You're curious about how your system behaves with XMP and ACE settings. It sounds like you're trying to optimize performance, but there might be some differences between the two options. The fact that your CPU hits higher speeds when both are enabled suggests a possible interaction or limitation on your motherboard. You mentioned the BIOS doesn't mention boosting beyond 4.5 GHz, which could mean it's capped by hardware limits. Checking the motherboard manual or contacting support might help clarify why the boost isn't reaching those numbers.
