Overclocking ram for Ryzen?

[Matthewv1998]

So i just upgraded from my athlon 860k to a 1700x with a asus x370 prime, ive been buying parts for it and to be safe i bought 2, 4gb sticks of hyperx 2133mhz memory. With ryzen i have seen from benchmarks that these chips can benifit massively from faster ram. So until i sell off my old rig i dont have any money for faster ram, i want to overclock mine

 

in my bios i know i can just turn up the frequency of the memory but is that there is to it? Do i need to adjust things like timing and voltages as well? Or is just turnig the frequency up good enough?

subbed for answer. baffling to me.

depending on how much faster your kit can be you might get away with just increasing the frequency, but you will probably not get away with it, and you will need to increase the timings little by little until it works, search for ram overclocking guides, most of what was applicable to ddr3 still is for ddr4 (except for voltages)
