8D9M0 32GB, DDR5, 5600MHz (will run at 5200MHz) why will it not run at full MHZ? TIA

Aurora R16, RAM upgrade

I used this crucial ram and it works great... runs at 5600,  I got the 32GB (2x16) kit.  I got it for 85 bucks on sale..

@UranusAlien​ I bought the same, works perfectly. The same upgrade is like $300 from Dell, no thanks.

@irsh_​ Hey man if you dont mind me asking, I just bought the same kit but im locked at 4800Mhz. Did yours work as soon as it was swapped out?  Or did you have to change some settings im not getting any luck

@raulbean​ try clearing CMOS by holding in the power button for 30 seconds.

@ProfessorW00d​ No luck, appreciate it tho. 

@raulbean , do you have 12th gen processor?  See memory configurations supported table below and noted that memory will run at the speed the processor is rated for.

@Chino de Oro​ Appreciate you helping out, I have the 14th Gen 14700f. It says it's compatible with 2x16Gb DDR5 5600Mt/s. Which is the same as listed as the ones the guy linked above I have swapped the stock RAM but its capped at 4800Mt/s. Im unable to modify it in bios as overclocking settings appear to be locked in disabled and theres no option in Alienware Command Center. 

Users report that Crucial Pro RAM kit ran at 5600 for them.  Check with Crucial support for walk through configurations although it should be plug and play.

Otherwise, use the link to Wiki and verify part number for support RAM while shopping.

@raulbean​ Where are you seeing 4800, in the BIOS or CPU-Z or? You are using the 32GB 1.1v kit correct?

@irsh_​ BIOS and Task manager display the RAM at 4800MT/s same exact Crucial Pro 32GB 5600Mt’s was purchased.

spoke with a dell rep and apparently due to my cpu im not able to enable the overclocking settings to turn on Xmp which seems very dumb even. They are telling me I need RAM with base speed of 5600 without the need of XMP since I canr enable it.

what build do you have?

This is what I show in Task Manager... i7 14700F and 4070ti Super.

@irsh_​ Interesting.... I bought the same kit model that was linked above but my says SODIMM.
