High frequency in excess of safe levels
High frequency in excess of safe levels
You risked damaging the RAM sticks and possibly other components by setting them to a higher frequency than intended. Changing the speed beyond the manufacturer's limits can cause instability, overheating, or failure over time.
Many users boost their RAM speed for better performance, and a 400MHz increase usually won’t cause any issues.
I’d still run tests with memtest86. Just loop for a short period each night. Just to confirm stability during the update.
Additionally, you're penalized for exceeding the speed limit...
