Help optimizing RAM X470 R7 2700X

[JPStone]

Just upgraded my RAM (both in quality and in amount) went from 16 gigs of Patriot Viper Elite (two 8 gig DIMMs) to 32 gigs of G-Skill Trident Z RGB (four 8 gig DIMMs). Out of the box it was stable. I then tried XMP 2 profile (3200 MHz) and was getting BSOD every time I booted. I went to XMP 1 and then it was initially unstable but I tried tighten up the timings (14-16-18-38) and its stable or seems to be (it survived 3-4 mins of prime95 torture test mixed)

 

Wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to try and push it to 3200 or if it would even be worth it. I have OCd CPUs plenty but never messed with memory much so any tidbit would help. Thanks friends.

See if SOC voltage up to 1.2V help stabilize things.

I'll try that thanks.

get your voltage up to 1,2. but ram speeds aren't giving that much more performence when overclocked. just watch linus his video if you don't believe me

I believe you. I saw the video that's why I was wondering if it is even worth it. I went from a Cinebench R15 score (Multicore) in the mid 1400s to the high 1800s just from swapping the cheap-O ram for quality stuff....well and it is running a 500 MHz faster than the old memory with tighter timings. Maybe ill try to bump the SOC voltage a tad but really if its working well now and working better than what I was getting before that was the goal of the switch.

if you want to, you can do that. just watch out with your warrenty, gskill isn't that easy on you with rma's of overclocked ram

Duly noted. Yea maybe ill just leave it on XMP 1 with the timing the way they are and be happy  Thanks

that's the most important about it. it's not what you have, it's that you're happy with it. before i had this pc, i have always been happy with whatever crappy equipment i was using and i can sometimes still be. have fun!
