>if you build yourself you always should be enabling it. Absolutely not. This is such a terrible advice I would think you were trolling if I didn't assume better of you. An end-user should not engage in any overclocking, XMP/EXPO included, without thorough knowledge and understanding of what they're getting into. You are literally driving your hardware above and beyond official, published specifications. And no, marketing is not "official, published specifications". |

That is not the case if we talk RAM. It is sold as 6000MHz, it is tested as 6000MHz and it is validated to run at 6000MHz. And there is a standard each developed by both Intel and AMD to allow RAM to ran at it's rated speed. It isn't just marketing. The problem is, that this standard entails going out of spec on the CPU side, where it does mean going beyond validated limits. But the consumer shouldn't have to dig to understand, that these standard designed to make your RAM run at it's rated speed technically means pushing limits.
