Overclocking DDR4 Ram Ryzen HELP!

[Tahmidc]

Hi guys,

 

So I'm trying to OC my Ram. I am running 8GB X 2 at 2400mhz with 16-16-16-39

 

I have tried 2999mhz at 20-20-20-47 and 3200mhz at 21-21-21-52 with 1.35volts and neither of them have been giving me better FPS in game benchmarks or cinebench scores.

 

I'm using an ASUS motherboard, I'm wondering if I haven't turned something off or on which is what is degrading my performance.

 

These are the only changes I would've made when I did the OC.

You likely wont see any change with those loose of timings.. you likely wont see any appreciable difference once you cross the 18-18-18 mark at higher ram speeds.

If you increase clockspeed, but loosen timings, then they'll pretty much cancel each other out.

I see, I was using a spreadsheet which calculated the timings needed to obtain the clocks. Can you recommend me some timings / frequency.

best way is to leave at stock timings and voltages and just bump the frequency up one notch. Continuing doing so until you can no longer boot into windows. At that point, up the voltage to 1.35v which is the maximum safe voltage. After then, then rince and repeat and loosen the timings only one at a time until you come to a level you want or can not go any further. I wouldnt try and push your timings beyond 17 personally. Beyond that, you will likely cancel out any measurable gain from frequency increases.

What frequency do I put it at?

2400 is your base right? Just keep upping it by 1 and seeing if you can boot into windows. If you can, fire up Aida 64 and check these options and run it for like 30 min to test stability. If good, up it again. To fully see if its stable and good, Give Aida 64 a good couple hours of running to make sure no hangs up or crashes or blue screens. Would think 3-4hrs should be sufficient.
