I have an ASUS P7P55-M motherboard running with an Intel Core i5-750 processor and 4 GB RAM with 1600 MT/s speed. For some reason the default settings of the motherboard make all the components run at half their optimums.

I have switched to the "D.O.C.P." profile and supposedly everything is as it's supposed to be (verified with CPU-Z).

There is also an "X.M.P." profile and a manual one.

Are either of the DOCP or XMP safe to go with? I wouldn't use the manual mode as I would likely mess something up real bad. XMP seems to be more memory oriented.
