XMP Profile not saving my ram speed.

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello forums,

Today, I recently attempted enabling my XMP profile to use the advertised speed of my ram. The original ram speed is set to 2400 mhz and the advertised speed is 2666 Mhz. When I click on enable XMP Profile, it says that it is on, and then I save the configuration and reboot back into bios, the profile does not save and is set to the stock speed of 2400Mhz but the XMP is on and enabled.

The motherboard states that it supports the speeds of 2666/2400/2133Mhz. When I am in the bios, I think the option was labeled PCH Latency Timer or something and it was set to 2400.

I would appreciate the help if there is a solution.

I have the motherboard of MSI h310m pro-vdh Motherboard Specifications.
RAM: 2x4GB Ballistix RAM. 2666Mhz DDr4 The RAM link.
CPU: Intel Pentium Gold G5400 CPU Specifications.
 
Hi there @Oyxii :)

Did you try resetting the BIOS settings to default first? That way everything is back to standard settings.

After doing so, try setting the XMP Profile to #1 and save and reset. After doing so, go back into BIOS and see if it sticks :)
 
NOTE:
Due to Intel® chipset limitation, the DDR4 RAM will run at maximum 2400MHz only

You can manually set the non-XMP 2400 MHz to run at 2666 MHz. But you can't do the same to the XMP RAM.
You need a z series motherboard and k SKU CPU to enable XMP
