I've heard mixed opinions about enabling XMP for my RAM. Some folks say it's a good idea, while others suggest it might cause issues. My RAM isn't clocking at its advertised speed, so I'm wondering if turning on XMP is worth it or if I should just leave it off. What are your thoughts?

Yes, you should activate XMP to unlock optimal performance. Just make sure you're familiar with how to reset your BIOS to factory settings, in case it doesn't recognize the settings correctly.
Definitely turn on XMP. The only situation where you might not want to is if it causes any problems. If you do run into issues like BSODs, you can simply disable it.
If you don’t turn on XMP, your RAM won’t run at its advertised speeds without manually tweaking the settings. If you're new to this, using XMP is definitely the easier route.
Absolutely, you should enable XMP! It’s designed to help your RAM reach its advertised speeds easily, especially with AMD systems. Just make sure you’re comfortable with resetting your BIOS in case something goes wrong.
And don’t worry, if it doesn't work right away, you can always tweak it back down a notch until you find the right speed that’s stable!
What's BSOD? Is it something I should be worried about?
