memory RAM overclocking questions?

[Dankcube]

So I am very new to overclocking RAM, I was wondering why my CPU-Z is reporting my voltages in SPD at 1.20V when I set it to 1.30V in my BIOS? 

[Jurrunio]

1.3V number is probably decided by the BIOS itself. I'd just start at 1.45v right away

no I said I set the voltage to 1.3 myself... I was only wondering on why CPU-Z is showing it as 1.2V when **I SET THE VOLTAGE TO 1.3 MYSELF***

oh, because SPD profile is the factory profile by this time, Kingston, in the SPD chip physically on the memory stick(s). It doesnt care about your custom settings.'

 

In fact the only software that MIGHT show DIMM voltage is HWinfo64, even then it might not work because many boards dont report this voltage at all

thankyou for the information. I was wondering what timings I should be using for my 

Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit overclocked to 2400MHz at 1.3 volts, at this time I let ASUS auto fill my timings for me.

I forgot to add that my mobo is an asus z170-k

there's no such thing as "should", bad settings wont damage the hardware. You have to test it out yourself.

I am asking you what timings I should have for my RAM m8.

how would I know? I dont have your kit or your board or your CPU. If you want somewhere to start, auto settings is a good place.

I am asking because this is a forum for tech enthusiast's who would know these sort of things...?, am I in the pizza forum or something aha

 

I have an i7 6700k, with a PRIME z270-k i was not able to find videos to tell me what timings are good for a moderate RAM overclock

then I think you should reevaluate your decision. Memory overclocking makes CPU and GPU overclocking look like child's play

I think you should just stop replying to me if you aren't capable of posting relevant information to this thread I don't need to be told what to do thankyou I am here to learn. sincerely hope this forum isn't full of idiots like you
