Overclocking the cpu with PnP ram

[hristan0v]

Since I have never oveclocked a cpu, my question is the following: Is there any problem that the ram is PnP, rather than having XMP, and is it going to stay at 1600Mhz after the overclock (the ram is 1600MHz, and my MB supports 1600MHz without OC)? I know that I should turn off XMP while overclocking, but what should I do if I have PnP memory?

Note: I haven't got a memory yet, so I could spare a few bucks more and get a Savage one, if the Fury, being PnP, is going to cause troubles when overclocking.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97x Gaming 5
CPU: i7 4790k
RAM: (maybe) two 16gb kits HyperX Fury 1600MHz (HX316C10FRK2/16)

I read that the Savage one will have better OC headroom than Furys. Not sure if it will cause troubles with PnP though.

First the Savage are conventional XMP based DRAM and have nothing to do with PnP. Yes the Fury are PnP based. They will use PnP to automatically set them selves up to 1600 and will stay there if you OC the CPU. Depending on the individual sticks you might be able to manually OC them to 1866 for slightly better performance - or just get the 1866 Fury
