Here is why your laptop's BIOS does not have XMP or AI Tweaker settings.

Yeah, it's running at 2666 mhz and the timing settings are fine, but using just one memory stick with only 1x 16gb is way slower than having two. If your model has two slots, you should always plug in both sticks instead of just one.
Is the old 8gb ram the exact same model as this 16gb? If yes, just put that in slot2. If no, send it back (if you still have it), buy a new one with the same model, or get an 8gb/16gb stick from the same factory and same timing/rank specs.
Okay. Well at first I tried searching for an 8gb memory stick, but I didn't find one with the same model number. I have already asked my store to send me a return for what I got. So the best move would be to buy a kit that uses two sticks of 8gb RAM, right? Two sticks at 2666mhz and it should work faster
