Eh, yeah maybe you're right but it's such a tremendous amount of performance to lose out on for a couple keystrokes. Any halfway decent guide for beginners should be mentioning it but I don't know how people outside my circles build computers. Do they read/watch guides? Do they just plug shit together and pray that it works? 🤷‍♀️

It's very prominent in any build guide, on even casual PC youtuber videos, in motherboard manuals, on ram kits.

It's absolutely common knowledge to enable XMP, I dunno what that guy is smoking.
