RAM speed

Hello, I've noticed that there are many posts of this kind but since I'm a noob with BIOS I'd like some help, some "easy steps" to fix this problem.
I've got an FXA 990 UD5 motherboard, an FX 8150 8-core processor, a Geforce 1060  6gb MSI edition, and 2 slots of Vengance Pro RAM 2400 Mhz 8 GB each and a power supply of 700w Coolermaster extreme pro, however I've noticed no change with my RAM update, so I started doing some research and I found out that my RAM was running at 1333Mhz, almost half of its speed. So I turned on my BIOS and turned into the only profile of XMP mode "profile1" wich turns my memory to 21-- .. Mhz (dont remember well)... However when it boots again it reports a failure and I need to set everything back to 1333Mhz, is there anything that I can manualy do? Thanks for your help in advance!

I dont think your mobo supports that ram. It looks like 2000Mhz is the limit. And that is overclocked.

If your ram does not have a 1866 xmp profile then the only way is to set ram parameters manually (Latency/ 1.65V) - however, it would be much easier for you to swap ram for 1866 sticks.

And may you tell me how to do that please?

I don't tell you for a reason  :-X

but let's try - go into bios ram settings/ change to allow manual timing/ enter all timing values/ change ram voltage - save bios and see if it boots... if not relax timing and try again. the settings for 1866 has your ram manufacturer (same type ram).

I suggest if you have never done that b4 get someone around you who is comfortable doing that - this is not for noobs (not trying to insult you)
