Memory OC Adventure Log

[5GigsOrBust]

Before you read on, its not Ryzen so you don't care. I'm kidding.

Anyways, I found a 16gb kit of 4000 16-16-16-36 ram on amazon for $100. Obviously B-die, and obviously I had no choice but to buy it. Loaded it in, enabled xmp, aaaaaand............... the stock xmp profile is unstable. Not surprising for cheap B-die. So here we go on yet another memory overclocking adventure.  I tried a cl16profile I had saved after OCing my previous 4000 cl19 B-die kit, and it seems to work so far. I've had to loosen trfc & trefi because it won't pass memtest otherwise. Now it runs fairly stable at 16-16-16-34 with decent secondaries, except trfc & trefi. I'm curious about what others have been able to hit with trfc & trefi on B-die. Not sure why my kit won't go low on those two timings. 374 trfc & 30000 trefi are almost kinda somewhat stable, and even over 1.5v I can't tighten them at all. 15600 trefi is stable, but 19667 trefi is not. Makes sense.. Isn't ram overclocking run ?!

Your sure it’s the sticks and not the cpu to blame? Maybe your cpu needs a bump for the extra speed..

Have you tried manually keying in speed + main timings and letting the board sort out the subtimings itself? XMP can be funky with some boards/memory kit combos.

Idk, cpu is already maxed out at 5.1 allcore 1.32v core and 1.25 vccsa & vccio

Yeah that's what I tried first and it is stable, but the secondaries are loose on auto. I can tighten all secondaries except trfc & trefi.
