How to "Ensure that a dual+ channel XMP BIOS profile is enabled"
I'm trying to narrow down an issue with my computer possibly being held back. When I do go into the BIOS however I can't figure out what setting will do that. Here is my bios.

I highly doubt it's the Ram, just saying.

Settings there are fine. Wanna doublecheck? Download https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html > memory tab... and voila.

From the pic, it looks like its not enabled. Click on ''Load XMP Setting'' and then select Profile 1.( What I assume).

I've got a list here and i've tried to reinstall all video drivers and do a fresh install.

Do a game benchmark, or at least 3dmark.
If you got a "feeling" something perform less well than it should, name it.

It's not your dual channel Ram, trust me.

Just looking at your userbenchmark results shows that you dont even have an SSD. Thats a big no in these days. Get yourself a 500GB SSD and install windows on it. If your issue is your pc being slow overall that is the cause.

So just get an SSD put windows on it and it will fix it?

ssd will make a bigger difference than ram
a hdd has always been the slowest part of a pc

to check that its running at the correct speeds and in dual ch mode use cpuz memory tab
spd tab will show each dimms xmp/spd profiles to see what each is capable of

If the symptoms are slow PC overall etc then yes it will guarantee fix it. Look for Samsung 860 EVO 500GB, they are not so expensive these days.

Alright ill get that ssd install it and put windows on it and it should fix the performance issues on games installed on my hdd? I dont want to make my hard drive useless. I mean the symptoms are my pc is preforming slower in games than it should be.

keep games on the hdd

the os on the ssd will speed up everything
boot time to 20sec or faster
instant browser loads

you can install steam on the ssd, but put the games library on the hdd
only install games on the ssd that are open world or use texture streaming
ssd will only improve load times not fps

So something like ac unity would be better on a ssd? or like ac origins to fix the fps crap in that game.

games on the ssd will only help with their load times, not fps

Yes but I have heard in some cases it can improve fps slightly and that would be great for something like ac origins. But so far i've only heard about those games giving an fps boost with an ssd.

Installing games on SSD won't directly impact on FPS that's for sure. But you will have really short loading screens and you won't see the slow asset loading on big open world games comparing to HDD. Regardless your system needs an SSD for sure.

Alight ill buy one and see if it fixes the performance on my computer. I never really had problems with loading screens and assets loading in slowly. What made me notice the issues was this video of ac unity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEdGtdylj8I&t=71s
im not getting the fps hes getting and my computer is slightly more powerful than his with the exception of an ssd. My fps goes down to the 50s or 45 on that game in crowds and his never goes anywhere near that.
