can i overclock vengence ram more than advertised

[pant.ko8]

i want to buy Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 2933MHz rams and use them on a msi x470 carbon pro mobo + r7 2700x..... i was wondering if i could oc this ram to 3200 mhz dispite they advertised as 2933mhz

Tge cpu supports easily 3200mhz ram but what i say is that my dims advertised as 2933 ans i want to clock them to 3200

YES, you can always overclock your ram.

The advertised speed when you bought your ram is the XMP profile speed of the ram. It is achieved by activating the XMP 2.0 feature in your BIOS.

However, you can custom overclock your ram even further. How far you get will depend on the unit you receive and this will be different slightly for everybody even with the same ram. You will have to increase Dram voltage more than the advertised voltage (for example, 1.37v instead of 1.35v as advertised).

Increasing the clock frequency (2933 Mhz) is one aspect. You can also look at tightening the timings while keeping the same frequency (i.e. CAS latency, etc....). There are many many variables you can adjust, just be sure to read up on them.

thank you very much .. you see im gona get them on sale for 99$ and the 3200 mhz in my country cost 152$ so its a big difference and 99$ for 16gb 2933 is a damn good offer for me so thank you thtran6 that was the answer i was looking for

Yup you're very welcome.
My current ram is ADATA XPG Z1 32 GB Ram (advertised at 2400 Mhz CL15). This speed runs at 1.2V.
I overclocked them to 2666 Mhz and tightened the CL (Cas latency) to 13.
When doing this, I had to increase ram voltage to 1.35V.

In case you're wondering about CL, it is quite important like ram speed. Reducing it would also be another way to overclock your ram. This is why you always see that for the same ram speed, the one with less CL will be sold at higher price. For example, 3600 Mhz CL 15 ram is faster than 3600 Mhz CL 19 ram.

After overclocking, it is strongly encouraged to use memtest86 (just google it) to stress test ram and verify stability.
Be careful do not stay with an unstable ram overclock, it will cause crashes

oh okey man thank you very much im gona find a good tutorial for ram oc and i think im gona get somewere... anyways thank you youve been very helpfull

If you have an msi motherboard it should be pretty easy. I overclocked my corsair vengeance 2666mhz to 3200mhz with literally one click, because the MSI bios has preset values for the timings for different speeds.
