Why is my 8GB RAM showing 2133MHz instead of 3200MHz?

Asked By TechyGamer92 On

I've installed four 8GB RAM sticks in my PC, and everything seems to work fine. However, I noticed that the RAM is running at 2133MHz instead of the advertised 3200MHz. I've tried looking at tutorials to fix this issue, but when I go into the BIOS, I can't find an option to select dual XMP. Should I just leave it as is until I upgrade my system?

You might want to check if you can enable XMP or A-XMP settings in your BIOS. What motherboard and CPU are you using?

Here's a link to my build if that helps: [PC Build](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PwfwXR).

I also have a screenshot of my BIOS showing A-XMP Profile 1 and 2: [BIOS](https://imgur.com/a/ahPZZjN).

If you can't find XMP in your BIOS, it could be missing due to an outdated BIOS version. Try updating your motherboard's BIOS, and afterwards, look again. If it's still not showing, you might need to manually enter the RAM's rated speed and timings. Don't forget to run some memory tests with OCCT to ensure stability afterward!

Yeah, just enabling XMP in BIOS should help you get to that 3200MHz speed you're looking for.
