Hello, your recent upgrade to DDR4 RAM has caused a slight drop in performance. The new 2666MHz modules are running at 2133MHz due to the motherboard's BIOS settings. Since your system is still using an OEM setup with Intel's BIOS, changing the RAM speed directly isn't possible. You may need to adjust BIOS parameters or consult the manufacturer for further options.

Regarding your other questions: Yes, you can use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility even with an i7-8700. However, overclocking should be done cautiously to avoid damaging your system. Always back up data and test changes gradually.

It seems there might be an alternative to turn on XMP. Otherwise, it appears you likely won't be able to achieve its full performance at the BIOS settings. If XMP exists, that's the way to go.

Consider using CPUZ to identify your motherboard and BIOS settings, then check documentation for adjusting memory speed on that platform. Also, search for BIOS updates that might support this feature.

I located the BIOS upgrade for your OEM motherboard, but it doesn’t alter the settings within the BIOS directly.

It could be challenging. I’m not familiar with other ways to modify this through software beyond the BIOS.

For 200€, I’d suggest a mid-range motherboard like the B550 or B650 series. They offer good performance and value within that budget.

She’s running her i7-8700 with a budget cooler and still keeps it steady at 4.3GHz throughout the day.
