Help! Ram overclocking for Ryzen

Image for Ballistix Sport LT Red 4GB DDR4-2666 UDIMM from Crucial USA

Ballistix Sport LT Red 4GB DDR4-2666(1.2v)

BLS4G4D26BFSE

I have kit of these memories running with my ryzen 5 2600 at 2666mhz. Is it worth OCing it? Is OC even possible with these memories?

if anyone who have used these memories and OCed them could help me out that would be really appreciated! thanks .

all sticks, even if they are the same model, OC differently. In fact this applies to everything, there is no "easy settings you could try"

Most ram can be overclocked no problem, What are you having trouble with?

I want to know how much voltage should I put and what should be the cl? should I just change the voltage to 1.35? and put the oc to 2934 or do I need to change the cl timings too?

yeah but I just want some confirm starting numbers to hold onto and then see if I can reach there

Well the first thing I would do is bump DRAM voltage up to 1.35V and then start trying faster RAM speeds with your current timings.  I imagine most timings are set to Auto so they will adjust with the speed and the primary timings set by DOCP seem generous enough to start off.  If you're at 2666MHz you could shoot for the moon and try 3200MHz and then proceed as results dictate.  Or set your DRAM voltage to 1.4V and try 3200MHz with fewer fingers crossed.

is it safe to go for 1.4? I don't want to burn my sticks (new to oc and stuff)

Those sticks aren't that great to start with, and don't have great heat spreaders. I wouldn't push past 1.35v if it were me.

1.4V isn't gonna harm them.

I increased the voltage to 1.35v and frequency to 3000mhz with same cl timings

You're gonna wanna find a RAM test to run. 

 

I like using TM5 with the 1usmus test profile.

Newest version of the test profile by 1usmus:

Also HCI MemTest is used by lots and here is a version that will spawn test windows for you:
