How to Properly Overclock RAM?

[Jordan Gulrajani]

Hello guys, I've just purchased another 8GB HyperXfury 2666 CL 16  for my system which leads to 2x8GB Dual Channel Configuration. I managed to boot up on my BIOS and changed the disabled on 

the xmp tab and turned it to profile 1 and set my frequency to 32.00 which is 3200MHz and I also set the voltage to 1.20V to 1.35V. I wonder If this is the proper way and safe way to overclock my dual

config ram to get the best out of it. Lemme know If I should turn up more speed or voltage to still get extra performance. I am using a CPU Ryzen 3 3200g paired with an RX570 4GB Pulse on my 

A320M S2H MOBO. Please feel free to ask more question for useful advice

Should be plenty safe, however the more effective way would be to get Thaiphoon Burner and Ryzen DRAM calculator as every IC on RAM is totally different.

 

It’ll start getting dangerous for the RAM once you start going over 1.5v without any cooling on it.

I have seen those programs on the YouTube Tutorials but I'm afraid I would mess up so much that I can't turn everything into default. But it seems

the BIOS process is safe as u said and I can still boot up to my windows which means it's stil safe on the numbers I applied. Did my process 

improve my performance on games for that fps gain  or Is it still necessary  to do what u said about those programs to be more effective?

If you want keep 3200 

Test with memtest86 

If it wasn't stable up the voltage for the soc to 1.1 and then for the most part it should be good

Is there a in depth tutorial on YouTube how to test the voltage if it's in safe temperature? Srry for asking cause I'm just a newbie in overclocking RAM

to get what the performance I paid for

To put it simply 

Anything over 1.4 is a red flag 

Just make sure that you don't have an over clock on your cpu because what will effect your interconnect's performance and up the soc voltage to 1.1 

Anything over 1.1 Is not advised

I saw on the BIOS on my CPU tab that says SOC volt but I didn't bother changing it.  I think the last time I saw the value was 1.00 so what your trying

to say is in order for my overclock RAM settings to be working is I also need to turn up SOC volt on my CPU  from 1.0 to 1.1 for the changes to take effect?

You won't necessarily have to but there will be a 90% chance that you will 

Zen 1 has a terrible imc so setting your soc voltage to 1.1 will help

So in this case my Ryzen 3200G is a Zen 1 Processor? so to put it simply I will need to change the SOC volt and

everything is overclocked properly from this point. So sorry for asking more and more questions as our convo prolong but 

I just needed to make sure I am making the right changes. BTW what games do u play? Let's play together via steam or other

game launchers which we have similar games hope so hehe.

You mentioned IMC earlier. Is that the circuit on the motherboard for the connection of the cpu to the ram slots to connect?

I just want more facts about tech from this point lol. I haven't change the soc colt yet maybe later.

No lol 

The imc is the integrated memory controller

Hello again dude, I didn't manage to change the soc volt of the cpu to 1.1 cause it won't let me but Instead I saw it at 1.092volts and also

while I was checking my BIOS is the DVID also the cpu speed? It was set to auto but I didn't want to change it to 1.1 maybe it was something else

Idk lemme know I did not touch anything yet I just want confirmation first please reply

Dvid I basically the difference between your current VID ( the voltage your cpu wants ) and the max voltage your mobo can supply I suggest leaving it at auto

So in conclusion I can't touch my soc volt on my cpu for some reason maybe because of my mobo limiting the voltage it's a gigabyte btw. I think I will be

getting more performance now since I turned the speed and power of my RAM earlier. Ty dude u helped a lot hehe won't be needing that soc volt 1.1

anymore cause of mobo problems I guess

Well yes I just noticed it's an a320 mobo

Yes you won't be able to overclock with a 4 phase vrm solution

Pretty sure the 3200G and 3400G are Zen+, not Zen 1 so that’s false info, Zen+ is hard to get to 3600MHz RAM. The 2200G and 2400G are Zen 1, in which case is hard to get to even 3200MHz without Samsung B-die.

 

Here’s the proof:

Please do research on it before posting false statements, therefore misinforming people in the process.
