    Hello
    Im glad i found this place were people seem the have the same laptop as me. I bought mine from HID Evolution with 10700k and 3080. The RAM i have is Gskill 3200 but the cas latency is 22. HID said the Prema Bios has no ETA to release and there is basically nothing in the standard BIOS which is disappointing to say the least. Gskill does make a pair of sticks with ram 3200 with CL 16 but if i cant change to use the XMP profile in the BIOS it would be useless to buy them. Unless it automatically selects the right timings ? I play battlefield 5 and i do notice the game running little slugish vs my 9900k system with ram same speed but CL 16. Anyone have the same experiance ?

    Not that i can see. I know some motherboards like my Maximus XI have software to adfjust timings. I can only hope when Prema bios is released they have some type of xmp profile option. The stock clevo bios is limited. Thanks for the reply

    Then you would need something set by SPD rather than XMP.
