I looked at a couple of videos to see what was involved in overclocking RAM on a Ryzen system. In particular I looked at these two:
In each one, they enabled their XMP profile and then started plugging in the values. This confused me for a couple of reasons. Why would the BIOS software even allow this? What is the point of enabling XMP only to override all the settings. From a UI experience perspective it seems odd that the BIOS doesn't naturally fall back into manual mode as soon as you go in and tinker with the timings.
I know that the XMP Profile loads a bunch of settings, and that you can override a couple of them. But these guides have you manually overriding everything. Wouldn't it make more sense to disable XMP here?
