Well, I kinda knew that but maybe was just me being thick, I couldn’t see the performance option tab.....until I looked a bit further. Found it, XMP was disabled, but was not letting me change it from disabled. Reset optimal defaults and bingo, became changeable - enabled in BIOS and restarted. CPUz now showing XMP2 speed of 2933
Bro. Same thing is Happening to me. I bought an Aurora R8 which had HyperX 3200Mhz which was showing as 2933Mhz. I went to the bios and saw most desruptive thing, it was running at XMP1 at 2933MHz, when I changed it to XMP2 it started working as 3200MHz. Why its desruptive? coz HYPERX guidelines says it should be vice-versa. Read this - https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX432C18FB_16.pdf I had bought a new RAM from amazon, to upgrade my system to 32gb, which arrived yesterday. Now I am in soup, the new RAM work as per the guidelines whereas the pre-installed RAM doesn't, when I put them together they run at 2666MHz. PUFFFFFFFFF!!!!! Not only this my system slows down or not even boot at times. As of now I have put away the pre-installed RAM and works with the new one only. After trying everything, I was looking for answers online and saw this. Still have no solution for the same. I am not sure if Made is China (pre-installed) vs Made is Taiwan (new RAM) have anything to do with it. Although I will be calling the Dell team soon to answer my questions. Let me know if you find it sooner. Cheers!
I too had the issue of low memory clock speeds on an R10. 2933 MHz installed but only showing as 2400 MHz. Went to BIOS and tried to adjust the performance tab but it wouldn't let me edit. I reset optimal and then it allowed me to change options. It was set to OC2 which set it to 2400 MHz. I changed to OC1 and it went to 2800 MHz. Setting to Auto put it to the desired 2933 MHz. Thank you for the workaround!

Boot into the BIOS at startup (F2). Enter performance options and verify that XMP is enabled.
