Performing below potential (34th percentile) - ensure that a dual+ channel XMP BIOS profile is enabled

Hello All,

I have my rig and i use it basically for studying and lab purpose. Configuration is as follows

> Intel Core i-7 6700 3.4 GHz
> 16X4 Corsair Vengeance 2400 MHz
> Gigabyte MOBO GA-H170M-D3H DDR4

one fine day i checked the CPU-Z application and realized that my RAM shows just showed 1066.7 MHz under DRAM frequency section. (screen shot attached) this raised my concern as I would like to have full benefit of hat I paid for. So I ran an online test on site http://www.userbenchmark.com it gave me all the results and under RAM section there was a warning it said “Performing below potential (34th percentile) - ensure that a dual+ channel XMP BIOS profile is enabled”. Now this kinda banged my head and I started finding the XMP settings on my mother board. But couldn’t locate any. I have BIOS screen shots attached. It gives me a lot of options to customize my RAM but nowhere has an option called XMP. All screen shots attached

any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Performing below potential (34th percentile)"

Your actual problem is relying on userbenchmark.com for info.

Consider this...

Let's assume that 100% is the absolute best result you could get in factory perfect conditions and configuration.

All the systems out in the real world tested between 90 and 95%
Pretty good, right?

Now let's assume that your system tested at 92%.
Still pretty damn good right? Only a little bit off factory perfect, and only a couple percentage points below the absolute best real world result of 95%.

userbenchmark.com would display to you....Performing below potential (34th percentile)
OMG!!! Panic panic!!!
When in reality...your system is just fine.
