Hi,
I've been attempting to overclock my 2GB x 2.667MHz RAM using the BIOS settings, but each time I try something, the PC just restarts without showing anything. Both RAM sticks are from different manufacturers. I don’t want to cause any trouble, but here’s what I found and I’m unsure about the adjustments needed. I’d like to push them up to around 800MHz or higher, ideally between 1333MHz and 1333MHz for optimal performance.

The specifications are:
DRAM tCL – 5
DRAM tRAS – 15
DRAM tRP – 5
DRAM tRCD – 5
DRAM tWR – 5
DRAM tRFC – 44
DRAM tWTR – 3
DRAM tRRD – 3
DRAMtRTP – 3

Please let me know if you can assist with these settings and changes so I can finally get them running smoothly.
Thanks a lot!

Both RAM sticks come from different manufacturers.
It makes no sense to attempt to overclock modules from distinct companies. You could possibly boost one module, but not the others.
Your current hardware is quite outdated and might not support any overclocking. It's time to upgrade to more recent parts.

Hey, it's my old machine, and I'm trying to see how far it can go by overclocking. So far, the results are quite promising. I have a RAM stick from the same brand that's not being used much. With overclocking, games from this year are delivering around 30 to 40 frames per second, even on low settings.
My main aim is to safely push it without risking damage and eventually give it away to someone who really needs it—like a casual gamer, maybe someone playing PUBG.
You get my idea, it's just a fun project I'm enjoying with the PC.
