I bought 16 units of 3200mhz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM and installed it, but it's only running at 2133mhz. I've been checking the BIOS settings lately, but so far nothing has helped. The photos I took weren't captured because I couldn't locate my USB drive.
I adjusted the settings to profile 2, but it matched what it did when off. Profile 1 listed 2933Mhz, so I assumed that was the right one. I’ll try again now. Also, that setting is under advanced options—should be SOC voltage, but I’m still new to BIOS tweaks and haven’t changed much before. It might be the default voltage.
Default SOC voltage needs to be at least 1v; setting it between 1.05-1.1v helps stabilize RAM overclocking. Your RAM voltage is also insufficient—3200Mhz should ideally be 1.35v, though this might be affected by SOC. If you're experienced, you can adjust both manually.
I just verified it was configured as "Auto." When attempting to raise the voltage to 1.35V, the highlighted value turned red. I changed it to 1V and it worked. Now it’s running at 3200Mhz as expected. Adding my 16GB of 2666Mhz RAM and boosting it to 3200Mhz didn’t improve performance—it still drops to around 2133Mhz regardless of adjustments. It looks like I ended up with extra 2666Mhz RAM that was previously unused until I upgraded.
