Corsair RAM XMP or not?

I'm not getting any more RAM.
I checked my Page File Usage in HWiNFO64, while playing my piano programs (and really wailing away), and my Page File Usage was 0%.
that means I do not need any more RAM.

Okay, read that wrong. Gskill is really good though, my 3200 I have been able to OC up to 3600. The important thing is you can run what you need to, not everyone want to OC everything like me an some others here

Yes, I just did the BIOS update too and had to redo settings. I always start fresh with a BIOS update anyway. I take screenshots of my settings to help remember what I set for each profile usually

I think it is really cool that you overclock. I know next to nothing about it. but I have started reading.

It get's addictive, watch out

I simultaneously feel excited and terrified. its an interesting mix. lol :) :)

If you want to test the limits off stability of your system, you just cannot be afraid to BSOD, then just drop back on the setting you changed a little. The BSOD is your friend here, as it protects your hardware from damage. Also there might be times where it cannot even boot into Windows and will ask if you want to go to BIOS or just use last known good settings. Nothing to be afraid of really.
