Here is why your laptop's BIOS does not have XMP or AI Tweaker settings.
'Eyo guys, I'm stuck on a big problem with my ASUS TUF FX504GM. Basically, I've upgraded my RAM and have to set the DRAM and Frequency. Normally, I do this through the BIOS or UEFI, but there are no XMP, DRAM Settings or AI Tweaker options under Advanced Options in the UEFI. Why would that happen? Ples help?
The computer is going at 2666 megahertz, but that number isn't the real speed. Instead, we have a DDR4 stick running at Double Data Rate Version 4. The math here works like this: you take 1333 times 2 and get 2666. Sometimes when people check RAM, they see half of what it actually is because of how the speed is calculated.
If this looks like this, then you are out of luck: Watch this YouTube video about flashing a modded BIOS which can unlock many features. But I don't recommend doing it because it might brick the laptop. Only do it if you have a SPI programmer to fix it later just in case something goes wrong.
What BIOS software do you use? The problem with laptops is that the manuals don't say much about BIOS because they think users just won't care what a BIOS is and shouldn't know it, so this makes it hard for us who actually want to learn. It might not have AI Tweaker since most laptops aren't made for overclocking. Laptops' bios systems are usually pretty simple.
Computers usually don't need you to push them harder than they were designed for. Also, it's hard to change how the computer's memory works even when you try. So just leave things alone by default instead of messing with settings that might break the device.
Well, I don't really want to overclock it. The new memory I got is supposed to run at 2666mhz and have different timings. But according to CPU-Z it runs slower at 1333mhz and the timing changes all over the place. Basically, the laptop actually performs worse with the 16gb of ram than it did before with just 8gb.
The computer is set to run at 2666 mhz. This means the RAM uses DDR4 technology, specifically Version 4 with a ratio of 1333 times 2 which equals 2666 mhz. Sometimes people see the speed listed as half that number because it happens this way when checking things out.
He just sent me a picture, but now I'm thinking there must be another problem making my computer work slower than usual.
