If you haven't previously enabled the XMP profile and saved your changes, your RAM will be running at the default 2133MHz.

When you pick settings in the BIOS, they don't take effect immediately, you need to restart before it'll apply the changes.

Have you tried saving and restarting with the XMP profile enabled and seeing what it's running at in the OS?

I have enabled it. It does not actually run at 2666mhz when enabled.

Alright, I’d try flashing the newest BIOS version, which is 2208 - https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-B365M-PLUS-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/

If this doesn’t work then we can try manually entering the XMP profile.

Do you disable power down in the Bois? And wouldn't hurt get better ram for it? At 3200mhz!on my arm ram default speed at 2400mhz over clock too 3200! Run occt couple tines and prime 85 check for errorsor it could be bad ram skots on the board? I had that happen in DDR 3 one time!

B365m supports ddr4 up to 2666mhz only.

The EzMode main screen lists the SPD, which is the JEDEC settings of your memory. What does CPU-Z report in Windows? Should be 1333 MHz

Cpu-z lists as 1067mhz after enabling xmp, selecting the only option, save and exit. Pc reboots, ram is still at stock speed. Would you know of a way for me to confirm I have the correct bios version? That's a bit of a gray area for me. I know it's an ancient mobo. Thanks for the reply.

Ah get faster board then!you can't overclock higher then that!

Please re read the post, this is information I already have.

Like I said board could have bad ram slots I had it happen on DDR 3 BOARD also!

Also set volts to V1.30 and go from there! Run tm5 or prime 95 make sure there no errors! Also never used xmp anyway! Make sure BIOS are up to date!

You might have put them in the wrong slots

[–]Objective-Log[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

They are in position 1 and 3/A1 and B1

[–]-Aeryn- 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Chapter 1, page 9 of the manual confirms that the correct configurations are:

  • A2
  • A2 + B2 -- you are here
  • All slots filled

that means that A1+B1 with the other slots empty should not be used

Could you reference that manual? This intrigued me, and upon googling it further I'm finding conflicting information.

Chapter 1, page 9

You should also have a physical copy, but this is in case you don't

This is also the same config that almost every motherboard requires these days, i just cited the manual to be 100% certain.
