I own this notebook: HP Pavilion 14-ce3040ng 2019, germany
and it had this RAM preinstalled:
Samsung M471A2K43CB1-CTD 16GB PC4 DDR4-2666mHz Single SO-DIMM
Then I replaced it with this RAM:
G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB PC4 DDR4-3200mHz CL18 Single SO-DIMM
My notebook ist working great with the new Rjpjaws RAM but my Windows 10 64Bit shows me that it uses only 2400 instead of 3200 MHz. I went to the advanced bios settings and found under the memory section a huge amount of changing options. So I saw an option called "maximum frequency" and changed the settings from 2400 to 3200MHz. However nothing changed and windows still shows 2400MHz in use. I mean the pre-installed RAM also worked with2666MHz which is above 2400MHz but the system doesnt want to use the full 3200MHz available on my new RAM and limits it to 2400MHz.
I have an Intel i7 1065G7 CPU which also supports DDR4 3200Mhz. I also have to the newest bios update installed F.03
I need a solution for this, please help me.
Thanks in advance!

You should ONLY use 2666MHz RAM (supported), over that number it will automatically downgrade. Have you been attending a F1 race. You can't run those cars (speed) on normal city streets.
