Question Can i overclock ram on another motherboard

[chriswa2002]

Hey, so i bought some 3200mhz ram and it turns out, my hp motherboard does not have memory overclocking options, (its a prebuilt pc) the default ram 2x4gb 3200mhz was indeed at 3200mhz. But i don't wanna replace the motherboard and EVERYTHING, so can i go to a computer center and ask for someone to overclock the ram? if the ram is overclocked on another motherboard will it stay the same speed when i put it in my motherboard? The reason i want to do this, is to check if the ram speed is affecting gpu usage, since the gpu usage is not reachong 100% in some games. Thanks for helping in advance!

No.
The OC settings are held in the BIOS, on the motherboard.

The RAM itself knows nothing.

Would i have to replace the motherboard? Is there any type of ram that comes at 3200mhz as default?

Is there any type of ram that comes at 3200mhz as default?

Which would have to be supported by the motherboard.
Which it probably does not.

does ram speed really affect gpu usage so bad? does it even affect it? i just wanna know that..

What are the parts in this system?

A Ryzen CPU is much more affected by RAM speed than an Intel.

1660super
ryzen 5 4600g
16gb ram stuck at 2133mhz
m.2 ssd

(the cpu is not making any bottleneck, in pubg for example gpu can reach 100% while the cpu is at 40%, the cpu is really really good. In csgo the gpu runs between 60 to 80 and cpu 20-40~ with 200fps.

Well, yeah. That RAM needs to be faster.

But if you can't do it with your motherboard, you don't have a lot of options.


But...if you're getting 200FPS, leave it alone. Enjoy.

yeah, but only in some games, in csgo its perfect, in pubg, perfect, but in some other games it does not reach 70%
