Speed
7200 MT/s — this kit4800JEDEC9200Board max
- 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 7200 MT/s. If Task Manager shows 4800, that's why.
- Above the CPU's official speed. Core Ultra 200S officially supports 6400 MT/s. Running faster is an overclock through XMP; most CPUs handle it, but it isn't guaranteed.
- Use slots A2 and B2. The second and fourth slots from the CPU. Two sticks in the wrong pair may not reach full speed.
