These are the parts to my first PC build, I done a benchmark test, which told me my ram is under performing. I got told to make sure XMP is enabled in Bois, my problem is that i cannot find the XMP setting or it isn't there at all. on the ASRock website it said that my mother board which is the B360 Pro 4 supports XMP. Also i would like to know if i can overclock my CPU i7 8700k with this motherboard. Thanks.

See if there is an advanced mode (f7). Also, because of your motherboard chipset, your ram speed will be limited to 2666mhz even with xmp on.

Nope. You picked a cheap B series motherboard that doesnt support overclocking and limits ram speed to 2666mhz.

You cannot overclock that CPU, with that motherboard. You need z370, or z390, in order to overclock. Your manual explains where memory settings are, and how they function.

Thanks for the reply! can you recommend me a mother board that will be the same size as the one i have and will be able to overclock my CPU and will not limit my ram speed please.

will it be fine to swap all my parts onto a new board as i only build this PC 3 weeks ago.

Can my power supply handle the overclocking?

Thanks!

PSU can handle overclocking, but your hyper 212 will not.

So you will need a new mobo and cooler.
