How to Enable XMP Memory Speed

What Does Enabling XMP Do?
RAM runs at speeds dictated by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) as standard,
but you can manually overclock your RAM. XMP uses some RAM storage to save a profile for speed and timing that the RAM can safely run.
Enabling XMP configures the memory to run at the speed and timings for which it’s rated.


Step1: XMP can be enabled by heading into your motherboard’s BIOS. To do so, reboot your PC and wait for the splash screen to appear,
which is usually a logo or some sort of graphics of your motherboard manufacturer.
At the bottom, there should be instructions on how to enter the BIOS which is usually done by pressing typical access keys include Del, F2, and F10, though yours may vary. You may check your motherboard’s manual or the manufacturer’s website for details.



Step 2: Once you have entered the BIOS, you need to look for XMP. Certain motherboard BIOS will have an Easy Mode that highlights only the most frequently accessed settings. Thus, you may need to enable Advanced Mode to get access to the XMP settings.



Step 3: In our case, the Gigabyte Z590i Vision motherboard BIOS highlights XMP right on the main screen. We can quickly enable XMP from here or turn on Advanced Mode of the BIOS to access additional XMP settings.
Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards usually have XMP settings under the Tweaker or Extreme Tweaker tab.



Step 4: Select XMP which should give you the option to enable Profile 1 (which is the one we need) or disable XMP.
Certain memory kits offer more than one profile, thus giving some more flexibility.



Step 5: Once you have selected the profile you want, preferably with the highest speeds, go back to the main BIOS screen and look for the option to save and exit BIOS. You should now have XMP enabled with the memory running at the desired maximum speed.
Make sure you go back into the Task Manager to see if the revised memory clock speeds.
