This video literally answered every question I've had about RAM since I built my first system a few years ago. I pretty blown away that it was all this easy the whole time, and nobody else I've found has given such a simple straightforward explanation. Great video.
Fantastic..I have been trying to educate Myself so I can help/teach my son on his first gaming pc we just got. This is exactly the kind of video/presenter I need. Thanks!!
You are incredibly underrated, everyone else’s tutorials expect you to already know what you’re doing. This makes it as straight forward as can be. Upgraded to 3200mhz and was too confused with everything else I was seeing online and didn’t want to mess with anything. Your tutorial gave me the confidence to get it done easy
It appears you're not the only one to see that random Twitter post. This video was averaging about 700 views per day and then all of a sudden yesterday it got over 12,000 views! That's only a 1700% increase from one day to the next. 😅 Thanks for checking out the video though. Happy to hear it helped. Enjoy. 🙂
Just upgraded my ram today and didnt even know this was a thing! Easy instructions and was done in a few minutes, now im getting the full potential of my 3600 ram! thank you kind sir!
Thanks! I was running it at 2133 for 3 years. Now it's at 3200. Also for those who can't find or enable it on your Aorus motherboard, go to Advanced mode (F2), go to the M.I.T. tab, and open Advanced Memory Setting
Dude, this is one of the best and the most explained video I've ever seen. No unnecessary information no click bait or any annoying behavior. I this 10 mins not only i could focus also I've learned every single thing about rams now applying for jobs in AMD. Thank you man , subscribed !!!
Thank you. I was having my pc cleaned at the shop, didnt know what they did but it came back slower. Games were dropping hard on fps and I thought I was going crazy. Turned the xmp on, RAM speed went from 800 to 2667 and everything returns to the way it was.
Thank you! It has been 6 years since I built a new rig and all this technology came around while I wasn't paying attention. I completely understand XMP profiles now! I really appreciate how you explained it all.
@@Maraksot78 What difference between DOCP and set same settings manually? ASUS X470F M/B I had DOCP but had issues with Cyperpunk crashing when RT is on. I set timing manually same as DOCP, reduced speed from 3200 to 3000, same voltage as docp. No more crashing.
Worth knowing as well... 11th gen intel chips are only rated for RAM speeds up to 3200MHz... anything over that can and most likely will cause instability issues, especially when gaming... even if your RAM is Rated for higher speeds, it does not matter. Do however enable XMP to get to the max supported speed of 3200MHz with a Intel chip! EDIT: When I first enabled XMP it automatically switched my RAM speed to the rated RAM speed of 3600MHz even though my I7-11700K chip is only rated for speed up to 3200MHz. So I had to manually switch it from 3600MHz to 3200MHz. I tried running it at 3600MHz and it worked but I eventually ran into crashing issues while gaming. When I dropped it back down to 3200MHz I was good to go.
Brilliant video. Userbench told me to enable XMP. I couldn't find it in my Bios - much confusion. Your explanation is gold. Keep up the good work, your videos are super informative for a noob like me, as well as being very enjoyable to watch. I love your style.
hey thank you for this video. After 4-5 months of building my 1st PC, I am finally able to use all of it's 6400 MHz of ram after watching this video. Before this, my PC would crash, and stuck in boot page whenever I tried to tweak the RAM spec from it 4800 MHz.
Thank you so much my man, I was using 2400 the whole time until youtube recommended this video to me my ram performance is now twice as fast! You are the GOAT
Wow dude. Thanks for this. A friend of mine that helped me build my PC told me CPU-Z was "bugged" when I was questioning why the ram wasn't running at the advertised 3200. This video seriously helped me get what I paid for. Thank you. Seriously.
Straight to the point, very nice. Bought a pre-built pc the other week since there's a worldwide shortage of certain parts atm. Originally I was going to get a 5600x and skimp on everything else until I noticed the store only had these ancient graphics cards so I got the pre-built since it had a newer card. Other than the graphics card and processor I never paid attention to anything else until tonight when I took a lot at it with that CPU-Z thing and noticed the ram was running at 1100whatver (2400). After watching this video I just brought it up 3200 now. Don't notice any difference in the game I'm playing (Genshin Impact) but, hey, at least the ram is faster now, lol. Thanks man.
Here via the RAM video. I haven't had a new PC in 11 years (to be fair, it's an email machine pretty much), and your videos have made my life so much easier! Thank you.
Omg dude. This is possibly the most straightforward informative video I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Seriously has just explained everything just perfectly. Thank you so much. You deffo just got a new sub. 👍🏼
Dude this was the easiest mist chill explanation I've ever heard. Haven't been in the pc game in awhile but you've helped alot more then you think keep going man!
Wow Ive been building PCs for years with my pops, and I had to show him this video. We had no idea about the xmp profile. Always thought the ram was automatically set at its advertised speeds. Thank you for this video.
Make sure to set VCCIO and system agent to 1.2V when you turn on XMP especially for 3600mhz and higher. Because the motherboards will push these voltages to 1.45v which is very unsafe and can shorten your CPU lifespan. Idk no one is talking about this when they turn on XMP
Why, when I was a kid, we had to overclock manually, sometimes we had to tape a clock to the ram just to see a slight improvement! Jokes aside, Thanks for the info! I didn't know they've made it so easy now!
Great info! Doesn't work for me, unfortunately. My RAM (Corsair Vengeance LPX) says it goes up to 3200 MHz and my motherboard (Gigabyte B450M DS3H) goes up to 3200 MHz but when I overclocked it (XMP profile), my PC wouldn't boot and I had to reset my BIOS.
What if it exceeds the cpu supported ram frequency and bro does it cause over hearing of cpu because certain voltages increase once you enable xmp ... I am completely new to this so help me
@@varinder.s497 no instead, the CPU will limit you to it's Max Capable sets of Factory built frequencies. Like i7 7600 non-k sku's are Locked at up 2400mhz I wanna say. Your CPU dictates your speeds
Hey Mark, good job with this video. It really helped me understand RAM better. I'm hoping to pair 3800Mhz CL 14 with the 5950x. Though I'm worried that default voltage being to high (1.45v) will be a problem...should I be concerned and maybe start considering lower voltage? Thanks again!
How does this man only have 46k subs?? So well explained. English isent my first language, so not speaking to fast like all other channels are so perfect for me! Well done! Good vid!
Great video, thank you! If I enabled the XMP, the CPU shouldn't change its speed, right? I'm asking this because I thought that by enabling that feature, it could trigger the CPU to run at full speed all the time, and I'd like it to run slower when I'm not doing anything. I'm planning on buying this 10850k+3600RAM+Z490-E Gaming if that helps. Thank you!!
No, enabling XMP does not overclock the CPU's operating frequency. Since enabling XMP does 'overclock' your RAM it will also be overclocking the memory controller which is built into your CPU. So in that regard I guess you could technically say it does kind of overclock your CPU but in the sense of it increases your CPU's core frequency (which is what most people think of when they talk about overclocking their CPU); No, it does not do that.
@@Maraksot78 my asus Z590-E motherboard wifi 6E calls it xmp and not docp. Which I find strange, but with your video I somewhat understand now. I am running with the motherboard a intel i9 11900k the ram is 64gb 4400 speed.
@@mortal1501 yah, Asus only calls it DOCP on AMD motherboards. Since your board is Intel and XMP is technically an Intel technology they call it XMP on their Intel motherboards.
hmm, Whenever I go to the advanced settings thru reset on my MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, it doesn’t give me the option to go to bios from there ? What could be the problem
Dude... before watching your video I was terrified of the bios settings... now I feel like I can do it. I'm not sure if the intel lga 2011 mobo will work the same but hey... I'm not scared...
Thanks for making this video! It's been a long while since I last had a custom workstation/PC. Thanks to my new job, my company provided a budget to get a rather nice build. Over the last few days, I've been researching how to maximize the value/potential of what I've paid for, to get the most out of what my company has paid (for me). Quick question, when we enable the XMP profile for our RAM (I will have a 2x 32GB Viper Steel Series RGB 3600MHz ram [Total: 64GB]), will it have an effect on the ram's lifespan?

I used to manually OC my RAM and CPU to get that tiny bit extra power but it comes at the cost of stability and needing ever more increasing amounts of voltage. I got to the point where I was running my RAM at 1.4v 247 and my CPU curve was negative 10 just for an extra 200mhz. Decided to just delete all that, leave the CPU OC on auto and enable XMP and now my system is 100 percent stable at all times, 20c cooler and so reliable it will never hang or stutter or crash. That's what's important to me now and so I really appreciate manufacturers giving us XMP profiles. I was getting 5.2ghz out of my Ryzen 5 5600x and now I get 4.8ghz. You know what difference that makes in my games? 1-2fps.
Love the Video man great job on trying to explain everything even to the people who dont really no what ram is. I was scared about entering the BIOS and trying to get the most out of my ram as i didnt want to cause any problems with the PC. Great job again.
son of a gun!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, I FEEL LIKE IM A PC GENIUS NOW LOL..sorry had caps on...worked and my pc is now running good and propa, def see difference, so thank you
@@titorivera9596 maybe. However, since reading this, it seems gamers always turn this on, and usually have a decent airflow system. I can see why it might not matter in an office environment say
