Intel Core i7 6700 running at 3.40GHz
I face an issue here. My Intel Core i7 6700 @ 3.40GHz only recognizes 2133MHz RAM, even though the board lists up to 2400MHz (MSI H270M BAZOOKA). Recently I purchased two Kingston Value RAM sticks at 2666MHz each, totaling 16GB. In BIOS the RAM shows 2666MHz, but in the system window it displays 2133MHz. There’s no XMP profile available to raise the speed to 2400MHz, which the board supports. Can I adjust the RAM speed to match the maximum supported by the motherboard? Or should I consider upgrading to a new ASUS PRIME Z270M-PLUS with DDR4 support that allows overclocking to 3866MHz? Need guidance...
It's an ASUS Z170, though I'm not sure of the precise version. You mentioned you have a H270, which is noticeably less powerful than a Z270. Personally, I don't believe upgrading to a Z270-mobo for just a bit faster RAM makes sense—since the CPU can't be overclocked and the RAM speed gain isn't significant enough to justify the cost of a new motherboard.
To verify if your "My Build" setup can identify all connected system devices, check the relevant configuration files and ensure proper network scanning is enabled.
Hi there, it's a signature. You can change it in your account settings. I just build my system myself so I know what's in it. But you can see your storage devices in the BIOS and some devices in your device manager.
