Ryzen Ram Overclock

[joshuawi99]

I just overclocked my 8GB G.Skill RipJaws V red DDR4-2800 Kit to 3200 Mhz at CL 20 20 20 40 Timings at 1.5 Volts and it seems stable with Memtest.

Tho i do not know if its worth to buy another 8 GB Kit for 90 Dollars or Buy a new G.Skill Trident Z RGB kit with Cl 14 14 14 34 Timings for 250$ and sell my originall 8GB Kit.

 

What do you think?

Idk if it's just me, but 1.5V sounds scary.

Also those timings look waaaay too loose. There's a point when increasing speed while loosening timings actually decreases performance.

I thought that too but some ryzen ram guides said that 1.5 V with good heat spreaders is okay for 24/7

statistically speaking, more RAM sticks are more chances to fail overclocking them. You got those 2800mhz sticks to run at a very loose 3200mhz. You may hit luck again or just fail an render your whole overclock invalid. Remember RAM must be at same clock to function. The weaker stick will determine your final result.

 

offtopic: Why would you want to overclock ram? Hard as f*k to diagnose even weeks after a successful overclock. And performance is margin of error at BEST.

I overclocked my ram because ryzen scales pretty well with frequencies up to 3200 mhz. Yeah i thought that silicon lottery aspect that u mentioned too. Soo i should invest in the new gskill 16 gig kit?

As long as it's on your motherboard QVL, sure.

 

QVL= Quality vendor list, for Ram compatibility.
