Program to change RAM speed in windows

Not really a thing. The main reason is that changing the memory ratio (the thing that changes when changing the memory speed) requires retraining the memory to have any ounce of stability, and thus requires a system reboot. The closest you can get is BCLK overclocking, though this changes the frequency of everything in the system and you will need to compensate by changing the CPU ratio at the same time (this also usually requires having a board with an external clock gen, so a fairly high end motherboard) and gets very unstable very quickly when changing the frequency more than ~5% either direction. 

 

You can change most memory timings while in the OS though if you use a tool like ASUS MemTweakIt!, you just can't change frequency.

Hey,

Is there a program that allows me to change my RAM speed in windows like changing CPU speeds with Intel XTU.
This would be a nice tool for benchmarking stuff I do with some games that don't have build in benchmarks.

Thx.

Recent build: Fractal Design - Torrent review / Meshify C / The 1080TI Strix Noctua mod / Define S X58 Xeon build  / Specs: i7-14700KF 5.8Ghz - ASUS TUF RTX 4080 super - G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB 4000mhz CL18 -  Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X d4 - Torrent Fractal Design white - EVGA 850W Supernova G2 80+ Gold - Noctua D15
