overclocking

[MitchKelly1993]

hey guys and gals.

 

looking at doing some slight overclocking to my system

 

system consists of

 

PSU: 750w gold coolermaster

GPU: Radeon 5700 xt Gigabyte OC 8gb

MB: Aorus X570 Ultra

CASE: coolermaster MB520

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x

CPU COOLER: coolermaster 240l AIO

RAM: Trident G.Skill 3200mhz 16gb (8x2)

SSD: 256GB

HDD: 4TB SEGATE

 

now ive done some slight overclocking with the GPU via the adrenaline software and got the temps/performance where im happy with it. only thing is i want to push the ram to maybe 3600ish. the CPU overclocking im not overly fussed about due to auto boost etc but it might be something ill look into in the future.

 

just with overclocking the ram im not real sure on what to do when it comes to voltage etc, i know that in bios you can pick whatever mhz you want to set the ram too but without doing the voltage its wasting time.

 

anyone able to give me a quick rundown on what to do? so i dont add extra volts into the ram when i dont need too and dont destroy it in the process? cheers

 

pic for attention

Link to your memory kit or can you provide timings, memory type(samsung, micron ect)

cheers for the reply.

 

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/37884 here is the link where i bought it from.

 

is the info G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C16D-16GTZR 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4

Have you tried just raising frequency without changing anything else? Most kits can do at least 200Mhz or more without making any changes to timings or voltages. One you figure out where you become stable this will help alot to figure out what kind of timming or voltage changes you will need to make. to reach 3600Mhz you probably going to be 17-18 Cas# with secondary timings of 22-22-44 at about 1.375v but it all depends every kit is different but I can help you along the way. Save a bios profile for you stock config and just raise the speed first and we can go from there.

cheers man

 

just went to 3400mhz in bios and ran a stress test on memory using aida 64 extreme and it didnt crash/blue screen me so assuming its happy.

 

ill restart pc and take photos of bios settings. would this be easier in inbox rather than a forum?
