How to optimize my memory?

[vital]

I have the Intel NUC NUC8i7HVK and it says it supports DDR4-2400+ 1.2V SO-DIMM. I installed 2x16GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000Mhz SO-DIMM but it's running at 2400Mhz. What settings do I need to change in the bios to configure the memory to run at 3000Mhz?

I'm not sure if that model of NUC even supports running memory @3000Mhz at all. Are Intel's NUCs capable of being overclocked?

Yes, the NUC8i7HVK is unlocked for overclocking. I think I need to change the XMP profile or something

I stand corrected then. It does sound like you will need to adjust the XMP profile, but I'm not an expert on overclocking.

Did it RAM end up working well? Have read about G.Skill requiring a visit to BIOS in order to enable XMP and possible set timings. Moreover, heard from a Hades owner that he wasn't able to get the timings right (on G.Skill 3000 RAM).

I'm getting this NUC soon and (wanting to maximize 1440p gaming without overclocking CPU&GPU because of the excessive noise it would make) and choosing the RAM is giving me headaches. Could get Crucial value RAM (2400) for 110 euros but it'd be only 30-50 euros more for this G.Skill (which has great specs) or for HyperX 3200. I'm told the sweet spot is currently at 2800-3000.

Change the memory configuration in bios and set it to XPM.
