I have 8x2GB of corsair vengeance 2133 ram. Right now im building a system that i want to last as long as possible. The bios on my asus h110m-a motherboard has an X M P profile option for my ram. Does this effect lifetime of the memory or motherboard at all? or is it like overclocking a gpu without touching the power which as long as the temps are good it won't affect lifetime.
 
Solution
No, the DRAM is fully tested to run at the given data rate and will be fine, also most DRAM comes with a lifetime guarantee, I have rigs out there I built years ago with DRAM OCed over spec and they are all running just fine. While DRAM can go bad, it's seldom seen 😉
