X.M.P. profiles are a quick way to get optimal performance for your memory without
having to tweak the settings manually. These settings are verified by the memory manu-
facturer so you don’t have to worry about stability.
Step 3: Change your CPU Multiplier
The formula to calculate the frequency of your CPU is: CPU Base Clock * CPU Clock Ratio.
The Intel i7-7740X the CPU has a Base Clock of 100 and CPU Clock Ratio of 43 for a
frequency of 100 * 43 = 4300MHz. In this guide we will be overclocking to 5.1GHz for
an 800MHz increase.
Set your CPU Clock Ratio to “51”.
