Hi, could i have some help with my bios too?
Its from a Medion, model B460H6-EM
I recently changed the quantity of total ram with 2x16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 Mhz and i realized that they only run a 2133 Mhz.
I have checked this thread (B460H6-EM change ram speed to 3200 mhz? i5 10400f ) but the old ones, the ram included with the computer when i bought it, was running at 2899 or something near 3000 mhz while on the specifications thread https://community.medion.com/t5/FAQs/FAQ-Specifications-mainboard-quot-ECS-B460H6-EM-quot/ta-p/15752...
talks about a max of 2666 Mhz.
Its quite strange and dont know exactly why the old ones can run faster being from a not so known fabricator while the Corsairs ones cannot get even to 3000 Mhz.
Thanks in advance,
Alator.

Hello @Alator and welcome.
The board doesn't support XMP/overclocking, so your new RAM only runs at 2133 MHz. Replace the memory.

Hi @Fishtown,
Thanks for the welcome.
I know it doesn't support XMP/overclocking but its quite strange that the old ram can run near 3k Mhz, while normaly those motherboards supports only to 2666 Mhz, and the Corsair ones doesn't even get to 2666 Mhz.
It means that the Corsair ones that i got only get to 3200 Mhz whit an bios overclocking?
Thanks for the fast response,
Alator.

That's not strange If you make use of XMP RAM and it isn't supported by your bios, the RAM falls back to it's lowest (Jedec) speed.
Except from that XMP RAM needs 1.35 V feeding, which your mainboard doesn't supply.
