Checking if you can boost your memory speed past what your processor is used to
Checking if you can boost your memory speed past what your processor is used to
Hi, I own a first gen Ryzen 1400 and AMD says it can handle RAM up to 2667 pins. My RAM sticks are rated for 3000 pins, which is higher than what my CPU likes. My motherboard has two XMP options: one at 2667 speed with 1.35 volts, and another at 2933 speed also with 1.35 volts. If I stick to the 2933 setting for both of these sticks while my processor only supports up to 2667 pins, will it hurt or be unsafe? What could go wrong if I do that? Thanks a lot in advance.
It could be steady or not, but if it actually functions, that's all good.
