Manual overclocking??? [HELP]

[yuqisong]

Does anybody have the time to guide me on how to manually overclock my 2666mhz ram on my b350 motherboard? I bought the cheapest ram I could find online and it of course does not have an XMP profile. Would like to OC it to 3200mhz (if that's even possible) to gain some performance increase.

Overlocking RAM is one of the hardest things to attempt to OC... It can cause a lot of hard to diagnose issues that you wouldn't even think are RAM related at all.

 

I really wouldn't recommend trying to OC RAM unless you have a good idea of what your doing and really put in the time to figure it all out.

 

What are your other system specs? And what is your reasoning for thinking you need to OC the RAM?

 

If you want to do some research.... this is a good bit of info to start with: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4 OC Guide.md

You might be able to get it to 2800 if you're lucky, but going to 3200, nah, unless you really know what you're doing, it's just not going to go well

Not going to happen, the best you can do is 3000mhz.

I suggest having 1.35v to 1.4v  and timings set to auto.

Reading this... Yeah I don't think I'd be overclocking LOL

My only reason for attempting to OC is basically to gain framerate, I've seen some benchmarks comparing 2666mhz, 3200mhz, and 3600mhz on Ryzen CPU and there is a very noticeable difference.

There can be, but it’s all relative. What is your PC’s specs and what resolution are you running?
