  "So I selected XMP1" You need XMP2 to get the full 3200 on the OEM Dell HyperX Fury RAM.
I just recently purchased an Alienware Aurora R11 with the following specs: According to the BIOS, XMP is disabled and Windows (Task Manager) is reporting the memory's clock speed at 2933MHz.  If I choose "optimal settings" in the BIOS, it keeps XMP disabled.  So I selected XMP1, saved the changes, rebooted, and went back to the Windows Task Manager to see if anything changed.  It still reads 2933MHz.  I went back to the BIOS thinking that maybe the update didn't stick but it still shows XMP1. Is there another method to validate that the memory is in fact running at 3200MHz?  I even tried seeing if anything can be done through the AWCC but it won't allow me to change any overclock settings (CPU, GPU, memory).  I can select between the two predefined overclock profiles but I don't see any difference in the settings. What's going on? Oh...I think I made a mistake not ordering the system with 64GB of memory because Dell doesn't sell a 32GB HyperX Fury kit and I've read that it's a bit tricky using off-the-shelf memory from Kingston as well as other manufacturers.
How do I validate which XMP profile is being used?
