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? 🤷♀️
That’s definitely not common knowledge for people who build their own PC.

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.

It definitely is.
Every single review and YouTube video, even from channels with broad appeal like LTT and the like always talk about the need to enable XMP and talk about it having to be enabled to get the advertised performance.
It gets advertised on memory kits and motherboards and they provide easy instructions on how to do it.
It’s common knowledge to enable it.
