AMD EXPO vs DOCP

Memory overclocking is the process of increasing the operating speed of your computer's RAM (Random Access Memory) beyond its default or rated frequency. RAM modules are designed to work at specific speeds and timings according to the industry-accepted JEDEC specifications. Overclocking allows you to push the memory modules beyond that to run at higher frequencies, resulting in improved system performance.

DOCP (Direct Over Clock Profile) is an ASUS technology used on its motherboards, while Intel’s XMP (eXtreme Memory Profile) is obviously enough just for it's own CPUs. There's also EOCP (Extended Overclock Profiles) which comes from Gigabyte and is designed to simplify the process of memory overclocking by offering users a one-click solution for achieving higher memory speeds. These are all very similar as far as the end user is concerned.

DOCP uses the XMP protocol information to automatically set the data rate and timings on AMD motherboards and allows you to run your DDR4 RAM at up to 3200MHz.

The latest memory overclocking technology is specially designed for AMD's new AM5 platform that supports AMD Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. Called EXPO, which is short for Extended Profiles for Overclocking. EXPO is AMD's version of Intel XMP and offers better voltage control than Intel XMP while enabling automatic overclocking with a single click. AMD EXPO is only available on the DDR5 standard.
