i ve purchased a p.c. and asked the manufacturer to put a ram 3300 mhz, but the system is showing 2100 mhz, manufacturer is telling me that on the ram it is mentioned that its 3300 mhz but it shows in the computer 2100 mhz, is it possible or i ve been cheated?
Memory problem, showing 3300 mhz as 2100 mhz in system

what is xmp n where it ll be located, there r 100s of options in this board, i could not find it, how to upload a screen shot here no option..i m sharing links of those screen shots but keep in mind that i could not found XMP , these tests were taken without xpm enabled.

i guess you need some education about this one 
the RAM sticks is the corsair 3200Mhz. you can read the article below regarding how to enable XMP. you can find info regarding your XMP settings in your motherboards manual as well.

i was in doubt, i guessed u r talking about over clocking, anyway when i check the ram it is displayed as 2100 mhz, plz inform me that how can you say that it is 3200 mhz? plz increase my knowledge i do nt know this.

XMP is an auto overclock. all overclockable DDR4 RAMs run at a base freq of 2133Mhz. you need to overclock it to make it run at 3200Mhz. but most people dont want to bother with overclocking and just be done with it. hence the XMP is created for quick overclocking. just one click and forget about it. if you cant find XMP settings in your BIOS for your current motherboard, then it does not support overclocking. best you visit your motherboards site to recheck on the supported RAM frequency range. can edit your original post and add the specs for your hardware? at least your motherboard and CPU will do.
here is xmp eneable link: https://image.ibb.co/fgTr3b/m.png
and if i i let the xmp eneabled all the time will it auto balance my pc or it ll be at it s peak all the time and ll it effect my pc in its health, i ve enabled the proper cooling for my pc.
plz let me know that how can i find the real speed of my ram like 3200 mhz when it is displayed as 2100 mhz

you dont have to worry about that. your BIOS will read your XMP only to adjust for your RAM to run at the 3200Mhz speed. it wont affect your CPU or anything else directly. and your screenshot says that your RAM is running at 3200Mhz. DRAM frequency 1600Mhz x 2 = 3200Mhz. your PC is fine now.
if you still have doubts. you can also check in your task manager. and go to performance tab. go to memory. it will show your current frequency speed on the lower right.

thx for your experienced solutions i really needed that info, i need a bit more help.
i want to configure my pc on auto overclocking but if needed...i mean i want to run my pc in a normal state but if games or softwares need more power only then my pc should start providing more power but the power which is needed, for example if a game needs 2500 mhz ram power then my pc should not run the ram at 3200mhz it should provide the 2500 power..is it possible....?
and my nvidia gtx 1080 g1 is on the way, for now i m using asus hd 7970, plz inform me that how can i over clock it and ll it work in the way i asked for my ram's over clocking????

For RAM overclocking or XMP you have your RAM at one speed and that's it. That is set in your UEFI settings/BIOS. It runs at that same speed from when you start the PC to when it shuts down. I've never seen RAM speeds change during a session, they stay locked at the setting they were set to in BIOS settings.
Intel processors use turbo boost and AMD processors use Turbo Core to clock up the CPU when it needs to run faster. Asside from that there is BIOS level overclocking. Ryzen CPUs have Ryzen Master that lets you overclock inside Windows.
Graphics card overclocking is performed inside Windows using 3rd part programs. My preferred is MSI Aferburner.

Yes, you use XMP to overclock your RAM in BIOS settings. That is how you get from the base 2133MHz to higher levels like 3000MHz if your RAM supports it. You don't have to overclock your processor at all to do this. If your BIOS has XMP all you have to do is select the XMP preset to use. This varies from motherboard to motherboard.
i wanted to switch on xmp but my system provider said that the board ll be burnt, is it true? i got a new system:
rog strix z 370 asus gaming board, i7 8700 k processor, corsair 16 gb ddr 4 rams, ( can be overclocked ) corsair gold power supply and corsair liquid cooling. the card is nvidia 1070 g1.
My system provider says that leave the settings on auto, he said that if more processor power ll be needed my processor ll increase its power automatically e.g. as it is 3.7 by default, if any game needs higher power it ll be increased to 4.7 maximum. i play games for 70 hours non stop some times, plz let me know that if i put xmp on , on permanent bases ll it be safe? and as u said xmp is related to the rams only, ll putting it on just effect the rams? not the processor? if we need to set our processor on auto what setting should we made? and ll it increase the processor speed if needed? and how can we set it on maximum speed like 4.7 ( as my processor's peek speed is 4.7 )
plz inform that how can we set the processor on 4.7, i think it is its overclock speed, what do u say...? plz inform about 1070 g1 utility too...my 1070 g1 heats up a lot and then its fans start and make it cool, i do nt want it to be heated but need to use it at its full power if needed, in other words i want to set my card on auto, if its full power is needed by the game or a software it should go for it, but the fan system of the card should keep it cool, i do not know about fan adjustment ,i ve 4 system fans other than my gpu fans, and they are set on auto and works fine, but when the gpu fans do not start in time my system becomes heat up, i m sending you a link with a pic of my g1 utility, i ve tried change its fans and power plz let me know if it is good and if not then let me know about any amendment for this.
https://image.ibb.co/iRemhx/2.png this is built in settings of the g1 utility which is heating up the gpu.
https://image.ibb.co/cbvRhx/f.png i ve made these changes last night but ve not checked them till now.

There seems to be confusion somewhere over what exactly is being overclocked: RAM is what we are looking at here not CPU or graphics card. These are three different and independent things. The 4.7GHz refers to processor speed. The person that you were talking to probably thought you were talking about your CPU. XMP is memory or RAM overclocking where you set your RAM to the full speed (eg 3200MHz). You can do one without the other.
The graphics card is also independent of these two although graphics cards themselves can be overclocked. You don't have to worry about graphics card cooling as they have coolers built in. If you decide to overclock the processor then a good CPU cooler becomes important. I honesty don't recommend overclocking your graphics card.
You should be able to use XMP in BIOS to set the RAM to its full speed without damaging anything. This has nothing to do with your processor or graphics card.
