The PC repeatedly restarts during boot until you reach the BIOS to adjust XMP settings. Despite this, the RAM isn't reaching its advertised speed and is stuck at 2133MHz. You're asking how to get the RAM's full speed. The RAM is new, installed in slots 2 and 4, and your system is a 3-year-old build. It seems the specs match but the actual performance is limited—possibly due to BIOS settings or compatibility issues. Checking BIOS options for memory profiles might help unlock the full potential.
It seems the processor likely can't handle speeds beyond 2666MHz, and forcing XMP might be contributing to the problem.
I also attempted a frequency of 2666mhz, but the issue persisted on my computer.
You're likely testing different approaches to resolve the problem. Would you say you're fairly certain about placing the RAM correctly?
If 2666MHz fails, there must be an issue. Start testing one component at a time while using the XMP profile. If success occurs with just one or no component, your equipment is likely faulty and you should return it for repair. Alternatively, consider switching to a different model from another brand.
Even with XMP turned on and speed set to "Auto," my PC continues to face the same issue. It works just as well without XMP enabled.
It aims to reach 3200Mhz, which is equivalent to choosing 3200Hz. Picking a speed helps reduce the overall profile to a lower setting.
