Merry Christmas everyone from Greece!
Recently i built a new system compiled from old and new staff: i7 9700K, Asrock H370 HDV mobo, RTX 3070 an 16Gb DDR4 Ram 3600CL16. Motherboard doesnt support overclocking the CPU and only supports memory up to 2666. Right now i havent enabled XMP, so RAM runs at 2133 or sthing, the lowest anyway.
Question is , do i enable XMP from BIOS? Will it use a Profile @ 2666 CL16, or try to run @ 3600, probably can't since its not supported and then fail to boot? Should i choose an "AUTO" option or manualy select 2666?
Many , many thanks!
 
Thanks,
Task Manager says 2133, so does CPU-Z...So, i should enter bios and try to to select 2666 under some Manual adjustment, right? Not "just" enable Profile 1" for example, because it may try to run memory at "native" 3600, then crash since mobo only goes upto 2666? Do i understand it correctly?
