Memory Overclocking?

[tiggar47]

Do I have to run Memtest86 every time i increase frequency or just run "RAM Benchmark" within the Memtest86 without doing the full test of the memory.

Aka RAM Stability test.

If you want to play it safe, doing a stability test is your best bet.

Yes, but which one is the best?

I'm on AMD Platform btw.

prime95..check settings one of em is more ram orientated

best way to do it is push your ram until it doesn't even boot, then back off slowly until it boots, then run tests until its stable (going back a bit as necessary)

So if it's 1600 at 1.5v, I should put 1866 Mhz at 1.5V?

And so on.

If ram is designed to run at 1.5v, is it safe to increase voltage and to what point?

it depends if its ddr3 or ddr4, ddr3 up to 1.6-1.65 is fine.

1 try if 1866 with the stock timings works,

if it does try tighter timings 

if not increase your timings 

do a bench mark to test if your settings are improving perf 

if you can change blck do it as its very useful as sometimes you cant get 2000 but you might get 1950

I got 4.5 Ghz stable on my CPU, should I increase BCLK and decrease multiplier?
