   You are running a very old version of the BIOS... 

Its pretty likely that updating will have better compatibility with your memory.

	Now this is clear let's try to get to the issue you have with the game! perhaps it will work better when you set XMP to 'on' and 'load all settings' in bios, this will mean the memory gets faster and some voltages are increased, so if it works it's usually the best option to just go by those settings.

	The SPD-Tab is just showing the capabilities, not the current speed, that is shown on the memory tab. So it looks like the memory is running at about 2000 MHz, equaling ddr4000. If you where at XMP speed the memory tab would read about 3200 MHz.

	Hi! I was referring (perhaps incorrectly) to a CPU-Z report which seems to say that XMP 3.0 is enabled. Any settings are out of the box - I haven't made any changes to BIOS.

	btw. if you mean the memory monitor in bios, you got to save and exit first before the settings take effect, then re-enter bios to see the actual speed.
