Need help with overclocking RAM

[Juan11904]

Hi there,

So i tried overclocking my 2133 ram to 2400 i have 4(4x4) sticks but for some reason i can only control the timings of a and b and when i do only two out of the four are overclocked to 2400 and yes the system sees all the ram 16gb but it thinks its prob just 2 sticks in a single channel so if you have suggestions or advice or more things to try and help me pls ask

mobo: gigabyte z270 gaming k3

ram:ddr4 hyper x kingston fury 4x4 2133

so it gets more current and you might be able to go to 2400 or even higher?

i did raise it and it works just fine its just that i can change only two of the 4 sticks timings a and b are the only ones i can change

isn't that per channel then? normally a and b are indications of channels

memory slots are regarded as

 

A1

A2

B1

B2

 

you're adjusting the channel timings, not the timings for each individual DIMM

 

some BIOS' have a mode where you can view the SPD information of each individual DIMM and that may be the case for yours, but for literally every single bios i have used, memory clocks and timings have been done on a per-channel basis

Thanks maybe i just forgot to edit one of channel tho it should do it auto but now it works thanks anyway
