I have a HP Pavilion Gaming PC with an Intel i5-10400, 1 250 GB m.2 ssd, 1 TB Toshiba hard drive, 12 GB RAM and Nividia GTX 1650 super. I recently upgraded to 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) Corsair Vengeance RAM. The BIOS does not have the option of enabling XMP 2.0 profile. Is Intel Extreme Tuning Utlitity safe?! Is there a chance that overclocking the RAM would affect the motherboard?!

Intel Extreme TUning utitily is no more or less safe than just going to the bios and overclocking stuff that way, the only real difference is that you can do stuff like change the turbo boost time window which the bios cant do.
