- After buying/installing new RAM into your computer it's important to know how to enable your RAM's XMP profile (eXtreme Memory Profile) otherwise you'll be missing out on performance you paid good money for. This video is designed to teach those new to PC DIY what an XMP profile is, why you want to enable your RAM's XMP profile and how to do it. It's actually a very easy thing to do but when you've never done it before I understand how it can seem a little intimidating. I hope to set you mind at ease by saying there's nothing to worry about; as you follow along with this guide you'll be able to easily get your RAM's XMP profile enabled and have your new RAM running at full speed in no time.

"lay mans terms" 😆 It's laymens terms
Does dell G15 i5 11260H 11 gen support xmp( kingston 3200 mhz ram)
Just earned a follower. No bullshit, you tell us where to skip to in order for us to know what we came here for- you’re the true MVP. Thank you.
Saw some random post on Twitter saying to turn on an XMP profile, looked it up, found your video, changed my life. Thank you very much ♥
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. 🙂
@@Maraksot78can I please get some help?
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.
Fr pc geeks are always blabbering but never give you the answer to the question you asked
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!!
Same! 😅
I new to pc tech and really appreciate you taking time to explain all this stuff. Looking forward to learning more on your channel. Happy Holidays!
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.
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 !!!
If you enable XMP, you can ruin your processor alongwith warranty.
@Ramu Ji i already forgot what was this thing all about lol, dot.even remember making this comment
@@byeebyte is your pc still runin lol ?
Tried reading about this and it was so convoluted. This made so much more sense, thank you!
I've Never heard of such simple explanations, which explain overly complicated topics in such a concise manner. Preposterous! 😁
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.
You're welcome. Happy to hear the video answered your questions and helped you out. :)
@@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.
@@Maraksot78 Is it possible tp enable XMP profile on a omen bio?
Man, I gotta say, you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the simplicity! Fantastic video man.
Loved this.. it helped me set my ddr5 ram to 5600 mhz which was originally running at 4000 mhz. Great content. You earned a subscriber 👍
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. 👍🏼
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!
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!
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!
I had an AMD Asus board for 8 years and I didn't have a clue what DOCP was. I just tried to manually set it. 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
Mine still says 2400mhz after I enabled xmp but I wasn't sure if I have to change "dram frequency" or not
NO DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE, just change what he said in the video, I had to try mine twice because it just didn't save or something the first time
Thank you very much for this video. As mentioned in many comments, very clear and straight to the point. Much appreciated.
I was today years old when I learned about XMP... Thank you for an awesome video, it helped a lot!
Straight to the point and clear. Very helpful video. Thanks!
Great easy to follow video. Thanks for taking the time to make it, really helped me out!
This is exactly what I was looking for over a month now..thanks a lot dude u made my day👍
Wow... I've been only using half my ram speed for almost 2 years now and didn't know till now. Thanks for the very helpful information! :)
Clear explanations, no unnecessary chitchat or annoying . Excellent video!
This guy is brilliant, very straight to content.
Dude, I thought you were going to have way more subs for this A+ content. Super underrated!Thank you!
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
"Thats why its X-TREME instead of just 'extreme'" idk why that killed me but it did 😂
Love the video and all the details and information. thank you!
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.
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.
Great to hear!
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
OMG same!!! I was running my 3200 memory at 2133 since 2019!!!
Got this in my recommendation at the right time as i just finished building my first pc. Thanks this was very helpful
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.
Just bought new ram recently and didn't really understand xmp. Thank you man.
Doing my first pc build and this was very helpful. Very straightforward in the description and demonstration of how to change xmp. Thank you!
If you enable XMP, you can ruin your processor alongwith warranty.
Bro...your channel is great, u should have 2 mill subs!
One of the most helpful videos I’ve ever come across! Keep it up bro
You just gave me a huge performance boost on cpu intense games. Thank you so much
You just earned a subscriber thank you for keeping it simple for us newbies 🙏
You're welcome. :)
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.
Amazing video extremely well understood.
I was running 2133mhz while my ram support 3200mhz for so many years
Man, just found you randomly but learned so much. THANK YOU! liked and subscribed, Good health!
Wow, this was awesome. Straight to the point and time stamps so no time wasting. You're a legend. Thank you.
If you enable XMP, you can ruin your processor alongwith warranty.
This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much! The bit at 1:12 killed me lmao!
The perfect yt video, useful information at the start to understand why, then straight to the point on how
Thank you. I understand the XMP process now. You are the best.
When he explained the initial E and X and suddenly it goes BOOM , in the midst of bursting in laugh, i scroll down and hit the subs . Love it!
Always had confusion about this, but not any more. Thank you Sir, a great topic selected.
Omg I've been scared to over clock my ram, thank you so much!!! You now have a life long fan and subscriber, and if you have merch please let me know!!!! Thank you!!!!
Bloomin eck. Im VERY late to the party and never bothered with the XMP but just swtiched it on - what a difference that made ! Thank you so much fella
subbed while I was at it too :) Cheers - now to catch up on the rest of the videos you have made
I really like your videos .. they're to the point, and fun to watch .. thanks - hope you grow big
Using the X in extreme to name it X.M.P. is also a good idea because people would get nervous if it was called E.M.P.
thanks for the advice i will now get a Ryzen 7 thank you and i hope you have a good new year and all your viewers all the best and thanks again
This video helped me a lot! Can't describe how much good that was. Thanks!
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.

This man is a living humble man, I am astonished you haven’t reached 1 million subs.
He will
This is great, informational, to the point, and you have good humor. Great video friend.
This video was great! I've never done anything like this before but it was incredibly easy just following the steps
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.
Great video
Amazing video directly explaining what is XMP and how to use it. I found it extremely useful!
Thank you very much for this detailed - yet simple - tutorial. Everywhere else I looked, people kept over complicating the process.
You're welcome! 🙂
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!
If you enable XMP, you can ruin your processor alongwith warranty.
For those with MAG B460m Mortar Wifi motherboard or similar, on the top left you should see "cpu", "xmp profile 1", and "xmp profile 2". Just make sure the profile 1 is highlighted red by clicking on it. Additionally if you go to the "OC" settings tab on the left then go to "Extreme Memory Profile (XMP), you can enabled it from there.
If you enable XMP, you can ruin your processor alongwith warranty.
A+++ Video. You help me understand what xmp is in seconds. Lots of useful information
Thank you so much u helped me out a ton, came from Jerian

That looked like advanced technology to me but with those infos, I think that I will give it a try. Good luck to me.
It work out for ya?
Yes sir I did. And it work work work work 👍🏽
My computer is restarting after some hours of gameplay. A technician advised me to do this stuff and try again. Thanks for the video. Lets try it
Thanks bro i just finished my pc and i learned some more things with letting my ram go full potential
Glad I could help. 🙂
Just discovered you, awesome channel man! Helped me out much
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
I know this is a old comment but I just turned on xmp and my ram is 3200 do you think I should still look into changing the voltage?
This is what i call a REAL INFORMATIVE VIDEO !!! Dude ur awesome. TKS
Can't believe this is a thing. I had NO idea. Thanks for the video!
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
Great vid, keep it up!
Thanks man. This was super helpful.
dang this is about as revolutionary as when I found out I had to enable a higher refresh rate in my monitor, thank you so much
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?
If you enable XMP, you can ruin your processor alongwith warranty.
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.
Awesome. Last PC I built was a 486dx2 running win95 OSR2. All of this is new to me.
Oh my god, I f*cking love you man. Didn't find a better straightforward information. Keep the good work!
Glad to know the video was helpful to you! :)
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...
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 Awesome, thank you for taking the time to explain it!!
@@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.
Great explanation of XMP, just hit subscribe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Great video, man. Really easy to understand. Thank you.
I came from watching a video XD
It was about upgrading your CPU
thankyou! I built my pc a year ago and had 3000mhz ram running at 2133mhz this whole time, lol.
Thank you dude. Glad I double checked. I was at 2133 after re installing ram during psu and GPU upgrade
THANK YOUUUUUU, I tried multiple different videos but only yours helped my 🙏
There is no option for ai overclock tuner on my asus motherboard. Can someone please help me?
same if u find a solution plss tell me too
May the god of rams bless you with this wonderful knowledge ;)
First time PC builder. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
YOU ARE THE GOAT YOU DID MULTIPLE BIOS MENUS OMG
All xmp profiles are just specifically tested and stable Manufacturer built Known Good Overclock profile's. Just to help clarify to help out a bit
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
@@Glitchy24 my cpu R3 3200 g supports 2933 and I clocked it to 2933 good enough now or should keep it 2900 or 2800 mhz for more stability?
1:21 LMAOO so true! 🤣🤣
Thank you so much bro you had my exact gigabyte auros bios. Thank you for not getting all technical and confusing with it
Sooo useful. You have really helped me understand the XMP. Thank you.
the alternative would be to call it EMP and that is the greatest enemy of electronic devices
