hey guys,

 

Just wanted to know the affect ram speed had on overclocking. So for example, I have a 4790k and bought my self a z97-a and 2400mhz ram (2x8gb) when i go to overclock the 4790k how would it be different if i had 1600mhz ram. Is it bad? good? will it strain the cpus memory controller, does higher ram speed help the cpu reach higher clocks? etc etc.

 

thanks guys for any responses

All ram is rated for a CPU at stock speeds. So depending on your CPU overclock it can be varied. Most CPU's can handle up to 2400mhz ram with out it affecting Overclocking.

OVERCLOCK THOSE MOFOS TO THE MAX! USE LIQUID NITROGEN TO COOL SH!T UP!

Jking :D

 

It doesn't make any difference. Actually you having over 1600mHz is unnoticeable.

That is really varied since some games like faster memory, while others it doesn't matter if he ends up doing alot of work with Video editing, it can make a huge difference.
