    its a bios profile setting.

    Go into your bios and look for ram clock speed settings. If it isnt there, you may need an unlocked bios to access the settings...

    I haven't seen anything in my bios about ram. Msi claims this computer should run at atleast 2666 but I see no way to change it

    Yes - you need to unlock bios and change Ram profile.
    I had to get Svet over on the MSI forums to make me an unlocked bios to get my 2666 Mhz ram to run at that speed.

    not official or warrantied, Post on the forum.

    you could also try the non permanent key combination from within the bios:

    alt+f2+control+shift.... from the main bios screen. Then cycle through menus you should get the extra options. Make sure you press F2 last.

    dont change anything you arent sure of or you will break laptop.... but memory profiles should be straightforward.

    To unlock the BIOS go to here for the unlock combination (The warning part):
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...trol-of-the-i7-8750h-advanced-version.823065/

    To modify the RAM profile go to here, select XMP profile instead of custom profile:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...advanced-version.823065/page-13#post-10898033

    If XMP profile isn't showing you can just select custom profile and key in the timings according to the grayed out chart on the top of the same page in BIOS.

    Xmp profile 1. I think I just got my undervolt reset by using the bios. Running a new cinebench now.
