Hi, new to posting here, but have been reading for years. Recently last night a friend of mine mentioned how he didn't have his XMP/DOCP profile set up for his memory, and how doing so increased his frequency speeds; which led to higher frames in CSGO (game we play together.) I checked my bios and saw that my DDR4 itself was running at 2133MHz, to which I turned on my DOCP settings.
After some testing, I ended up realizing my mobo (asus b450-f ROG) only takes higher speed memory in the secondary slots, so I switched those around and due to my ignorance and forgetting to reset my bios before changing ram slots, I ultimately had to take my mobo's battery out/in for a hard reset. That fixed my issues and I was able to boot up, and then fix the DOCP setting in my bios afterwards.
MY main question/concern though, is that my DOCP profile automatically set the speed of my memory (Corsair LPX 8GBx2 3600) TO 3600 which is the maximum speed it offers, but according to the product page of my mobo, it only support speeds up to 3200 MHz. Am I still getting the maximum performance I can out of my memory?
