XMP: Intel Extreme Memory Profile(Intel Platform)
DOCP: AMD Direct Over Clock Profile (AMD Platform)
Load the preset overclock file and DRAM timing from memory SPD chip to quickly overclock to a stable frequency
*For DRAM compatibility, please use DRAMs that in our QVL list
Catalog:
Intel Motherboard: enable XMP in BIOS setup
AMD Motherboard: enable DOCP in BIOS setup

Q&A:
Q1:How to troubleshoot if XMP or DOCP fail?
A1:It is recommended to use the DRAMs in QVL, and for 2 or 4 pieces, please use the suit, do not mix and use
* Please replace the higher specification CPU to verify if you have one
Number of DRAM | item 1 | item 2 | itme 3 | itme 4 |
one | Install as recommend | install in other slot | ||
two | Install as recommend | exchange each slot | install singe DRAM in recommend slot | install in other slot |
four | Install as recommend | exchange each slot | install singe DRAM in recommend slot | install in other slot |
Q2:How to check DRAM frequency after enable XMP or DOCP ?
A2:BIOS EZ Mode Memory information show DRAM frequency
