Hello, I'm exploring ways to optimize my PC's performance. Recently, I discovered information about RAM and XMP settings. My current setup is a HyperX Fury DDR4 3200MHz 16GB (2x8GB), but it doesn't seem to be reaching that speed. After checking the BIOS, I found XMP disabled, so I tried using "Profile 1" and "Profile 2" options. The results were displayed via CPU-Z. Can I safely increase the speed to 3200MHz? Would this improve performance in games or other tasks? If not, should I skip XMP altogether? Here are my details: Motherboard model Gigabyte H370 Aorus Gaming, CPU i7-9700K. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Choose profile 2, adjust the frequency to 3200, and test its performance.

You're welcome! It sounds like the issue might be related to your H370 chipset. Your motherboard could indeed have a maximum clock speed limit around 2666MHz, which might restrict overclocking. Check the specifications for your specific model to confirm.
