So, you're trying to shop for RAM and there's all these terms CL10 1333 MHz
1.65 volts.
All that stuff just needs to go away because we're going to tell you how XMP
makes your life a lot easier if you're using an Intel platform. Now, you can
buy the highest performance memory in the world, but by default, motherboards
will set it to a safe setting, a safe
profile that is guaranteed to boot by default. This is to ensure that you get
an opportunity to go into the motherboard BIOS and reconfigure things
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
in there, if you want to set it to run at its proper speed, at the rated
speeds, you can either dial everything in manually the way we used to, or you
can just set up an XMP profile. Most high performance memory comes with at
least one XMPP profile, sometimes two. And as long as your motherboard supports
XMPP, which most of the performance grade Intel motherboards do, then it's
as simple as dialing it in and all those settings are done for you. Within the
UEFI of your motherboard or the BIOS, it's usually very simple to find the
XMPP settings. But if you're not sure, you can always consult your manual. So,
it might be called extreme memory profile or XMP or memory profile. And
then you'll be able to scroll through something that'll say auto or and then
like profile one and profile two. and it'll actually give you a preview of
what it's going to run at before you press F10 to commit the changes and
reboot the computer. But the one thing to note about XMPP is
that if you fully populate all of the module slots on your motherboard, your
XMPP profiles might not be fine-tuned for that unless you buy a multi-dim kit.
So on this motherboard, for example, if we bought two two stickked kits and ran
it in XMPP, it might not work. Whereas if we bought one four stick kit, it
would be guaranteed to work. As always guys, don't forget to subscribe to
