hey can anyone help, I recently upgraded my Asus GL10CS pre-built from 8gb ram to G.Skill trident Z 3200MHZ ram 32GB, 
my old ram used to work at 2666Mhz and my motherboard supports 2666Mhz but this ram is running at only 2133MHz 
there is no XMP option in the bios and no AI tweaker also 

is there a way to increase my ram speed  

my cpu is i7 9700k
gpu RTX 2060

after googling a bit it seems like your motherbord only supports "plug and play" memory meaning that if you buy 2666mhz plug and play it will run at 2666mhz out of the box. there seems to be no way to make your current ram to run at 3200mhz.

also what exact specs of the pc?

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

I know it wont run at 3200 as my motherboard doesnt supports it but my motherboard supports 2666mhz i want it to run at 2666mhz 
or are you saying that ram which has 2666mhz as their max speed will only run at 2666mhz ?

I am playing cyberpunk and flight sim 2020 and I am getting better performance. so should I replace it ??
also I cant find any 2666mhz ram online they are all out of stock for some reason

yeah. seems to be some stokc issue. also as said youd have to buy 2666mhz plug nad play which seem pretty hard to find

Well, thanks for help, I am thinking of keeping this ram better than getting stuck with 8gb

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I'd also look into it closely because many motherboards throttle RAM when at/near full capacity.

Should I try putting in just one 16gb stick to see if it is giving me 2666Mhz ? as the max ram supportable by my motherboard is 32 gb

it wont work. your ram is not plug and play so it will run at 2133mhz unless your turn on XMP that you cant do!
