I just overclocked my 2400mhz ram to 3600mhz and its stable....

[Krakendakon]

Yo guys so basically i overclocked my 2400mhz ram to 3600mhz and TM5 tells me it is stable the voltage is 1.2v but idk if i can trust TM5 i will attach the log and screenshot of my bios.

Log.txt

what does CPU-Z say in windows, what stress test did you use to verify that you improved in performance

[Krakendakon]

i used TM5 memory test and im going to run memtest86 now i haven't tested my performance yet though, how should i test it?

[Krakendakon]

If you guys need to know my specs are the following

cpu: ryzen 5 3600 oc to 4.3ghz.

gpu: zotac minigtx 1060 6gb not yet oc but will do it soon

ram:  some cheap patriot 16gb 2x8gb stick kit sold at 2400mhz

mb: B450 AORUS Elite V2

psu: idk the brand since i havent seen it yet but 750w 80+ bronze i think

That's some big latency

[boggy77]

also it's not running dual channel

gaming FPS is probably the most practical way

CL 26, ouch. You might end up with worse performance. And single channel? That's no good. Make sure the ram dimms are not placed next to each other in your motherboard.

[Krakendakon]

it is not single channel though i have them both on channel a.

please use the quote button or we won't get a notification

 

if they're both in the same channel, they are in single channel. What you want is one in channel A and one in channel B. Going from your diagram, DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 are the best slots to use. The farthest right, and the one two slots to the left of it.

ok done it what now?

surprised that it booted in dual channel at that speed.

 

Stress test with your favorite games for a few hours, see if they crash. No doubt they'll have better performance due to the dual channel configuration but you should definitely try to lower the latency. If you can manage to get 3200MHz CL16 or 3600MHz CL18, that's quite good.

how do i lower the latency?

BTW its 1.30 am for me do you think i can just use prime95 somebody recommended it to me ill leave it on while i sleep if so.

The green ones are recommended. Long story short it's better for stability at high speeds.

In the BIOS, though some settings may not take.

You can if you like, and then test games tomorrow.

it seems like my best oc with low latency is 3200mhz cl18 is it good?

If that is stable, and the secondary timings are good too (so it doesn't say 18-25-25-58 like it would in the screenshot you shared earlier) then that is quite good performance.

what subtimings exactly should i get btw i have a choice between 3200mhz cl18 or 3600mhz cl20 what is better?

Looks good,

I recommend to test stability of the RAM with 3 hours of memtest86.

ngl im actually kinda surprised, see if they go lower to something like 16 18 18 38 with a small voltage bump

ok and stay at 3200mhz right?

yap, ud likely need like 1.35v, basically modern 3200 ram if u can run them at those timings.
