Is XMP possible on this mobo/RAM?

[Raivop]

Hiyo, I have been reading that activating XMP will improve RAM's performance, or at least give correct/better clocks, so I have been wondering that if XMP is possible on this mobo/RAM:

Gigabyte B150M-D3H-CF
2x 8192MB Crucial CT2K8G4DFD8213 DDR4-2133 DIMM CL15-15-15 Dual Kit

No. Need Z170.

Alrighty, thought so. Thanks for the answer. And have a .

Umm... you have the wrong idea about XMP.

XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) auto overclocks RAM to the correct frequency and timings to make overclocking the RAM easier for the user. RAM needs to have a XMP profile to enable XMP.



Why you can't enable XMP:
1. B150 can't overclock.
2. The fastest RAM your mobo supports is 2133mhz.
3. You current RAM is 2133mhz which is a non overclocked RAM speed.

Alrighty, good to know. Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure about how the XMP worked, even I have been lurking around here for ages (lol), but still, thanks for the info.

There's no point on such a limited board as that, which only supports 2133 RAM; thus there is no point to XMP on that.

You are wrong i have msi b150m mortar and got XMP profile.

No, B150 mobo does not have XMP profile.

Then why do i have it explain, the mobo has also xmp led so when i turn on the xmp profile it lights red.

LOL. Mobo doesn't have XMP LED. Mobo has LED lighting then they always turn on.

If the RAM LED indicator turns on it's usually mean there's a problem. It's an error indicator...

DDR4 2133 MHz and higher memory modules will only run at maximum of DDR4 2133 MHz on XMP mode due to Intel® chipset limitation

But you see it has xmp :p and it really has xmp led indicator
and it must be there for a reason since it cant work on higher than 2133 mhz due to chipset, that means it works only with 2133 mhz because thats the slowest ddr4 ram and it doesnt support ddr3. Why would they bother putting it there for no reason?
