Corsair RAM XMP or not?
hi,
I'm a first time builder.
I built my desktop because I wanted a computer that would be strong enough to play some piano VST programs with no glitching.
I am writing to ask please for advice about RAM.
I have an Asus Z270F motherboard.
I have 16 GB of Corsair LPX Vengeance 3200. it defaults to 2133 Mhz.
I want to know 2 things.
- what are the pro's and cons of enabling XMP?
- should I get 16 GB more, to bring my total to 32 GB?
my CPU is an i7 7700k.
I have done no overclocking at all. and I was thinking of leaving the CPU at its default. the only thing I am wondering is if I should do stuff about RAM.
I have a Corsair H80i v2 liquid cooler.
my system drive is a Crucial MX300 M.2 525 GB SSD. my Sample library (for the piano VST programs), is installed on another drive. its an Intel 600p M.2 NVMe 512 GB SSD.
I have Windows 10 Pro.
thank you for any thoughts,
Charlie
