I wanted to share my first manual memory overclock with G.SKILL F4 DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB. I wanted to do it just for fun to see what I could squeeze out of it. Original XMP profile was 3200mhz at CL 16 & 1.35V with a latency bench of ~52ns. My final overclock before I ran out of time and the one that had successfully done 4 passes on MEMTEST86 was running at 3600 mhz at TRCL 17, TRCD 20, TRP 20, TRAS 43, & 1.4 V with a bench of 47.5 ns. I had my TRAS on auto and it defaulted to 43 so I kept it there, not sure if I tightened my ram latencies correctly but seems very stable. I know generally your suppose to start decreasing TRCL and TRP by 1, test, then decrease TCRD by 1, test. Keep repeating these steps till unstable, then backtrack to stable. Then tighten TRAS starting with the sum of all three and going down with each test. I really did not know how to adjust voltages properly so I looked up other overclocking tests and rounded up as long as it was below 1.5 V. Please let me know if you have any tips or pointers or critiques.
