Can swapping out my RAM influence my CPU overclocking?
Can swapping out my RAM influence my CPU overclocking?
Hello, here is the information you were seeking.
I'm asking about the title of your post.
You're considering adding new RAM with RGB lighting to match your PC's style, and you plan to increase your motherboard's clock speed to 3200Mhz (the maximum for your B350 Tomahawk). Your current setup includes a stable OC on a Ryzen 5 1600 at 4Ghz and 1.300 volts, with 2400Mhz RAM. You're wondering if upgrading to 3200Mhz will impact your overclocking performance and whether you should revert the clocks to default before proceeding.
Thank you for your understanding and for any assistance you can provide.

Ryzen gains a lot from quicker RAM, so yes, you could reach some faster speeds. Thanks for your prompt reply.
Should I begin anew just in case it becomes unstable?
You're right to start fresh and set everything to default, then gradually increase the clocks on both sides.

No, start fresh and default, then gradually increase the clocks on both.
