You mean that overclocking is useless for gaming?
Even for games like watchdogs?

Thank you for your answer!

And, yes for XMP. It just helps to install the RAM on intel, am i right?

Ok, ty for the answer but to be sure, you mean my mothercard for "mobo", right?

I also heard that the maximum frequency was pretty random depending on the processor you get from intel, I mean that it can change even with the same model. Is it true?
 


I've never heard of a "mothercard". What I meant was mobo = motherboard.

Yes, results can vary widely based on the quality of your particular chip. Also known as the "Silicon Lottery".

Noo, I mean overclocking is not -required- for gaming. Faster is better whether you can utilize the greater speed or not. You won't hate your computer because it is not overclocked, but I'm sure you will like it if it is. =)

Yes, XMP enabled allows the motherboard to detect performance settings of the RAM and automatically configure settings in BIOS/EFI.
