Supermicro X11DPL-i, Kingston 2666 only running at 2400

[ninja6o4]

So we have an X11DPL-i motherboard, with 2x Xeon 4114 CPUs installed.
I installed 2x 32GB Kingston KSM26RD4 in both CPU's respective "DIMMA1" slot, as per the manual.
However, when I boot it up, the IMC detects at DDR4-2400. In the BIOS I forced it from Auto to 2666, but it still shows as 2400.
Anyone have ideas as to what I could try? I got the Kingston since I thought it would be compatible.

Hi ninja6o4, The specification says the Xeon 4114 supports upto 2400MHz may be thats why.
Link to spec : Intel® Xeon® Silver 4114 Processor (13.75M Cache, 2.20 GHz) Product Specifications

Hope this helps.

Even covered in the STH Intel Xeon Silver 4114 review.

You need Gold 6100 or higher for 2666.

Well damn it. I should have done more research before buying the RAM!
On the plus side.. I have a lot of choice in the used market for 2400 when I'm ready to expand.. lol

So there is a 4x32GB Kingston ram for sale in the future, hmmmmmm with the current ram price trend do you take pre-booking?

lol it will run fine at 2400 so i'll keep it for now. it's not worth taking the loss to resell at this point.
Is DDR4 trending upwards again?
