If you have a DDR5 motherboard, make sure that the RAM sticks you have are on the QVL (approved RAM) list for your motherboard! Or you may run into some instability. For all DDR4 setups, I would highly recommend enabling it so you can get the most out of your RAM sticks! In this case, I went from 2667mhz to 3600mhz, so the PC will run faster.

Just bought a second monitor with my best friend for his setup. He always wants more Hz over better quality. So we bought him another 144hz monitor. He has his setup for about 6 months. As he basically knows nothing about pc building I was sure for pretty much the whole time he has his setup, that it is not properly set up. And what's the first thing I checked? Ok f course l. His resolution and hz. And like I expected, 30hz 😂😂
This was me!!!! I thought I had a shitty 1080p monitor. Turns out it went to 244. The difference was night and day!! The first thing I noticed the cursor was extremely smooth and my games fps went past 60fps!
Word of advice. Make sure not only your mainboard supports your ram frequency but also your CPU memory controller. Take it from someone who has had system instability issues for 8 years due to overlooking that the CPU could not stably run the XMP frequencies of my RAM. Once I turned off XMP the ram frequency went back to a supported one and now the system is stable for the first time ever!
Bro you just solved a long standing issue for me. Well you didn't solve it but you made me understand why it happens. I'll solve it by upgrading my cpu!
I had the same issues, I just overclock the CPU and GPU, no point in turning on XMP and overclocking my ram for minimal performance increase at the cost of stability. If it that's important I'd just buy more ram/faster frequency ram, especially since it's so cheap nowadays.
redid a bunch of stuff on my PC and upgraded BIOS and what not. Always had XMP but for whatever reason this time i forgot and wasnt reminded until i saw your video Thank you i love you
I feel like Theres so much in building a pc yet you can make it look so simple in your shorts… could you perhaps do a full length video at some point! Love the videos man!
Look simple because it is. just read the manual that comes with the motherboard. Who would have guessed reading the instructions is the solution to avoid these missteps. We don't need more RUclips build guides your motherboard manual already has a board specific one that reminds you to enable xmp or take the sticker off the heatsink
Happened to me. Custom built from large gaming company. Had it for a long time, did not cause problems until I upgraded the GPU. Then the cpu thermal throttled like a crazy monkey!! That's how I found out, during change of thermal paste. I was shocked! Got a pretty sweet deal from them and upgraded to 7800x3d and a new rig. They were PRETTY embarrassed. Also removed the plastic on the old Intel one and added new paste...seems to have survived the looong time of cooking 😊
if i didnt build my pc with my brother i would have made that mistake XD as im about to put the cooler down on the cpu he was like " im sure you know what you are doing but is that plastic supposed to be on there still " and i just laughed and said forget everything you just saw

Not really, once you watch some videos you'll get an idea of what to do. I built mine recently and I have to say, it was pretty straight forward. Getting your PC setup after installing all of the parts can be tricky though
Nope, but they do take a lot of research in understanding what is compatible. There are lots of resources online to help. Best way to learn is to watch build video tutorials.
They are pretty self explanatory, you just lock your parts into place in the motherboard. Don’t stress over putting in your graphics card, it’s easier than you think.
when I first built my pc in 2023 I realized that my cpu was being less powerful as advertised and then I researched about this problem and this was the solution. Thank you for showing other PC builders this ❤

Impossible not to forget at least one thing with how many options there are now. but usually u can enable them eventually. undervolting often gives as much of a boost as XMP too, and better temps + power efficiency
I thought it was gonna be a "Remove before instillation" gag about one of those bits of plastic that melts into the motherboard if you can't read while building it lmao.
Doing my first build since 2011... figured it was time to upgrade. Hopefully my mobo comes with a paper manual, so that I don't have to learn everything from youtube shorts. I will be reading on xmp though, thanks for the tip.
I helped a co-worker build his pc, and he had already set the ram, and some other stuff, just needed help with fans, hard drives, and water cooler. Also helped him with setting up windows and drivers, programs, etc. I couldn't get past the windows half way install, turns out he had 2 different types of ram speeds...wasted like an hour or more.
Though it IS recommended that when you build a new PC to leave XMP off while you install windows, and set it up.. once it's ready, then enable XMP since in some cases XMP can cause issues when installing an OS since it's considered an overclock.
Another tip I have is to check if your SSD drives have the latest firmware. More than once I've seen talk about "the pre-installed firmware has issues - make sure that you update it as soon as you install the drive" when I was trawling around for a new one and reading discussions on forums. Or at least you should check which version is installed and whether it's the latest one.

The hardest part of downloading RAM is getting the sheep to fit in the case.
Downloading more RAM can be tricky at times
To be fair, XMP can cause blue screens on some games and even some normal softwares so, better letting it off until you really need it.
i never benchmarked my first pc build, just opened sims 4 with tons of mods and reshade and then maxed out my gpu immediately
