[SOLVED] RAM 3200+?

[nbartolo7]

Hey guys,

I have successfully switched my RAM on my desktop from base frequency to profile 1 which everybody says gives it a boost. It now says it's at 3200. I've seen some youtube videos where expert pc builders put their RAM even a bit higher, like 3400 to 3600. Should I try that, and if so, under which circumstances?

Thanks a lot.

what is you RAM rated at?
Mine is rated for 3000, I have not been able to get any faster out of it. if your RAM is rated at 3200, leave it at 3200. overclocking RAM beyond its rated spec can be a fair bit trickier than setting a profile in the BIOS. those guys probably have DDR4 4000 RAM and have some leeway to play with as the RAM is not running at or beyond spec.

Depending on what memory kit you bought, you may or may not be able to easily overclock to higher than 3466MT/s because of limitations of the CPU memory controller. Even at 3466 you won't see much extra performance in anything that doesn't require high memory speeds. I would just leave it at 3200 if it works fine.
