Question i might upgrade my pc a little. does the B365M DS3H WIFI (rev. 1.x) support xmp? I want to buy 3200mhz ram and use the xmp mode to bypass 2666mhz

hi i want to bypass 2666mhz ram with the cpu i might buy but im wondering if the B365M DS3H WIFI (rev. 1.x) actually supports xmp because there is very little info online so i was just wondering if the B365M DS3H WIFI (rev. 1.x) can support up to 3200mhz 8x2 ?

i viewed the file and what it says is "support for ddr4 2666/2400/2133 mhz memory modules. and "support for Extreme memory profile (XMP)) does this mean if i installed a 8/9th gen i5 it could run at 3200mhz?

xmp refers to the settings in the ram stick that the motherboard can draw out of the ram stick.
If your motherboard does not support 3200 speed(and it does not) then no, you will not be able to run at that speed.

I might add that excepting use for integrated graphics intel performance does not much depend on fast ram.

So specifically relating to the motherboard and cpu (i5 8600k, B365M DS3H WIFI) will it be able to support 3200mhz ram ? I thought xmp allowed your ram to OC

Technically, any ram faster than the default 2666 is overclocked.
That is done by setting a higher voltage in the ram specs in the bios.
The ram is capable of 3200 speed, but your motherboard is not.

So the answer is NO I can't use XMP. Even if I bought 3200mhz ram and used it it would capped at 2666mhz even WITH xmp enabled
