Hello community

I've a msi z270 m3 mobo and 16 ripjaws ddr4 2400mhz with an i5 7600k.

I've enabled the XMP profiles but when I use corsair LINK or CPU-Z my memory speed is sightly lower 1200mhz instead of 2400mhz

How can I get my 2400?

Thank you in advance!

Don't know about Corsair Link, but some tabs of CPU-Z and other apps report the base memory clock speed, which you have to double since you're running dual channel memory. So you might be running at 2400mhz after all.

Are you looking at the SPD tab in CPU-Z, or the Memory Tab?

You should also be able to see the memory frequency somewhere in the BIOS info summary.
