Overclocking ram

[Darell3]

I have overclocked my ram from 1333mhz to 1600mhz, without voltage changes. How do i test if its stable? Im using kingstons 4gb 1333mhz non ecc ram. Only using 1 DIMM. All i did was i bumped the DRAM freq to 800 will i notice any performance increases? In games etc..

Run Prime95. RAM doesn't really affect gaming performance.

How long do i have to run it for? I have ran prime95 for the last 1 hour, it seems fine.

It's probably fine then. 1333 to 1600 isn't a big stretch anyway.

Wat if i bump the DRAM freq to 933 (1866mhz)?

Memtest86 is the best way, but it takes a pretty long time.

You will feel pretty much no performance difference no matter what speed your RAM is running at.

Prime95 is really all you need for testing system stability. I'd recommend Memtest though for checking for faulty RAM.

How did I miss a memory OC thread...?

I've been using HCI MemTest. It is way faster than Mem86 and P95.

There's also HyperPi, just run a 32M test, if it passes then you're pretty much golden. I do both.

You can also use LinX to test your ram to see if it is stable by selecting all the ram in LinX and running it.
