Should I enable intel 200s boost?

Patriot viper 5 ddr5 7600mhz 2x24gb ram kit. Xmp 1 = 1.45v

Bur the intel 200s sets the ram voltage at max 1.40v

Is this going to make my ram unstable, and therefore I should avoid intel 200s?
 
You can override the voltage if it actually makes the change. I wouldn't run it at 1.4v if XMP is 1.45 though. It will most likely be unstable.

Also its legit just changing NGU and D2D to 32x. You can also manually do this because the voltages associated with this is still set to auto. So you have two methods of doing Intel 200S Boost.
 
200S boost is just an OC profile, apply 200S boost first then reapply your XMP after and it should set 1.45v ram

or just boost the voltage yourself to 1.45 after.

yes thank you. I did some further searching and found that setting the NGU and D2D to 32x indeed gives the same result without constraining the ram voltage to 1.40v despite its xmp 1 profile of 1.45v
That being said, after booting into windows, as of now everythhing is stable even with the lower voltage. Ran a cinebench 24 test, stable there too. But yeah, Id rather run the xmp voltage. So I'll do things manually
 
I have better performance on my board with the asus oc profile rather than 200s boost. My experience.

do I need to change any voltage settings ON TOP OF changing the NGU and D2D to 32x?
 
You shouldn't have to for 8000 MT/s or below.

VNNAON is D2D rail. Default is 0.77v, with a max of 1.0v (though that can give you boot problems)

I don't remember the NGU off the top. I personally don't change it because I get nothing extra in performance. D2D > Ring > NGU

Ring Cache needs a nice bump to get stable, so beware changing that one. I assume it's CPU lottery.
