XMP, OCing, etc.

I enabled XMP but never OC'd the CPU. Will this change anything? It seems unclear if I need to OC the CPU before turning on XMP, or if it just speeds up memory performance.

Which processor? Which RAM package? Which system board?

they represent distinct figures, and whether one slows down depends entirely on the activity you're performing

You're playing the game, not focusing much on tests or anything else.

XMP won't cause any damage, yet the 8700K won't gain much from it either. Boosting an 8700K is beneficial, offering notable speed improvements, particularly under heavy multi-core tasks. It's not essential for the system to function smoothly or reliably.

What games are available? The system has some variations in mind.
