Ram overclock

[4gbRamStick]

Hello everyone I got a kit of 3200 MHz crossair vengeance ram and I figured out that it runs 2133 base so I entered the bios and moved it to 3000 but is that all that needs to be done with overclocking ram? I was not able to adjust voltage

No, what you need to do is enable the XMP setting. Just changing the DRAM frequency will likely cause your system to fail post.

if you are running RYZEN, 2866 at 1.37v with 16-18-18-36 timings will get you close to the rated speeds. vengeance RAM and RYZEN have some issues with the "3200mhz" rated speed. these are the settings that I spent 4 reinstalls of windows and 6 hrs of frustration precision tuning and have had many people have success with.

Do you know where I could find a guide for this? It seems to run at 3000mhz fine but only time will tell

Its literally right above the DRAM Frequency. Just click on the auto on the right and it should give you an option or 2 to enable XMP.

Oh ok that’s all? I do remember seeing that option. Sorry I’m a noob with overclocking

Yep, its that easy. If they give you more than 1 profile to select from, just select profile 1 and it should be good.

Setting XMP but having it still on 3000 will give you 3000 with XMP timings.

You will need to set the 3000Mhz you set to Auto, XMP settings will force it to 3200 if its on Auto and XMP is then enabled.
