I have an A320M-S2H motherboard and want to know how for I can push my 2666mhz corsair vengeance 16gb kit in terms of frequency and what voltage to run it at.

 

    it's at 2866mhz at the moment ,I didn't want to go higher because I don't have much knowledge in the realm of overclocking.

 

     I've been on YouTube but can't find people saying how for it can go.   

 

 

  Thank you.

RAM overclocking is governed by the silicon lottery, just like with CPUs and GPUs. How far you can go is only knowable by actually doing it. You also have the memory controller on the CPU and the quality of the motherboard as important factors, too, and again there, your milage will vary. Also, RAM overclocking is notoriously difficult when it comes to determining stability. It will probably involve many hours of work.

 

If you're okay with this, then you can increase the frequency incrementally until the system fails to boot, then go back down one level and check stability. If it's unstable, go down one level and try again. Rinse and repeat until you have stability. Then you can start on tightening timings.

okay, but that doesn't change the fact it's silicon lottery as mentioned.

You may need to do a CMOS reset to get back into the BIOS. Maybe not, but that would be worst case.

Be sure to QUOTE or TAG me in your reply so I see it!

Above 2800, focus on lowering latency instead of increasing frequency. You might get more tangible results, and you definitely don't want to sacrifice much latency for MHz.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
