3 Things to Know About Enabling XMP for RAM

Enable XMP in BIOS to run RAM at its advertised speed Without XMP, your RAM defaults to a slow JEDEC speed like 2133 MHz or 2400 MHz, wasting performance.

Verify the frequency in the OS after enabling XMP Use CPU-Z or Task Manager to confirm the reported speed matches what you bought. If stable, you are done.

Fix instability by lowering frequency or raising voltage slightly If you get crashes or boot loops, drop the frequency one step or increase DRAM voltage by 0.05V. Do not touch timings or other voltages unless you know what you are doing.
