Need help memory overclocking

[vishy92]

Hey!

 

I have never overclocked memory before. I read a few articles and just started hammering away timings. I have no idea where to go from here. Any advice?

My memory F4-3200C16-8GVKB (16-18-18-36). Its an old module (Hynix CJR i think). I started by increasing vccsa to 1.2v and vccio to 1.15 and dram voltage to 1.4. I have a pretty conservative 4.9Ghz OC with a 45x cache ratio on a 9600k.

 

Bios settings

 

Aida 64 benchmark:

3200 CL 16 stock (560tRFC)
3200 (14-15-16-36-CR1 416tRFC) havent touched anything else. 14-15-15-36 didnt boot.

What timings are worth changing? I dont want to spend a very long time adjusting it. Are these voltages safe? 

Should I up the frequency? What gives the biggest performance boost usually.

for intel latency isnät as big as on ryzen. try to oc the speed (mhz) of the ram. 

those voltages are kinda high but still more on the safe side.

mayby try to get to 3600mhz on stock latency. or even higher

I see. I just saw some benchmarks that showed big performance improvements from only tightening the timings. Since I am cpu bound in a few games with a 2080S I thought might aswell give it a go. My 9600k cant do 5ghz on an acceptable voltage.

What voltages should I aim for daily use? I'll try lowering it to something more reasonable and try to increase the frequency.

Safe up to 1.5v (I think?), but best would probably be around 1.45v.

Just curious, what resolution and settings are you using?  RTX?

1440p 144hz. RTX 2080 Super. I try to go for roughly that fps with the settings. I would use ray tracing, but its still a joke and barely anything supports it lmao. We will see next console generation

After wasting my entire day yesterday this is what I found stable. vccsa 1.2 vccio 1.5 and dram voltage 1.45. I think I could lower these, but I wasted enough time on it for a day. These are memtest 500% stable.  Is it worth to increase tcl and command rate and go for higher frequency? On CR1 this is the highest it I could go while still keeping tcl on 16. 3866 boots into windows, but with these timings is not memtest stable and I have no idea what to change. Where do I go from here? Any tips tightening the timings? Should I try for higher frequency? Are my voltages daily usage safe? (Found a lot of conflicting info about this). Its hynix CJR, Rank1, A0 (10 layer) 3200CL16 at stock

you can try to increase them but i think that, that memory oc is pretty good.
