

Caught them overclocking their math
