Hey there! Yesterday you nailed the build, and now you're thinking about installing Windows. The BIOS is telling your system it can't read your RAM speed right. You got two 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 2666MHz chips, but it's seeing 2133. What could be wrong? Maybe check the RAM settings in BIOS or ensure they're properly seated. Also, confirm the chipset matches your motherboard—your ASRock B365M-pro4 should work with those speeds. If it still doesn't match, try reseating the RAM or contacting support for a deeper look.

xmp or a-xmp enables memory overclocking by letting your RAM run faster than its official limit. Once activated, it should function properly; if not, you can adjust the speed manually.
