Your i3 8100 runs at 2400 MHz, but the CPU only supports up to 2400 MHz without overclocking. That means you can't exceed that frequency by default.

It handles speeds exceeding 2400 with XMP and manual overclocking.

Your motherboard may not support XMP for higher speeds, which limits performance to around 2400Mhz. This can vary based on the specific graphics card you use.

Running RAM faster than the CPU's supported rate requires an overclocking chipset, such as a Z-series.

Checked the maximum RAM frequency for my i3 8100, it's around 2400MHz. Compared to the i5 9400f which will reach up to 2666MHz, that’s a noticeable difference.
