ram memory Should I overclock my Ram? What would the effects be?

[Justasking]

So I was wondering if overclocking my ram makes any sense. I have 8 GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 Goodram memory(2 DIMMs, each 4 GB), maybe CL 13 or so. How would it effect performance of my PC if I overclock it somehow? Would overclocking it make sense?

On intel, wouldn't matter too much. 

 

On AMD, faster frequencies do help.

I have an intel i5-6402P

Overclocking ram always helps, just how much varies. Of course, don't bother overclocking if you are satisfied with your performance, unless you'd like to know how to do it for the sake of it.

I have literally never heard of this CPU. Nevertheless, overclocking ram probably isn't what's holding you back if you aren't seeing top tier performance.

I would like to learn how to do it. Could you help? At christmas I will upgrade, and I will overclock for sure then

Its not about performance that bothers me, I just wanna learn and try new stuff

 here is a tutorial for overclocking ddr4 on skylake.

Oh then yeah, it's not a bad skill to have. 

I'll leave the rest to jay.

Be warned that overclocking ram is more risky than overclocking the CPU. If the CPU crashes, it is unlikely to cause much data corruption. If ram is unstable, you can corrupt your stored data. Keep that in mind if you decide to go ahead.

I tried in different ways, but it didn't work, tho I think I successfully set it to run on CL 12

"Goodram" isn't exactly a big name brand, so I wouldn't expect it to be able to run above its rated speed of 2133. Good job getting the timing down though, that impacts latency quite a bit.
