Evaluating XMP RAM performance
Memtest86 consistently shows the original speed, but it verifies XMP settings when enabled in BIOS. The best tool for you relies on your system and goals. Memtest86 works well generally, though high-end Intel 13th-gen chips with fast caches can be tough to pass with VST.
I run on Z690 platform and need to thoroughly test the RAM. At first it triggered errors, but after installation it stabilized without issues. This led me to question the RAM's condition.
