Yes defiantly worth adjusting those, as for timings this 1st one should work <=3200mhz, 2nd one probs wont work but its fast.

Hello wonderful people, yesterday I built a new computer using a r5 3600,  Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 5 and CMK32GX4M4A2133C13 memory . After initially testing the computer I noticed my performance was lower then expected, after doing some research I now think its the memory causing this issue. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me some safe limits and give me some good settings I can run daily on this memory. Thanks for any responses :)

1.45v max voltage for 24/7 use, stay totally safe then 1.35v.

 

Memory overclocking varies heavily between sticks so you will have to test on your own, there are no good settings others can recommend. That's why buying binned CPUs is usually stupid but high speed rated memory isn't (to a point for normal users of course).

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

1.45-1.5V is generally said to be the max voltage for ddr4 but personally i say below 1.43V. When it comes to timings if that kit is afr, try 14-17-17-28 1T at 2933mhz with 1.4V should be no problem (If it doesnt work lower frequency), if that works try 3066mhz etc. For stability testing run 12 instances of HCI memtest with 2200MB in each instance, i personally run to 180% and have never had issues on any systems running this.

8700K @ 5.2ghz 1.29V, 4x8 Rev.E @ 4040 13-20-20-39 1.7V.

Should I attempt modifying the secondary timings? If yes, can you give me basic settings that might work, these numbers go in one ear and out the other for me.

Yes defiantly worth adjusting those, as for timings this 1st one should work <=3200mhz, 2nd one probs wont work but its fast.

Thankyou for this, I was able to get the first set of timings you posted stable at 3200mhz with 1.43V. ty ❤️ Also, I tested to 200% in memtest, is that enough?

I test to at around 180% and i have never had issues, congrats on the overclock!
