Do I need to reset the BIOS when installing new RAM?

Mostly, no — the system will auto-detect the new sticks and run them at default speeds (usually 2133MHz or 2400MHz). No BIOS reset needed. The catch: if you want the RAM to actually run at its rated speed (say, 3200MHz or 3600MHz), you’ll need to enable XMP (Intel) or DOCP (AMD) in the BIOS. That’s one setting, not a full reset.
