    Question What do I use instead of XMP?

    Unfortunately there was nothing there even remotely related to RAM, oh well! Like you said Im mostly only going to do basic stuff and I am one of those people who is perfectly fine running a game in 1080p on high settings.

I got the 3200Mhz cause its cheaper and was told it would just clock down the correct speed...
