Help Overclocking RAM

jacobgoblin · May 25, 2015

Hey guys, this is my first time overclocking. All was going well. I got my CPU up to 4.5ghz, increased the voltage a little, and it was perfect. Then I moved on to the RAM. I have 16gb HyperX Fury. It is stock 1866mhz, and my motherboard supports up to 2133. So I turn it up, save, and exit the bios. I then get an error screen from windows saying my PC needs to be repaired because of a missing or damaged file. I did some googling and found a few people had the same issue linked to changing RAM modules, so I put it back down to 1866 and booted perfectly fine. Anyone know a way I can get around this issue, or is my RAM just stuck at stock speed?

I think you should just stick with 1866. Also this video:

Depends on how much your motherboard will allow you to overclock both the CPU and RAM together, and how compatible they are together. Take the CPU down to stock, try oc the RAM and then see if it will boot. If it doesn't then you know your RAM is stuck at stock

Edit:

It's not needed anyway tbh. Look here
