you might notice that when you first install your RAM and boot to your system’s BIOS, the RAM is running at its standard speed (2133MHz/2400MHz in the case of DDR4 memory). Why does memory initially run at this
If the existing speeds are lower than the claimed maximum speed of your RAM kit, it means that you need to enable XMP. For instance, we are running a pair of Geil 8GB DDR4 memory modules that are claimed to run at a maximum clock speed of 3200MHz. However, they are running at 2133...
XMP effectively overclocks your memory, allowing it to run at speeds higher than what some processors are officially rated to handle.
XMP is a technology developed by Intel for both DDR3 and DDR4 RAM to squeeze more performance out of your memory. (You’ll also see the option on AMD motherboards.) Once you enable XMP, your motherboard detects the RAM’s optimal settings, and automatically applies the changes. It’s ...
It's designed to push your RAM performance beyond the standard XMP profiles (XMP I and XMP II) by adjusting sub-timings and other memory parameters.How to Enable XMP Tweaked:1. Access the BIOS:Restart your computer and press the designated key (usually Del or F2) during startup to enter...
baseline of your RAM. This allows you to see how the memory is currently performing, which will also help you understand how much of a performance improvement the overclocking process has made. Once you have discovered the RAM’s baseline capabilities, the next step is to look at using XMP....

Let's look at a few ways in which you can speed up or optimize the RAM in your system to improve its performance.
If all of the testing has resulted in success and your RAM OC is indeed stable you might want to know what exactly improved. A quick way to do this is to run AIDA64 (free trial) memory benchmarks with the stock RAM XMP profile and with the overclocked timings/sub-timings applied. This...
