if your ram runs at over the speed that your cpu supports, it will overclock it for you.

XMP is for Xtreme Memory Profile.

It will overclock your ram automatically using Intel pre-made profile.

If your RAM is capable of higher frequency, you can turn it on for faster ram speed.

If your ram kit supports only 2133 mhz, then, useless to turn it on.

depends if your motherboard supports XMP, and depends if your ram has any XMP profiles.

Let it off.

IF you had a kit like this one per exemple : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233849&cm_re=ddr4_3000mhz-_-20-233-849-_-Product

 

Turning XMP on would overclock the RAM to 3000 mhz...

 

 

Don't worry tho.. theres no "real" improvement on higher mhz speed so...

Keep it off and ejoy ur i7

like I said.. your ram already goes to the max speed it supports : 2133.

No need to turn xmp on.
