Hey there! I recently assembled my PC and noticed the RAM wasn't compatible, so I purchased a replacement. It came today, but when I checked my BIOS, the XMP feature was listed as 'disable' instead of an option. Even after swapping the RAM slots, nothing changed. I set it to run at 3200MHz, but still can't turn on XMP. MoBo: B660M TUF GAMING PLUS D4 LGA 1700 CPU: Intel Core i5 12400F RAM: 2X16 Kingston DDR4 3200 Hyper-x Black Beast GPU: RTX 3070 Galax

Are you certain you received the precise matching items? That is the main concern here.

I acquired both from the same person, and they appear identical in Bios. That’s odd...

Inspect the packaging or label of the RAM to verify all specifications match. Be aware of the risks associated with purchasing RAMs individually instead of in pairs.

They match exactly, just verified. The unusual part is I now have a third stick of RAM with a different frequency, and after adding it, XMP became available again. It’s confusing.
