Hi, does anybody have any tutorials on overclocking RAM? I've enabled XMP but want to squeeze more performance out of my 2400Mhz

Specs:

Intel Core i5-8400

Gigabyte DSH3

8GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4

MSI GTX 960 2GB

WD Green 120GB M.2 Boot SSD

Seagate 1TB SSHD

Corsair CX650

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that MOBO supports OC higher than 2666.  In the Bios are there Advanced Memory settings like the image below?

@TheGlenlivet but what about timings tuning? You could in theory apply 2400MHz 12-12-12-22 even if the board doesnt allow overclocking for example, that's not locked.

Yeah, he'd have to check if his BIOS has sub timings available for changing.

Hey @Jurrunioand @TheGlenlivet. I'm quite late, but I have the exact situation as OP, and I can confirm that the BIOS does allow for sub timings for the two channels I have installed. However, I go to do it in with Advanced Manual mode (letting me change everything) and I am COMPLETELY lost. Any tips on what to set these things to? I didn't realise my 3600 was only 3600 if I overclocked it.
