Acer Predator PO3-640
Hi everyone,
I upgraded my RAM to 4 x 8GB Kingston Fury Beast at 3200mhz, but my PC only works at 2400mhz and the XMP profile is locked in BIOS. How can I unlock the XMP profile and reach the full speed? Any suggestions?

Hello there! Here’s the information you asked for. Please share the link to the RAM kit you’re using, the BIOS version of your prebuilt’s motherboard, and any details about the mainboard’s tab.
it's not possible to run a 4-channel 3200mhz ram with an acer system, as it isn't overclock-friendly. consider purchasing a new pc with a k cpu and b/z board that supports quad channel 3200mhz ram. alternatively, you could opt for four affordable 2400mhz ram modules to fit your acer pc and save costs.

and I'll do my utmost to assist you. As you've noticed before, I don't have any title, so...
Like @lolvatveo said, Acer isn't particularly overclock friendly, and generally, any brand such as MEDION or Acer will try to stop you from overclocking in order to avoid voiding the warranty unless it's specifically designed for that.
From what I understand, it comes down to the slots. Adding more RAM sticks can actually slow things down. On an older machine I worked on, a friend installed three RAM modules and it limited the RAM speed to 1333MHz.
A possible solution I could suggest is returning your four RAM sticks and purchasing two 16 GB units. Then you'd need to check if your motherboard supports 16 GB sticks—probably yes.
EDIT: The Predator Orion 3000 Model 640 can handle up to 64 GB of RAM, which would be 16 GB per stick.
I hope this helps with your issue. If anything doesn't work out, let me know so I can improve. See you.
the motherboard is set to 1.2v and supports only 3200mhz at that voltage. it might be possible to run two 3200mhz kits, but they would likely work in dual-channel mode rather than quad. https://uk.crucial.com/compatible-upgrad...or-po3-640
