Speed
- Four DDR5 sticks rarely hit rated speed. With all four slots filled, most boards run DDR5 well below the rated speed. A two-stick kit of the same total capacity is the safer buy.
- Out of the box: 4800 MT/s. Every kit starts at a safe default speed. Turn on XMP in the BIOS to run it at 5600 MT/s. If Task Manager shows 4800, that's why.
- Intel profile on an AMD board. Most AMD boards can load XMP profiles. It usually works, but EXPO kits are the ones tested for AMD.
