Hello, wanted to ask if i should enable XMP.
Just bought

DDR4, 32GB, 3200MHz, CL16, Kit of 2​

It's running at 2133MHz in task manager

Specs:

GIGABYTE H410M-H V3

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz

Here is CPU-Z screenshots if these help to answer.

 
Solution
H410 chipset relies on cpu memory controller for fastest speed possible which for 10th gen is 2666. B460 & Z490 chipset allows for further xmp overclocking beyond cpu memory controller.

You can try enable xmp, why not, but max speed will be 2666.
