Fixing RAM Speed from 2400 MHz to 3200 MHz (MSI Motherboard Example)
I had 32 GB of Kingston Fury Beast DDR4-3200 MHz RAM, but when I checked Task Manager → Performance → Memory, it showed only 2400 MHz.
That’s the default “safe” JEDEC speed, not the real rated speed.
With ChatGPT’s help, here’s what I did to fix it:
Steps to enable full RAM speed (A-XMP / XMP)
Restart your PC and press DEL to enter the BIOS.
In the MSI Click BIOS 5 screen, press F7 to switch to Advanced Mode.
Go to the OC (Overclocking) tab.
Find the option A-XMP (sometimes called XMP or DOCP).
Select Profile 1 (DDR4-3200 MHz).
Press F10 to save and exit → choose Yes when it asks to save changes.
Let Windows boot and open Task Manager → Performance → Memory again.
You should now see Speed: 3200 MHz
Why this happens
RAM modules ship with two speed profiles:
JEDEC (default) → low, universally safe speed (like 2400 MHz)
XMP/A-XMP (manufacturer’s rated) → full advertised speed (like 3200 MHz)
Activating A-XMP simply tells your motherboard to use the faster preset.
It’s not overclocking; it just enables the RAM’s intended performance.
I asked chat to put what we did. i think its different on other motherboards but you'll get the hang of it. this really worked it out for me now everything works perfect.
Tip:
Every graphics card has a capacity limit, and it is impossible for any NVIDIA card in the '60 class (e.g., 3060, 2060) to run games at high frame rates (FPS) at 1440p (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution.
Therefore, if someone owns a 2K (1440p) monitor that supports a 240 Hz refresh rate, they should try adjusting the screen settings to 1080p (1920 x 1080). Then, based on the graphics card model and its operating capacity, they should set the refresh rate to either 60 Hz or 144 Hz.
This is the main reason for the FPS (Frame Rate) drops I have been experiencing.
That's absolutely NOT how that works...
Stop the misinformation. This is a cpu game engine issue.
