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.

Hey,
This is from another thread on the same laptop:

regardless of what the specs say, it can run memory at 2666,
the ram picker at crucial.com also suggests 2666 ram, it is also the most frequently bought item together with that laptop.
however before buying that or any other similar kit id'e like to know for certain that it does operate at 2666, i'm sure someone on this forum has that laptop with a ram ki
