Can't enable XMP

[patrickin]

Hi everyone! I recently built my PC and saw that I had not matching RAM, so I bought a new stick of RAM. It arrived today but, as soon as I went on my BIOS, I see that the XMP option is available, but there's only the 'disable' option. I've already switched places of my RAM but it didn't change anything. I got it to run at max speed, 3200mhz, but still don't understand why I can't enable XMP..

 

MoBo: B660M TUF GAMING PLUS D4 LGA 1700

CPU: Intel Core i5 12400F

RAM: 2X16 Kingston DDR4 3200 Hyper-x Black Beast

GPU: RTX 3070 Galax

Are you absolutely sure you got exact matching ramsticks? Cause that would be a primary reason why

Pretty sure. I bought the two of them from the same guy, and they look the same in Bios. Really weird...

Check packaging or label of the RAM, make sure every spec is the same.

This is the risk of buying RAMs not in pairs.

They are the same, just confirmed. What's weird is, I have a third stick of RAM (he's a different frequency), and by putting him in with the other two, XMP was available once again. I'm really confused.
