Ram speed limited.

[Chewypeach99]

After thinking about what pc I should get I decided to get a cheap prebuilt. I switched out the ram cause that was the first thing that was limiting me, but then the speed of the ram is running at 2133 MHz and the ram has the capacity for 3600. Is there any way to make it go at the higher rated speed?

Well take a look at cpuz, find the chipset it uses

Oh if it’s a dell it won’t have xmp.

You might be able to set it to like 2933mhz in the bios

sadly i looked on dells website for help and they said that the ram is just stuck at the speed and in the bios there is no setting to change this there are also other people talking about this on the dell forums sorry that I went here for help but it seems like i wont be able to speed up the ram. Thank you for your time this has been helpful learning about somethings about pc's.
