Ram speed importance depends on:

1) Game.
2) CPU memory controller.

It will smooth out those low points in frame time and frame rates.

In saying that, if you keep latency the same and boost clockrates on your Ram, latency will actually reduce as latency is calculated on a clock-cycle basis and that itself can produce some nice results.

In short, increase your memory speed using XMP, you will get some gains.

Often a slow CPU+Fast Ram can beat a faster CPU+slow ram, situation depending of course.

In your case though, it's free, so you might as well enable it.

Linus Tech Tips has a video about "does ram speed really matter (ddr5 edition)?"

Keep in mind that Linus has been caught out with dodgy data and benchmarking fairly recently.



Just like Red Gaming Tech and Moore Law is Dead... (Although Linus is far more credible than those idiots...) I would steer away from Linus in the short term.
