gskill ram OC

[han_han08]

hi, im using 2x2gb ddr3 1600 gskill ripjawz..

 

i was wondering if OCing them to higher clocks would actually benefit me..

i've been tinkering the bios for some time and i think it's just a matter of selecting higher frequency that will do it..im just unsure of what will happen.lol

 

thanks

for Intel system

 

the gains from OC RAM is hardly noticable

 

maybe only 1fps gains

 

 

maybe for AMD APUs

 

every MHz gain counts

Just don't even bother, it's not worth it. Adjusting RAM timings and frequency ends up messing with other components and causing more problems and giving next to no benefit in general/gaming pc performance

I have never experienced a good RAM OC that has benefited anything...

Post a link to the kit you have.

 

In memory intensive applications and certain games you will see some performance increase but there aren't that many that relay on it.

Only if you have apu... useless in anything else probably... you wont see much difference

I overclocked my RAM to 2133mhz from 1600mhz and it feels better. Probably just a placebo effect.

thank you for the replies..

not an APU right now, so I guess there's really no benefit..

 

just a placebo effect afterall..lucky I didn't buy those higher ram speed kits and paid a premium for something that's really nothing.lol
