XPS 8950, XMP question

Question

I was curious if the new XPS 8950 has the option to enable XMP with compatible ram and 'k' processors?

I have seen that previous generations have tended not to, but since this is new architecture I have not been able to find any info.

Thanks!

I did not see any XMP option in the BIOS on my XPS 8950.

Probably would have to be a BIOS setting. So look here for that kind of option...

Thanks for responding, Yes it is a bios setting. Unfortunately there's very little information on that page.

It is in the BIOS, but it is set at Disable. You have to Enable Overclocking first to see it. I got a BIOS update today hoping it could be enabled but it still isn't. I hope someday it will be.

Thats for checking Pete, I figured it out. Dell just likes to control things in the background. If you enable overclocking it does appear to adjust the xmp profile and increases your boost clock.

Some tweaking can be done after that in the intel xtu app, I just have not played with it enough to see what the watchdog app will actually allow to stay and not be ignored apon reboot
