XMP 2.0 / DOCP Profile Activation Required

This is a high-performance DDR4-3200 memory kit. It will NOT run at advertised speeds out of the box.

JEDEC Fallback Behavior

By default, all motherboards boot using safe **JEDEC standards** (typically **2133MT/s**). If you plug this RAM in and boot immediately, your system will downclock to this baseline, losing up to **10% - 20% CPU bandwidth**.

How to Enable XMP/DOCP

  1. 1.Reboot PC, tap Del or F2 to enter **BIOS**.
  2. 2.Find memory settings and toggle **XMP / DOCP** to **Enabled**.
  3. 3.Save & Exit (press F10). PC will reboot at 3200MHz.
Platform compatibility warning: On AMD AM5 (DDR5 Ryzen 7000/9000), target EXPO kits for maximum stability. On Intel platforms, prioritize XMP kits. Both profiles work, but choosing native profiles optimizes memory training timings.
