xmp on while overclocking?
Yes, it is generally acceptable to keep XMP enabled while overclocking your i5 7600K on an ASUS Maximus 8 Hero motherboard.
It's fine. I just shared that link to illustrate high voltage examples. As long as you have a solid cooler, you'll reach an overclock limit much earlier than temperature constraints. Refer to the guide in my sig for safe voltage and temperature ranges.
It's acceptable since XMP allows higher temperatures because the memory controller resides on the CPU. Superior RAM speeds generally offset any drawbacks regarding heat, provided adequate cooling is maintained. Nearly every overclocking test uses XMP enabled.
Standard DDR4 operates at 1.2v, faster variants reach 1.35v and top models can hit 1.5v. Increased voltage generates more heat.
It's acceptable. XMP may raise temperatures since the memory controller resides on the CPU. Better RAM performance usually compensates for any heat increase. As long as proper cooling is available, everything should be okay. Most overclocking tests use XMP activated.
Standard DDR4 runs at 1.2v, faster variants reach 1.35v and top kits up to 1.5v. Higher voltage generates more heat.

The RAM I have is Corsair DDR4 3000 MHz RGB.
