Cheaper Ram OC or Factory OC

[LaocoonsBane]

Hey, just joined because I had a question about ram; if I just want an extra 200mhz or so should I save myself 15$ and just overclock cheaper ram? Is it worth?

You can overclock cheaper RAM but just like higher quality RAM you might need to loosten your timings.  I promise you there is no difference in real world with added 200Mhz on RAM.  Instead try to keep its stock speed and play with the timings which will yeidl better latencies and what not.

you can allways gamble on these sticks 8GB for 60€ish

they are samsung c-Dies and overclock quite well and are cheap 

i managed on 2x M378A1K43CB2-CTD | 8GB DDR4-2666 19-19-19 1.20V @ 3800Mhz @ 19-24-24-24 t2

BUT it is a gamble  AND a hussle to dial in ALL timings by yourselfe. Alot and i mean ALOT of error and trial. Hey its fun

I would try to play with all variations that may prove stable.  If you can add some more speed while maintaining timings then I would try that and then see if you can keep your original speed and tighten its timings.  Compare the results of both with something like Geekbench 3 or Geekbench 4.
