3-1000MHz RAM with DDR 3000MHz is possible
Hello everyone,
As you might be aware, certain B560 boards now allow overclocking RAM for i3 CPUs.
If I were to purchase the following RAM:
https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/gamin...0mhz&total (kit) capacity=16gb&kit=single module&dram density=8gbit
you'll see that the standard 2666 speed uses 1.2V, but when using the 3000MHz version, the voltage increases to 1.35V.
I'm curious whether this would put extra strain on the built-in memory controller of the i3. Because overclocking this CPU seems to be limited to Z MOBO's, I wouldn't expect much discussion about its safety elsewhere.
If it's safe, I believe this RAM is a solid choice since it includes two XMP profiles, which could be useful if some MOBOs restrict partial overclocking.
It's safe to say the memory controller tech will be similar to what's used on bigger chips. You don't need to maintain 1.35 volts; you can lower it until it starts to fail. The 3000Mhz speed isn't as impressive these days, but even with my 7th generation chip I kept it at around 1.25, it's been a while since I checked that.
