cpu: i7 7700k
mobo: Asus Maximus IX formula
when turning on XMP in the bios I see an option to apply all core enhancement. If I plan to adjust my CPU clock and voltage manually, should I still confirm? With the motherboard set to its default settings, my CPU runs at 4521mhz; with XMP and core enhancement enabled it's at 4500mhz, but without them it drops to 4400mhz.

In your bios navigate to xmp where two profiles are available, click on profile 1 and ensure xmp is activated... For the CPU adjust the turbo clock and activate it... To achieve the full 4.5ghz clock for your i7

Hi, thanks for replying I've decided i want to oc my cpu to 4.8ghz. but also want to run xmp. so will there be any benefit in clicking yes on the multi core enhancement option? or does manually setting your clock and voltage override it?

Click on the multicore improvement... Occasionally if you adjust your own clocks, you might cause some issues.... And yes, there will be a significant advantage.
