Hi, I have corsair vengeance DDR4 3200mhz RAM (or at least what does it say on it). But on the TASK MANAGER RAM SPEED says 2133mhz. Why is that? Does that mean it is fake ram or sth?
 
Solution
Hello

the 3200 advertised is the max mhz (within warranty and safety) that your ram can be overclokced to
So on "stock" your ram will be on 2133mhz

if you want to the ram to run at advertised speeds, you must enable XMP in the bios

Hi!
Thank you for answering!
Should I actually do that? I mean does it have any negative side-effects such as glitch or decreased lifespan sth like that? Could you explain XMP little further?
