Overclocking ram

Hi im Aurora · July 13, 2018

Afternoon Everyone from South Africa.

PC SPECS:

Ryzen 5 1600 overclocked to 3.8ghz 1.3v

Msi B350 PC mate motherboard ( https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-PC-MATE.html)

Palit Jetstream GTX 1060 6gb

So i recently got into overclocking and i enjoyed making some benchmarks when i overclocked my ryzen cpu to 3.8ghz on 1.3v

GPU is overlock to 210mhz on core and 500 on memory

I want to know, will overclocking my ram make a difference? and if it will how do i overclock my ram? i am scared of overclocking ram i am gaming @ 1080p 180hz monitor. i have these memory kits. https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-288-Pin-Desktop-Memory-F4-2400C15D-16GFX/dp/B06ZZ7QS6L

Could anyone help me?:)

you go into bios and you mess around with the ram settings. These sticks of DDR4 are not very good. Thats really odd, I never knew GSkill made such slow rams. IMHO, these rams can be overclocked to ~2666hz with slightly lower CAS latetency. So right now, it is at 15-15-15-39, I think this can be tightened to 14-15-15-36 @ 2666 (wild guess btw)

Overclocking rams will help you get achieve a higher performance. More specifically, it will prevent sudden frame drops from happening less frequently. To be more specific, having faster rams 1) will increase your max FPS 2)may marginally improve your average FPS however, it will reduce the frequencies of framedrops.

Hope this helped bro.

p.s. on a side note, I noticed that you have a 180hz monitor. I think your GPU is a bit too weak for such a great monitor. You might need to bump up to geforce 1080 to fully utilize your impressive monitor.

Thank you for sharing your information.

I thought G-skill Flare X memory is the best for Ryzen Chips, thats why i bought them

Also i thought i would be able to overclock them to 3200mhz.

I am planing on upgrading to the gtx 1080 or the GTX 1070ti end of this year.
