HP ProDesk 400 G5 Microtower PC

Hello! I tried a while ago to turn my XMP on from BIOS, but my motherboard does not have any settings with RAM or XMP
I basically bought RAM 16GB DDR4, 3200MHz CL16, Dual Channel Kit, But my motherboard doesn't allow the ram to work at 3200MHz , its stuck at 2667MHz
How can i change the speed or turn on XMP?
Thank you!😅

The memory speed(bandwidth) is unchangeable and will only be at the default setting that the BIOS allows.

 

Your HP factory prebuilt desktop PC is not a DIY unit so it has a  factory BIOS that is limited so as to not allow owners to brick their motherboards with inadvertent BIOS changes.

Isn't there any there way that i can change my RAM speed?

HP Recommended

NO.

 

That is controlled by the BIOS ROM file.

 

Modification to BIOS and timing settings were made unchangeable by owner for the reason that I suggested earlier.
