How do I know if XMP settings are on or off?

I have 16GB (2x8GB) of G.Skill Trident-Z 3200MHZ RGB RAM and my motherboard is an AsRock Fatality Gaming K6 Z370.

It should say XMP is enabled in BIOS and your ram should be faster in task manager (if you set the ram faster in XMP).

Run HWinfo and look at memory timings it should say 1600Mhz max. or x16 under clock ratio,DDR is double data rate so two times 1600=3200.

Task Manager should tell you what speed your Ram is running at under its memory page. You WILL have to turn XMP on in your BIOS as it won't be on by default. When you change it in the BIOS and reboot it may set it back to off if you have not set it correctly or your BIOS decides it can't do the memory overclock for some reason. Checking with Task Manager is a good way to see if XMP has 'stuck'.
