Hello,
Just put together a new Kaby Lake machine using an Asus PRIME B250 motherboard and a single stick of Corsair Vengeance 2400 DDR4 RAM. The memory is certified in Asus's QVL so there should be no issue with compatibility so I was puzzled why when entering the BIOS that the RAM speed was reported as 2133 Mhz. Now, my understanding of Kaby Lake boards is that they natively support 2400 Mhz RAM.
I saw that there was an XMP profile available supporting 2400 speed and selected that. This reports a 2400 Mhz memory frequency when looking at the advanced page details but when viewing the EZ mode info the memory speed is still reported as 2133. I had assumed that I would not need to fiddle with XMP settings to get a 2400 Mhz stick of RAM on a new Kaby Lake board to run at the default speed.
I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me as to what's going on please.
Thanks.
