Comparing the 3000mhz overclocked RAM to the original 3000mhz stock version
Comparing the 3000mhz overclocked RAM to the original 3000mhz stock version
Hi, i'm using a Samsung M378A2K43BB1-CPB with a B-die ram and two 8GB sticks on an Asrock B450m motherboard. The RAM runs smoothly at 3000MHz with a voltage of 1.30V and timing settings of 15-15-15-36. However, during a PUBG session yesterday, I observed lower FPS, ranging from 110 to 125, compared to the previous setup of 8GBx2666MHz which averaged around 130-150 FPS.
My question is whether overclocking the 3000MHz RAM gives different results than the factory stock speed. Is the factory version significantly better? Or is it mainly due to this game not being optimized for those settings?
My setup includes:
Ryzen 5 2600
Asrock B450m
1070ti
8GBx2 (M378A2K43BB1-CPB)
Hamdaniismail89 is testing their setup with a Samsung M378A2K43BB1-CPB, B-die RAM, and two 8GB sticks on an Asrock B450m motherboard. The system runs smoothly at 3000MHz with stable timing settings. While playing PUBG yesterday, they observed lower FPS (110-125) compared to a previous configuration using 8GB at 2666MHz, which averaged around 130-150 FPS.
They are wondering if overclocking the 3000MHz RAM gives different results than the factory stock. Are they expecting better performance with the stock speed? Or is it mainly due to the game not being optimized for that frequency?
Their setup includes a Ryzen 5 2600, an Asrock B450m, and 8GB RAM in two sticks. They believe the factory stock would be superior since it’s already running at the intended 3000MHz, allowing for further optimization.

My configuration includes a Ryzen 5 2600, an Asrock B450m, and 8GBx2 RAM. The factory stock would be ideal since it’s already running at 3000MHz, allowing further overclocking. For slower RAM, you can still try to boost it to 3000MHz, but this will require higher CL and DRAM voltage. In short, it’s a straightforward calculation:
- Stock 3000MHz → overclock by 200MHz to reach 3200MHz
- Stock 2400MHz → overclock by 800MHz to reach 3200MHz
Clearly, pushing the extra 800MHz will demand significantly more voltage from the lower RAM.
