Your motherboard can put too much voltage into your IMC at very high RAM speeds. For example a 10900k VCCSA and VCCIO voltages can get too high. For 4200MT/s dual rank my motherboard will provide VCCIO at 1.35 volts and VCCSA at 1.5 volts. Not safe for 24/7 and forum warnings that the CPU will degrade. Even at 3600MT/s or XMP settings, volts dont need to be about 1.15 voltages. The motherboard will put VCCIO 1.25 volts and VCCSA 1.35 volts. 1.35 volts is considered too high on many forums for 24/7. So manually set volts to safe values and dont let BIOS auto set them. Do lots of research on whats safe 24/7. It can take months for a CPU to degrade, better safe than sorry.
Can xmp slow down a lower grade pc?🤔
The cpu has a memory controller which protects it from damage and will throttle if required
So its better to go i5 2500k for less but i have memory thats 1600mhz or i5 3770k but the memory is the same ? Which one to choose?
Sup with homies eyes
I’ve got this issue. Think I’ll underclock 😞 Already bought cpu & ram
No wonder I already clicked the subscribe button, I can see now you’re the brains around here.
XMP skyrockets my temps to 80c+ >.> no thanks I’ll run default cause I cant read all these abbreviations in bios
Can someone answer my question? I enabled XMP profile beyond Intel’s specifications, and the CPU crashed (I got a CPU red light) But now I reverted the changes, and my PC crashes randomly. Is it because the CPU has suffered from permanent damage? Thanks.
He’s looking quite fine post baby having
can you do a video on the different chipsets and the differences between them please

Pov: you saw Linus on an advertisement and watched the whole thing.
It doesn’t matter if you use 3200mhz memory with XMP, because a human eye can only see 256gb ssd
For some reason stupid YouTube won’t allow me to share their own video links and write a helpful caption for the audience, so check the link in reply for that overclocking policy video.
can pc damage pc?

[The Felis Catus dialect is heard]
I think it depends upon your power supply when overclocking your memory safely.
This, indeed, was a bit of a surprise recently. After enabling AMD’s flavor of xmp the system wouldn’t even boot in to the ‘bios’ anymore, that was greeeeat. In the process I learned way more about memory latency then I would have liked. Took some attempts to get it going. Later a bios update became available, with that updated it did run fine at the default ‘xmp’ profile.
Looking the qualified vendor list would have prevented this.
the only thing that can damage your cpu is intel warranty policy
I will run it max on my ram. My ram speed 3800 and my cpu it’s ryzen 7 3800xt
So if my CPU is capable of running let’s say 2666mhz RAM, what happens if I enable XMP with 3000mhz RAM installed? Or is it the potential issue of OC 2666mhz RAM to be 3000mhz or higher? Essentially I am wanting to understand if my motherboard says 2666mhz is the max then I can’t go beyond that or if I can go with higher speed RAM or OC 2666mhz to a higher speed.
Yes. My shit is stuck on a recovery loop
I can’t run my 3200 higher then 2933.
Sorry, cant get with the soy look. Go back.
What is wrong with your hands?
um… so… "Can Memory DAMAGE Your CPU?" what is the answer?
The reason they called it XMP is when it’s extreme memory profile is because EMP is electro magnetic pul… [cod flashbacks]
thank you for this video i recently got my ryzen 7 3700x and i know its dumb but i also purchusade memory at 3600 mhz because i heard ryzens go well with high speed memory and didnt know that cpu’s limit your ram and thats why it wouldnt let me go above 3200mhz
lolz thanks
Promoting a product can use something beyond it’s capabilities doesn’t mean they actually agree for you to do so … ironic but they got the point.
yeah … that would be smart if you don’t tell ‘m you broke their product because you did that when you come to them for help.
XMP on Skylake will kill the processor, more specificaly the memory controller will get damaged, how do I know? i just killed a 6600K (just like the guy on reddit you showed). The memory speed i was at is 3600MHz CL16, the PC started BSOD’ing while recording power hungry games, the culprit: the RAM OC. It literally destroyed the memory controller inside the CPU, intel is well aware of that. You won’t have this problem on newer gen intel CPUs.
What is wrong with your eyes?
Weird because my CPU was recently damaged somehow. I was downloading something and then it just started shutting off over and over again. I reset the hard drive and it worked fine up until I tried installing GPU drivers, which caused it to restart over and over again.
I had to eventually get a new CPU.

775 CPU running 2000MHz DDR3, will Intel cover me… if they would the warranty ended a long time ago.
Every processor has its maximum theoretical memory bandwidth. For example yours has 50 GBit/s. Then if you have dual channel memory, let’s calculate. 50/8=6.25GBytes/s. 6.25/2=3.125=3125 Mbytes/s. If your processors bandwith is 50, you can use 3125 memory in dual channel mode. Or 2100 memory in tripple channle mode. Everything depends on your processor. Dont initiate XMP in BIOS before calculating what I wrote above. Your system will not be stable otherwise.
the council will determine your speed
Is it the same as lying? Here is an argument that it is: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274151380_Just_go_Ahead_and_Lie
AMD not only honored the warranty on my FX 8350 in spite of bent pins even though the RMA page said it would not, but they also sent me a stock cooler even though they said they would not. But I didn’t even remember to consider what that processor’s spec was for max memory speed.
Me who uses 3200mHz RAM on a 3200mHz memory rated CPU: *I am immune.*
Telling part of the truth and not the whole truth is still a lie.
1:28 That made my ram from 3600MHz to 3200MHz real quick
I could live with it until now like that:
Mobo: 3 beeps
Me: Restart
Mobo: I will allow it (for now)
Me: I hope so
-Repeat-
and ? your eyes ?
It’s so much better them doing the ads then bloody YouTube
Don’t tell Intel ^^
I was about to boost my ram above my CPU’s spec memory. Thnx for saving me.
utter bullshit video 0 problems running corsair vengeance 1600mhz 16gb @ 2400 mhz 1.65v with a 4770k which is rated @1333/1600mhz ram speed
I’m experiencing something weird. I just built myself a 2700X + Gigabyte B450M Aorus Elite + Teamgroup dual channel (2×8) DDR4-3600. Placed the DIMMs in slots 2 and 4. Memtest86 fails at 3200MT/s and above using XMP timings. Switched the DIMMs to slots 1 and 3, got even more errors at 3200. Switched back to slots 2 and 4 and now Memtest86 passes 3200 twice already. Ok why is it suddenly running well now?? 3600 is still failing but I think it’s because of the memory controller and not the DIMMs.
How does one lie with diagnostic data?
Look in the QVL lists of the mainboard and the RAM on the respective websites to check whether or not the RAM speed is supported. For example, Z170 only goes up to 3466 MHz.
