No XMP Profile Showing After New RAM.

[Truebrit]

Installed some new RAM today and now I have no option for an XMP profile, there was one before. I originally had 16GB 1600MHz and moved to 32GB 1866MHz.

MOBO: ASUS Z87A

The part number for the 8GB stick in your screenshot appears to only have JEDEC profiles in Kingston's pdf datasheet.

What does this mean? Can I just change the DRAM Frequency shown in the jpg?

Kingston puts "PnP" next to the entries (Plug and Play), which I assume they mean: the system will automatically select the frequency, timings and voltage for the memory.

Are your 4 sticks all identical to the part number in the screenshot?

If you intend to configure them manually: you should copy the values in the SPD tab of CPU-Z, including the frequency, timings and voltage, unless the motherboard identifies them correctly automatically.

What does CPU-Z say is the current DRAM frequency?

It looks like it was automatically configured correctly at the highest setting (a screenshot of the SPD tab would help confirm), so I'd personally just leave it be.

Looks like it was configured faster than the highest setting, but eh, if it works, it works.

Faster? I can't read those things.

The fastest JEDEC profile is #6: 800 @ 11-11-11-28. Your PC is running: 800 @ 9-9-9-24.

So you bought some new RAM without checking if it supported XMP or without even understanding what JEDEC/XMP means?

Yes.

OK mate, it works good for DCS so I'll keep it as it is, thanks for the help.
