Memory only running at 2133mhz instead of 3000mhz

[Asez23]

I have two kits of memory, ADATA XPG Z1 16gb DDR4 3000mhz CL15 and Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb DDR4 3000mhz CL16. When i go into the BIOS and task manager, i can see that they are running at only 2133mhz. Is this a problem? how do i fix it?

you need to go into bios and look for XMP mode and enable it

i saw that option in BIOS, what does it do? (extreme memory profile)

It basically allows your ram to run at its full potential. All ram will run at base speed (2133mhz) before your enable xmp. Once enabled it should run at its advertised speed.

it may not work with 2 sticks though. Or if you have a intel b series mobo system.

if you have a b series mobo on intel the max it can go is 2666mhz, so you wont get the max performace

it depends on what b series though. Older has lower.
