Hi

I just upgraded my laptop's memory with this kit:

 

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT BLS2K16G4S26BFSD Laptop Gaming Memory Kit 2666 MHz DDR4 DRAM 32 GB 16 GB x 2 CL16

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XRBS4Y5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

But on Task Manager shows it running at 2400MHz instead of 2666MHz:

The previous factory memory was running at 2666MHz:

I ran this HP tool and as you can see, it recognizes that the RAM maximum clock is 2666MHz, but it's only running at 2400MHz...

I read somewhere online:

 

"...this memory will not clock to 2666Mhz without XMP enabled, which is not an option on many laptops."

 

So any idea how to overcome this?
