Alternative profile for AsRock XMP 2 without display support.
After numerous messages to AsRock representatives regarding the XMP Profile 2 on my motherboard, they advised me to upgrade the CPU to a K series if I wanted to use the profile. The key difference was that my friend had a nearly identical setup except for: his board used an AsRock B365M Pro4 while mine is an AsRock B365M Pro4-F, and he had a Hyperx DDR4 Dual Channel at 2444 MHz compared to my Patriot Viper DDR4 at 2666 MHz. Both have the same Intel Core I3 9100F CPU. While his motherboard supports RAM, CPU, and XMP Profile 2, it doesn’t list any XMP compatibility for my setup. The issue seems to be whether the CPU itself restricts XMP or if the higher RAM speed is the limiting factor. According to AsRock support, changing to a K CPU would require replacing the board, power supply, cooler, and improving cooling efficiency. The main concern is whether there’s any way to increase RAM capacity within this configuration, or if this is the highest I can achieve with what I have.
