So, you're trying to shop for RAM and there's all these terms CL10 1333 MHz

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.280
1.65 volts.

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:14.960
All that stuff just needs to go away because we're going to tell you how XMP

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:18.960
makes your life a lot easier if you're using an Intel platform. Now, you can

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:24.480
buy the highest performance memory in the world, but by default, motherboards

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:27.039
will set it to a safe setting, a safe

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.720
profile that is guaranteed to boot by default. This is to ensure that you get

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.000
an opportunity to go into the motherboard BIOS and reconfigure things

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.920
manually if you need to because if it just doesn't turn on at all, then it's no good to anyone. However, once you're

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.600
in there, if you want to set it to run at its proper speed, at the rated

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.920
speeds, you can either dial everything in manually the way we used to, or you

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:52.399
can just set up an XMP profile. Most high performance memory comes with at

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:56.559
least one XMPP profile, sometimes two. And as long as your motherboard supports

00:00:53.920 --> 00:01:01.280
XMPP, which most of the performance grade Intel motherboards do, then it's

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.600
as simple as dialing it in and all those settings are done for you. Within the

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:09.360
UEFI of your motherboard or the BIOS, it's usually very simple to find the

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.479
XMPP settings. But if you're not sure, you can always consult your manual. So,

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.479
it might be called extreme memory profile or XMP or memory profile. And

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.159
then you'll be able to scroll through something that'll say auto or and then

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.759
like profile one and profile two. and it'll actually give you a preview of

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.840
what it's going to run at before you press F10 to commit the changes and

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.400
reboot the computer. But the one thing to note about XMPP is

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:36.799
that if you fully populate all of the module slots on your motherboard, your

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:42.320
XMPP profiles might not be fine-tuned for that unless you buy a multi-dim kit.

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:47.040
So on this motherboard, for example, if we bought two two stickked kits and ran

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.840
it in XMPP, it might not work. Whereas if we bought one four stick kit, it

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:54.960
would be guaranteed to work. As always guys, don't forget to subscribe to
