Enable XMP in BIOS?

scwbrian · Jan 8, 2015

I have a Asus ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard
Now, I just ordered some 1866mhz RAM and people are saying that it runs at 1600mhz by default on the Motherboard, where would I go in the Motherboards BIOS to enable XMP so it runs at what it should be running?
Here is the Motherboad in case anyone is wondering - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851

Here is the RAM in case anyone is wondering - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460

Just enter the CMOS and it's either under the Advanced or Ai Tab - I forget which. It's pretty intuitive. Just poke around for the memory. Set it to XMP1. Otherwise, ASUS usually includes an auto-OC/tuning suite that can do it as well.

I don't think AM3+ boards have XMP in the BIOS. You will probably have to set the timing & speed manually.

EDIT:
Also, what CPU do you have. Depends on CPU too. The memory controller is in the CPU.

Good call - with an AMD chipset its called DOCP. AI tweaker >> you need to set tuning or clocking to auto, or DOCP.
Find DOCP, you can choose your RAM profile.

I've made some builds with FM2+ boards and they now have XMP. Too bad they aren't that good for gaming.

So that's in the BIOS?

DOCP is under the DRAM settings in the BIOS.

Select 1866 in the tab.
