Hi!
First of all, thansk a lot in advance!
I have just added some memory to my rig and, although it says it is 1600 9-9-9-24 it only works like that in XMP (or at least that is what I have found out). So I enabled XMP on the bios with the 1600 9-9-9-24 1.5v profile and now cpu-z show it rigth (well, it show 799.9MHz...).
What worries me is that I see the CPU frequency has increased. I mean, before the change when the pc was iddle the frequency dropped to 1600-1700MHz and now it seems to be always at 3700Mhz.
May it be due to the change on the XMP? Are there any risk I should check if I enable XMP?
Without XMP enabled CPU-Z showed the ram as 800MHz 11-11-11-28 and when I add another 2x2gb set (same brand and specs) it dropped to 668.7 MHz 9-9-9-24.
With the XMP enabled I get the 12GB total with 799.9MHz and 9-9-9-24 but I don't want to hurt my system just to get faster ram.
Thanks a lot
