Yes it makes the memory run at the correct speed ( 3200mhz if that what you purchased ) instead of the motherboard default speed, It's worth checking.
Advice on OcUK Gaming Kinetic R4

At the moment your RAM will be running at 2133 mhz when it should be running at 3600mhz (depending on what RAM you bought , i really hope you purchased the Ryzen tuned ram and not the Patriot). Ryzen is very dependent on decent ram because the Infinity fabric that connects the chiplets is unfluenced by the ram speed.
Go into BIOS and look for the XMP/DODC settings and click on it, should give you the full speed and if it is Ryzen tuned ram it should not need to much tinkering to get it running at the correct speed and timings.

Ahh I will do!
Yes it was the ryzen RAM I bought from OC.
The Wifi MB must have been out of stock and it defaulted to the non-wifi (bought it elsewhere) I just never realised.
Go into BIOS , click memory then click an XMP profile. There are normanlly 2 profiles , 1 will be best timings and 2 will be best stability. After you have chosen a profile pres escape and choose to save the settings and restart then it will be done.
To check you have done it right download cpuz and look in the memory tab. It should show up 1600 or 1800 mhz (depending on what you have) with the timings below it. It only shows up half the actual speeds because DDR stands for double data rate so its just how it shows up.
Optional stability testing. I like to run Prime95 blend for a couple of hours , if it drops no worker threads then it will most likely be stable for most desktop tasks. If it drops threads or crashes you may have to tweak the settings. CPUz also has a benchmark/stress tool.
