Overclocking help with ram

[Famalam]

Here is my setup:

Hi, firstly here is my setup:

CPU: Intel i5-8600k 
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE Z370P D3 LGA 1151

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB MINI ITX

RAM: 16GB DDR4 Ram 2400mhz

Storage: 256GB SSD 
1TB HDD
500GB SSD 

Operating System: Windows 10 Home

Power supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 650W Power Supply 

Question is will I be able to overclock my ram to 3000mhz at 1.35v and run stable??? Just need a general answer

There is no general answer except "it depends on your module".

Is this kit rated to do that from the factory?

[airdeano]

prolly not as those kits are binned in a lower domain and 2800 would be a stretch at 1.45v not 1.35v.

your mobo VRM won't like you too much punching high-voltages and has a thin margin of error.

Ya apparently it has good cooling

then just enable XMP profile and you're good

not sure why VRMs are related in terms of overclocking memory. All motherboards (excluding prebuilts) overbuild memory VRMs because they simply reuse components on the Vcore.

I am running from 2400mhz 1.2v to 2666mhz to 1.25 v.

Do you think I will be fine??

Here is my ram:

Also here is the guide I followed:

Then it's NOT rated to do this...

 

You can try though. Dont use BCLK like Kitguru did, just crank the memory multiplier. Btw setting DDR4-2933 rather than the default DDR4-2400 is already cranking up the memory multiplier.

 

Voltage wise, this stick should easily handle 1.35v

CL16 at 2400MHz gives little room for OC to 3000MHz especially if it isn't Samsung B-die. Even if you manage to get it to 3000MHz at CL18 or CL19 the trade-off in the loosened timings are not worth it just to get 600MHz more out of your RAM.

 

Personally, I have a 4400MHz CL19 rated kit and I have use 1.4V to hit a stable daily of 4000MHz CL16. That doesn't mean you can't try though, tightening the timings or a little bit more clock speed is always good. You can use stressapptest to verify the stability of your memory.

 

For using stressapptest:

- Download Linux Mint here -https://linuxmint.com/download.php

- Format utility (ISO to USB) - rufus (open sourced) -https://rufus.akeo.ie

Use the format utility to get a copy of linux mint on your thumb drive.

 

Getting google stressapptest:

- Open terminal

- "sudo apt-get install stressapptest"

- 1 hour stressapptest with settings recommended by Raja@Asus-> "stressapptest -M 14500 -W -s 3600"

 

Up to 1.5V Dram should be safe for daily use but beyond that is not recommended.

Im stable perfectly at 2666mhz with 1.3v and its been running good

Also dip the timings if possible
