[SOLVED] Overclocking memory to 3200mhz

[gusnd]

I bought two 3000mhz GEIL, I'd like to OC them to 3200mhz since it is the best clock for a Ryzen 2 CPU, can I leave at 3200mhz or should I turn it off when it is not needed?

Overclock to 3200 and test with memtest. If it doesn't fail or BSOD and stay stable then keep at 3200mhz as there's really no reason to revert back.

Did you buy them in a kit or separately?

Bought them in the same order, but it was not a kit, two separate boxes

So while it may work you should of bought them in the same kit as they would of been tested to work together at the rated speed. While it's kind of rare those sticks may not even run at 3000.

I'm testing now playing Apex and seems ok, no crashes

Is XMP enabled in the BIOS? Did you attempt the overclock yet?

 

[gusnd]

I changed it from 3000 to 3200 in the BIOS

is there any other setting I should change?

Looks correct.

Did you manually set the voltage or is it on auto?

As long as it's stable and no BSOD's I think you got pretty lucky on getting both memory to run overclocked.

is on Auto. BTW, I could notice some improvement in the FPS already

Yeah, even going from 3000 to 3200 should provide a increase in FPS or minimal dips. I did some testing going from 2133 to 3200 on a Ryzen 2600 and the difference could be as high as 25 FPS. Even dips were affected, 2133 had frequent dips that were like 15-20 FPS dips and they happened often. When brought up to 3200 the dips were minimal, like 7 FPS tops and rarely occurred.
