RAM overclocking

[simple115]

Hello guys, I have Pentium G4600 and Aseock H110 mobo. Lately i am very interested in memory overclock so i went into tue bios and enabled XMP. My memory is crucial 2x4 2133mhz with cl15.

 

First i tried 2400mhz and it worked. Also with that the cl increased to 17. After hour of testinf 2400mhz cl17 i again went into the bios and i lowered the latency. Nots it's 15-15-15-36 with 278 row refresh cycle time.

 

What do you think is this oc a good one or I can take the cl to 14 maybe ? Or should i even try to make it lower. I tested 2400mhz 15-15-15-36 for 10 hours.

I wouldn't bother going any higher, as you won't see much of a performance difference at that point, and your more likely to cause instability.

Yeaa I thought of that, but man i love pushing hardware to its' limits. And i'm not sure if this is a good oc like good results.

The fact that your overclocking anything on a H110 mobo is pretty amazing in itself.

you have a G4600, i really wouldn't bother overclocking the RAM, there's probably close to zero benefits in all situations.

when you have a powerful CPU, RAM overclocking then might be useful to a certain point.

that's XMP

@Qucd
think of it this way, RAM is always feeding the CPU data, faster RAM will feed the CPU more data and in a quicker pace, if your CPU can't handle the extra data then you're only force feeding your CPU and you're not gaining any benefit at all, the CPU will only ask for as much data as it can handle from the RAM.

Oh no, in PUBG I saw increase in FPS. Well not by huge margin but its there, i can feel it.

G4600 can handle it. It's written clearly in the specifications of the CPU. And also i saw increase in PUBG

PuBG loves memory bandwidth.
