Aspire A515-43-R19L 16GB RAM that actually runs at 2666MHz?

Hey,

Got the A515-43-R19L last week (great laptop!) however i'm having an issue with memory upgrades;
It came with a 2666 Micron stick that actually runs at 2666, since then i've replaced that stick with a Hynix 2666 16gb kit which sadly only runs at 2400.
Went back to the store and replaced that Hynix kit with a Samsung one, also 2666, which also doesn't run at 2666, but 2400.
If i put back the 4gig stick it originally came with - runs fine at 2666, but no other memory that i've tried will run at that speed.

Which brings me here, is anyone using it with a 16gig 2666kit that is actually reported as 2666 in task manager?
If so, please post the brand+model or amazon link or something. thanks!

Hello,

Strange because the memory specification of this processor is 2400 MHz maximum. The Acer specification also gives 2400 MHz:

You should check the frequency of the 4GB memory module with CPU-Z.
