How to overclock ram

[Kabob]

I have a prebuilt lenovo desktop that i just recently upgraded the ram from 16 to 32gb (corsair vengence 2x16 3200mhz) and now the speeds dropped to 2133 but i dont see a way in the bios to overclock it to 3200, even to 2666 would be better.

any help would be great

You’re going to have to go into the BIOS to overclock it. If I remember correctly go into your bios go into something like AI overclock or memory profile and enable XMP or DOCP. You can search YouTube videos if you need it

go into the BIOS and enable the XMP memory profile (or DOCP on AMD but some manufacturers call it XMP even with AMD boards)

 

If you cant find it, can you tell us which mainboard you have?

Since it's a prebuilt it may have a custom mobo with no options for that.

im not sure how to tell which board i have, It's very basic and i cant find any xmp (im on intel) is there a way to flash a hacked bios onto the board or something to enable XMP, I could be wrong but im pretty sure the preinstalled ram was running at 3200

Yea, im sorry about that but it seems like its not possible to set the ram speed, if found a post about that in the official German Lenovo forum.
