Intel 12th Gen RAM Speed 100x1.00 VS 100x1.33

As title says, I know 11th gen would only work at 3200mhz if it was at 1.33, 12th gen however works with either.

Is one better than the other or it doesn't really matter?

I believe XMP sets it at 100x1.33.*

  • When it comes to RAM frequency and voltage, it's important to consider both the compatibility with your CPU and the performance benefits.

    As you mentioned, 11th gen CPUs typically support RAM speeds of up to 3200MHz at 1.33V, while 12th gen CPUs have more flexibility in terms of RAM speed and voltage.

    While running RAM at higher frequencies can provide a performance boost, it's important to ensure that your system is stable and that your RAM is compatible with your CPU and motherboard. Running RAM at a higher frequency or voltage than what is supported by your CPU can cause stability issues or even damage to your components.

    Therefore, it's recommended to stick with the recommended RAM speed and voltage for your specific CPU, unless you are experienced with overclocking and understand the potential risks.

    While 12th gen CPUs may offer more flexibility in terms of RAM speed and voltage, it's important to ensure compatibility and stability when making any changes to your system's RAM configuration.

    It is possible for XMP to set the RAM frequency and voltage to 100x1.33 on some systems. However, the specific frequency and voltage settings will depend on the individual RAM kit and the capabilities of the CPU and motherboard.

    XMP is a feature that allows RAM to run at higher speeds than the default frequency set by the manufacturer. The XMP profile contains pre-configured settings for the RAM frequency, voltage, and timings, which can be applied in the BIOS to achieve higher performance.

    In some cases, the XMP profile may set the RAM frequency to a specific value, such as 3200MHz or 3600MHz, and adjust the voltage accordingly to ensure stability. However, the exact frequency and voltage settings will vary depending on the specific RAM kit and the capabilities of the CPU and motherboard.

    Therefore, it's important to consult the specifications of your RAM kit, CPU, and motherboard to ensure compatibility and stability when using XMP or making any changes to your system's RAM configuration.
