RAM Overclocking 2133 MHZ to 2666 MHZ.

[rei.dardha]

Hello,

I've recently added to my system 16 GB of RAM (concretely 2x8 GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 Mhz - https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00TY6A1LY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) along my previous memory sticks of 8GB (concretely 2x4 GB Kingston value RAM - https://www.amazon.it/Kingston-KVR21N15S8-Memoria-ValueRAM-Non-ECC/dp/B00WUPU0O4). So practicly my OS now successfully runs on 24 GB of RAM on their basic advertised speeds of 2133 Mhz.

Basically I want to overclock all of my RAM sticks to perform on 2666 Mhz and I just want some guidance regarding recommended timings and voltage to achieve this speed value.

Thank you !

Then you should have bought 2666MHz RAM. Don't expect RAM to be able to run faster than rated. Specially not when mixing up RAM. You can try though but you will have to experiment with it yourself as no one can tell you what timings to use, but i can tell this much, that you will have to set them slower than rated and also have to raise the voltage.
