Hello, I'm reaching out because I have two RAM sticks 2x8GB 3200MHz on an MSI H510M Pro motherboard, which the manual states supports 3200MHz
So I go to the MSI website, download the latest BIOS version, install it and I'm still stuck at 2666MHz in my OC profile XPM1 - there is no option to set 3200MHz. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
If you set it to XMP Profile1, it should theoretically run at its rated frequency.
But it sends more voltage to your CPU too, which carries a risk.
Just because this mode exists and some hardware is certified for it doesn’t mean it won’t void your warranty on your other components.
What shocks me even more is going from 3600 to 2666.
And my motherboard supports 4500+...
But I’m keeping it at default.
I don’t want to damage anything.
