XMP Memory Acer Predator PH315-53

Hi all,
sorry for my poor English, since it is not my mother tongue language.

I just bought a Acer Predator PH315-53 and I tried to launch the UserBenchmark from the https://www.userbenchmark.com/ site, and I see the memory xmp is not enabled like you can see from this image:

I understood it should be enabled from BIOS, but it seems on ACER BIOS is not possible to enable the XMP profiles. Is it correct ?

If I look at the CPU-z memory and SPD tab I see:

So the memory should be able to go at 1600Mhz, is it correct ? Is there a way to modify and force the memory frequency ?
I also monitored the RAM frequency during a Cyberpunk 2077 game session, since it is a very demanding resource game, I expected to see the system to automatically use maximum frequency, but it seemd to me the freq is always at 1463Mhz.

Thanks in advance who will reply me,

Matteo

thank you @xapim, so I cannot tweak with RAM setting, but it is not clear to me if the system, when there is the need to more speed for the RAM, it will increase the speed automagically ... or the speed is always set at 1463Mhz despite the need of the games or what else are demanding more power ...

Thats correct you cant tweak your ram the dram frequency will increase and decrease up to 3200mhz+ depending on the usage/load and make sure youre in dual channel 16gb minimum

from my understanding, anything that is higher than the base speed for DDR4 (2400MHz) is already XMP enabled. as for your last picture it is saying you are using 3200MHz

Hi Netron, are you referring at the JEDEC #14 column ? or what else ? I didn't catch where you see I am already using the 3200MHz

@sid73it your bios its locked you cannot enable xmp as u already know and youre running at 3200mhz if you want ram with already built in xmp enabled get hyperx (which is the best you can get performance wise and the next best its vengeance) also you can monitor everything with hwinfo/monitor or msi AB for most

And no @netron xmp has to be enabled in the bios usually only custom desktops have the bios unlocked all OEM gaming laptops and most desktops have the bios locked to avoid user damage as many of the hidden options there could brick your device if changed to the wrong values so there are no options to enable xmp on OEM gaming laptops xmp was designed mostly for desktops enthusiasts not gaming laptops
