XMP?

[Kapiba]

I bought the NZXT player one model, this is my first pc. I have watched tons of videos from LTT and other popular tech content creators. Ever video I have seen says to enable XMP. Here are the specs of the pre build:
 

CPU

Intel® Core™ i5-12400F

GPU

NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050

Memory

32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR5 5200 MHz

Motherboard

B760

Storage

1TB NVMe M.2 SSD

PSU

650W Gold

Is there any conflict with the motherboard or anything that would make turning on XMP cause any harm or slowly damage something?

No. If the system is subsequently unstable simply turn off XMP.

Can you return this and get something less cursed? 4 DIMM setups of DDR5 are sketchy at best, and the 8GB DIMMs perform worse than the 16GB DIMMs because of how they're organized. A 2x16GB kit rated at something like 6000 CL30 will likely cost the same as that memory setup, be significantly faster overall, and not be prone to as many issues.

No, XMP just might not work and therefore have system instability until you turn it off and/or remove two sticks.

It’s a prebuilt, wouldn’t OP have to return the whole pc?

I don’t see any problems with trying XMP, but definitely run a stability test. Might be unstable on 4 sticks of ddr5 @Kapiba

 

I've never used it, but I think there’s something called “memtest86” that you can boot into to test your RAM stability with XMP on.

Didn't catch that it's a prebuilt. This has to be one of the dumbest part selections I've seen in a prebuilt in a while, not helped by the fact that checking their website they charge $75 extra for 4x8GB over 2x8GB, effectively more than the cost of a good 6000 CL30 kit for this system taking into account the price of the original kit.
