'XMP' is an Intel name (though a lot of boards still use XMP for AMD) D.0 Profile 1 and under DRAM frequency, it automatically changed to 3600, which is what I want. Step 1: Reset Your Motherboard's BIOS.(I reseted the BIOS and I didn't tried OC ever). I've updated the mobo but my RAM still runs at 2133 Mhz according to task manager. This will test your RAM for errors four times over. If you require to run a software that is database intensive, you would achieve a faster performance by placing the data into the RAM Disk. BIOS also contains instructions that the PC uses to perform basic instructions such as whether to boot from the network or hard disk drive. I wouldn't advise setting RAM manually since it's a bit more complicated since you have to set not only speed, but timings, and voltage.
