Fixing DDR4-1867 on a Supermicro server

Hardware

If you’re refurbishing an old box that’s only detecting your DDR4-2133 or 2400 as 1867 MHz, get into the BIOS and disable POR:

  1. BIOS
  2. Advanced Tab
  3. Chipset Configuration
  4. North Bridge
  5. Memory Configuration
  6. Enforce POR → Disabled

A reboot later, and you should have the correct speed your DIMMs support.
