Hey so I've been wanting to upgrade my PO3-600-UR18, and I've ran into an issue with the ram I chose. The ram is Corsair Vengance lpx 2666 2x8 288 pin ddr4 sdram (pc4 21300), but I've ran into an issue where I cannot get the speed to 2666 rather than its set 2133. Is there any way I can uncap it whether it be through a bios update or something (no xmp option in current bios)? Also was wondering would it be easier to just get a new mb? If so what type of motherboard is recommended? Thank you in advance for the help!

    Spec says memory: Supports DDR4 2666/2400MHz DDR4 SDRAM with Dual-channel architecture. That means the chipset will run at 2666 if al memory in the system is at least that speed, and drop to 2400 if any memory is slower. Your memory specs say it has SPD Speed of 2133MHz, so that's the speed it will run unless overclocked.

    So is there anyway to overclock it without xmp or could I enable xmp through a bios update?

    I don't believe XMP is supported, but I could be wrong. If the BIOS and hardware don't have it now I wouldn't expect them to add it.
