my specifications are
cpu: i7 870
mobo: asus p7h55
ram: 2x4gb dominator platinums
yesterday i acquired 2x4gb dominator platinums rated at 2400mhz, which they claim are xmp compatible. when xmp is disabled they operated at 1333mh but when i enable xmp my cpu increases from 2.93 to 3.12 and maintains that speed even when idle, with usage at idle averaging 5-10%. Is it acceptable to let it run only at 3.12?

The motherboard indicates a maximum speed of 2200mhz. If you're not experiencing problems, it's unlikely the CPU will run faster unless temperatures become excessive.

bmockeg :
Your motherboard states max speed supported is 2200mhz. Otherwise I don't see any issues with the CPU operating at a slightly higher frequency unless the temperatures are getting out of hand.
No my temps are 35 at idle with my water cooler.So turning on the xmp feature is okay even with the cpu being constantly at max frequency ?.Also another question is how do i know after enabling xmp that the ram is running at 2200mhz

There is a hardware monitoring tool like CPU-Z. XMP functions as an overclocking method.

You require a hardware monitoring tool like CPU-Z. XMP functions as an overclocking method. Yes, and regarding memory locations, you should check there.

The test will display a performance rate on the main screen
Can your CPU manage 2200MHz?
