Hey guys,

Just finished my build and I'm running 4 * 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 on Asus Strix Gaming X99. The CPU is a i7-6850K.

The problem is, in my BIOS all the RAM sticks are running at 2133. I did update the BIOS & drivers as soon as I installed the OS and in the BIOS I've set the RAM profile to X.M.P - 2400 - something, but they are still running at 2133.

I'm kinda noob and I don't really understand why this is happening. When choosing the RAM I went with DDR4 2400 because this is the highest 'official' support from a 6850K, without any OC.

The sticks were bought from Amazon.

What should i do to run the RAM at full speed?

Thanks!

Found a thread almost identical to this one, So why not extend your knowledge instead of just a "Quick fix." :) Good luck.
