Issue with MSI PRO B660M-A Wi-Fi and XMP profile problems
I've just completed assembling my new PC. I'm attempting to activate XMP for my RAM to reach its rated speed, but it's not working. The parts list is available here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vRzZH2. It's currently operating at 2400MHz, and I followed MSI's instructions, though the motherboard model in the guide differs from mine. Despite following the steps closely, I encountered issues. After entering BIOS and selecting XMP Profile 1, saving, and exiting, the CPU error LED lit up, and the DRAM error LED flashed a few times. The error message appeared after a short while. Pressing F1 took me to the BIOS, where the displayed speed was now 2666MHz. Exiting BIOS just re-displayed the error. Turning off the XMP profile allowed me to boot into Windows. What should I do next?
I repeated all the procedures, changed the CPU model to Gear 2, and managed to start Windows. RAM is now running at 3200MHz. I'm still figuring out the distinctions, but I think I'll stick with this setup for now.
