Hi,

I was reading this article: https://www.msi.com/blog/msi-click-...overclocking-new-looks-and-unmatched-control/ and bumped on this line:
"According to a few tests with Memory Extension Mode enabled, we found up to 14% better performance compared to just setting XMP and calling it a day."

Memory Extension Mode in MSI Click BIOS X is only a click away and offers 4 preset modes at the same frequency —Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, High Efficiency Mode, and Memtest Mode—to optimize memory parameters like speed and latency to improve performance in scenarios like benchmarking, gaming, etc.

But I do not understand the difference between the XMP profiles and the above setting? If I enable (before saving) the "Preformance Mode" and then click on save an exit (before actualy saving) I can see what the change are that will be made to the BIOS. This is a list of 10 rules. When I activate XMP1 it is only 2 rules of changes. So before I do anything I want to know what it means.
