So I used RAM already, but I can't even get XMP running. Can I do it manually? My Ram is G Skill Aegis 2666 MHz. My phone is an ASUS B250F ROG Strix and it supports up to 2400 MHz, shouldn't it be XMP set to that? Thanks guys.

What is currently active?
You shouldn't need to turn on XMP if you're using a 7th generation processor.
Because of Intel chipset restrictions, DDR4 2400MHz memory speed only works with 7th Generation Intel processors.
Larger memory cards will operate at the highest possible transfer rate for DDR4 2400MHz.
Also, due to Intel chipset constraints, DDR4 2133MHz and above on 6th Generation Intel processors will function at the maximum transfer speed for DDR4 2133MHz.

it operates at 2133, i have a 6th gen cpu, with the previous one, an 8 gb stick borrowed from a friend, and i managed to reach 2400mhz using xmp on the same hardware. With this 2x8 gb kit from g skill that reaches 2666mhz, xmp isn't feasible.
