Attempting to install 2400mhz ram
Currently at 2666mhz works fine without changing anything. Previously with an A320 board, I could go up to 2933 without adjusting settings. I’m thinking about switching to 2933mhz because my current setup uses a Ryzen 7 1700X and it would help performance. If I increase the timing, will it just be pointless? Also, would I even consider doing it? I understand the timing options but there’s a lot to decide.
Lutfij's system features a Ryzen 7 1700x with a cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO W/Dual fan. The motherboard is a Fatality Asrock AB350 Gaming K4, and the BIOS is fully updated to version 5.4. RAM includes Ripjaws V 2x4 at 2400mhz. Storage consists of an Hp 700 500gb SSD/HDD. The GPU is an EVGA 1070 SC, and the power supply is an EVGA 600 80+ Bronze. The chassis model is Fsp cmt, though it's not crucial. The operating system is Windows 10.
Ryzen tends to be a bit uncertain about overclocking RAM. Unless you also adjust CAS timings, you won't notice much gain.
Refer to the Wikipedia page on CAS latency for more details. Look at the chart on this wiki page to determine the best combination of MTs and CAS latencies for optimal performance... In your situation, consider using 2666 CAS with a 12 or 13 to achieve sub-10ns response times for your RAM.
12 didn't work but 13 also managed to affect the ras's matter.
Yeah, but you'll need a few apps...
