G732LWS upgrades.

Should just clock up to 3200 Mhz on its own. Mine was showing 2900Mhz out the box but after I updated to 310 BIOS it updated to 3200 Mhz. Use CPU-Z or even task manager on the performance tab.

Task manager and even Armoury Crate list it at 2660 still.

This is a picture of what my bios screen looks like in advanced.

You're sure the Ballistix you got is 3200 MHZ and not 2600? Also IDK where you can see RAM clock speeds in Crate, I can only find clock speeds for CPU and GPU. Checkout CPU-Z and see what it says, it's a lightweight and free hardware info program. Your BIOS looks fine.

It doesn't do it on its own in the bios there should be a memory configuration option known as (xmp extreme memory profile) which is normally found in overclocking tools but the bios updates on almost all models have removed that feature.

As you can see from this screenshot I have 64GB of 3200 DDR 1600mhz on dual channel as you can see after the jdecs the 2x xmp profiles one at 3200 and the other at 2936mhz this is because XMP profiling is not available in the bios. so until ASUS actually enable xmp in the bios you will always be stuck with this.

Is that why my #1 stick is showing 1527MHz then? I thought that was a feature, not a bug. Thanks for the help.

Yea the preinstalled ram doesn't support xmp hence why I bought new ram but turns out the reason the 3200mhz isn't a thing in our laptops is because of it not being in the bios

It would be nice is ASUS updated the bios software so we could utilise the 3200mhz and not cheat us on this

Yeah I specifically got the i7-10875 cuz I wanted 3200 MHz RAM. Surely this will be fixed at some update. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

No other work arounds in the mean time?

none unless ASUS has a trick that they don't share unless we ask... lol

This is what it shows on CPU-Z. The sticks I bought are this. https://www.mwave.com.au/product/cru...-black-ac33105

The specs sheet for the G732LWS said there would be a bios update in july that allows up to 3200. I am up to 310, but still dont see a way of getting that increase from my ram.

Damn you bought 3200 yet cpu-z shows that your max is 2666 at 1333mhz. The ram is being brought down to meet the max speed of the laptop which is 2666mhz jdec #8 is pulling your speeds down to 2526mhz on both sticks. but it seems that your xmp profile is active and drawing out the 1600mhz as its top speed but that will be limited to 2666.

can you confirm if you have DOCP and xmp enabled in your bios?
