help with overclocking memory?

[Azrielzx]

hi, i need some help with keeping my HyperX Fury RGB DDR4 2666MHz 16GB stable at 3000 mhz or higher, i dont really know much about overclocking but i've enabled XMP I in my motherboard: Rog Strix z490-f, at first i just enabled the xmp and put the frequency to 3000, ran fine for about 30 minutes before my game crashed. i've put it to 2900 now without any problems yet. but i hear people have been easily able to get it to 3200 mhz, how can i achieve this? i dont know anything about voltages etc. my cpu is the i5-10600k

Did people you hear from use HyperX Fury of the same speed or just HyperX Fury without mentioning the speed or at higher speeds to begin with? Cuz HyperX Fury is just a name, they do not refer to the stick's potential.

Try 1.4V memory voltage first. If it doesnt work, change timings to 16-22-22-42.

hi. they use the exact ram that i have. it was left by reviewers on the site. everyone had 3000 or higher mhz no problem and they reccomended it. 
ok nice, i couldnt figure out how to change the voltages tho. because it was greyed out in the bios. and which timings? theres like 20 different things to choose from what i could see. im a total noob in this department tho

Not saying it's impossible, but that's gambling

Greyed out place isnt where you change it, unless you're using completely the wrong board for overclocking (a Z chipset board). Would be good to see the BIOS screen though since I dont know what board you're talking about

 

As for timings, I'm refering to them as CAS-RCD-RP-RAS

i am using the Rog Strix Z-490-F motherboard, are you familiar with the bios on this board? i could take a picture of it and upload the screen here tho.

What's the model number of your memory??

How many sticks? Just 2x8gb for 16gb total? Be sure these are in slots A2 and B2. 

If you have to move the sticks, clear the cmos after you do so.

 

Decent board, the memory is meh. The timings are really loose for that low of a frequency and the Cpu memory controller may not like the sub timings of this kit. But, you can try using TaiphoonBurner to see some of sub timings and be sure to set them accordingly in bios if while set on automatic doesn't do so.

 

Also, Check and manually set the Vccio to 1.150v and you can safely use the same voltage for system agent as well. You will not need more than 1.2v, so if the board is past this on auto, do set it manually.

 

The memory shouldn't need more than 1.35v. But start at 1.30v. No need to create excess heat.

 

But with these sticks, I would start at 2667mhz and increase the frequency in increments. 

Either way, you'll want to manually set up this kit of memory. It's probably not going to OC really far and retain stability unless the sub timings are correct.

Okey, thanks for the helpful advice, unfortunately i dont rly get it, understandable if you cant be arsed explaining all of that and how to change it as i couldnt even figure out how to access the Vccio setting on my motherboard and, i found the timing settings but there are so many different ones i wouldnt know how to change them safely

Understandable. I think the best way is to research by watching some videos while typing it all out would be a book lol.

ROG boards should have red theme and this is an AM4 board but that doesnt matter, you can change it by just typing in a number
