XMP Profile 1 and XMP Profile 2 on HP OMEN 25L GT11-0012na
I just upgraded my 8GB RAM to dual 32 GB - Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600Mhz Dual Kit - but the RAM speed went down from 2666MHz to 2133MHz
Shop recommended I go into the BIOS and turn on XMP - two options in there: XMP Profile 1 and XMP Profile 2
I have read thought that tinkering under the hood carries a small risk of frying your CPU as it increases the voltage supply slightly and as such invalidates warranties and stuff ?
A small risk I heard and so far as I can gather one that people often take without breaking a sweat - but I'm slightly worried about risking breaking my lovely new gaming PC nonetheless
Performance is just as good as before - maybe slightly better (as I would hope) so I'm just weighing up the pros and cons of turning on XMP but figured I would seek some advice here before experimenting with new BIOS settings ?
Primary use for this PC is for graphic design (which it handles comfortably)
