This is related to an Alienware Aurora R10 I purchased a few months ago. Here are the system specs:
Ryzen 3800X, Liquid Cooled 1000W PSU, 512 GB Hynix NVME, 8GB HyperX Fury 2933Mhz RAM, RTX 2070 Super. When I bought the machine it was one of those flash deals and it did not allow to upgrade the RAM. So I went on Amazon and bought a HyperX Fury Kit 16x2 @ 3200Mhz. My problems began because of Dell's crappy designs that if I O/C in the BIOS to 3200Mhz, it will run fine but then intermittently I will encounter Cold Boot issues, including NO video or I am sent to the "BIOS Recovery" screen upon startup. If I O/C to 2933Mhz, all of my quirky Boot problems go away.
Now, the HyperX Fury Kit I bought directly from Amazon, I was told by a Dell forum member that they are memory kits from a few yrs ago, and I chose them because they run both 1.2v and 1.35v. The Alienware desktop OEM memory runs at 1.2v but I did not try and manually change the speed timings. I just took the default OC settings i.e. profile 1 in the BIOS.
When I was running the RAM at 3200Mhz I didn't notice if my programs launched quicker or my games felt any faster FPS wise. So my apologies for my long winded question, when it comes to games, is there a BIG difference running the system Memory at 3200Mhz or 2933Mhz?
