XMP configuration for Intel I7-8700 without K variant
Activate XMP and proceed to download the Prime95 version 26.6. You wish this particular build to avoid stressing your CPU excessively. Choose the test blend when prompted about the desired test. To verify memory stability, allow it to run for a minimum of 8 hours. This isn't necessarily the most critical step, but I strongly believe in being extra cautious about stability before overclocking. Remember, XMP functions as an overclock, and any speed beyond the CPU's supported rate counts as another overclock. With these considerations in mind, you should achieve a solid and reliable RAM overclock that could slightly boost performance.
