Overclocking memory module settings in computer devices

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11875872B2) discloses a computer device with a memory module featuring a serial presence detect (SPD) module, a processor, and a basic input output system (BIOS) storing an extreme memory profile (XMP). The BIOS, when activated by the processor to display a user interface (UI), presents an overclocking option corresponding to the XMP in a selection list on the UI. Upon receiving a selection request for the overclocking option, the BIOS reads various memory setting parameters from the XMP and configures the memory module accordingly. The overclocking option displayed includes details such as memory type, operating frequency, latency, and voltage, enhancing user control over memory performance.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for setting memory parameters through the BIOS, including calculating a performance score based on the memory settings and displaying it graphically along with the operating frequency. After configuring the memory module, the BIOS initiates a reboot to ensure the processor operates according to the new settings. The patent also covers scenarios where the memory module's SPD module may or may not store an XMP, providing flexibility in handling different memory configurations. Additionally, the patent extends to mainboards within computer devices, where the BIOS on the mainboard facilitates memory overclocking options and configuration based on XMP parameters, enhancing memory performance customization for users.
