Ram compatibility
Ram compatibility
Checking the specs for your setup. The CPU and memory you're using support DDR4-2133, not the newer 3600 MHz. Enabling XMPP might be safe for older hardware, but it's better to confirm compatibility before proceeding.
Is this really the case? Are you certain? My CPU failed about a month after installing two 3600 sticks and setting XMPP to run at 3600 instead of the automatic BIOS choice of 2400. It stopped when I let the PC run all night. I don’t know what caused it, but since I realized I was using unsupported RAM speeds, I thought I damaged the CPU memory controller—the part that manages communication between the processor and RAM.
It's hard to determine what occurred then, though there are numerous checks and safeguards in place. Contemporary CPUs can defend against most threats, provided you avoid reckless actions. Unless you overload the system with excessive voltage or use low-quality parts, damage is unlikely. Generally, handling components responsibly is key—simply applying XMP profiles won't harm your CPU unless something goes wrong. In the worst case, it might fail to boot entirely.
