How to manually increase the clock speed of a G.SKILL TridentZ RGB series to 3200 MHz. (8GB x 2, 16GB total)
How to manually increase the clock speed of a G.SKILL TridentZ RGB series to 3200 MHz. (8GB x 2, 16GB total)
How to manually increase the overclocking of this RAM? It’s not running at 3200 MHz and I’m getting a Critical_error_Died error when trying to use XMP in Windows. That’s why I’m considering doing it myself. The model is F4-3200C14D-16GTZR with an Intel i7 7700K, Asus Strix Z270E, 16GB G.Skill RAM at 3200 MHz, a GeForce GTX 1080, and a 750W power supply.
Tested Speed 3200MHz
Tested Latency 14-14-14-34-2N
1) Switch Ai Overclock Tuner from [Auto] to [Manual].
2) Adjust DRAM Frequency from [Auto]; Auto will output 2133MHz.
3) DRAM Timing Control
Initial values are CAS# Latency at 14. Modify settings from [Auto].
Subsequent values remain 14.
Third value is 14.
Fourth value is 34.
DRAM Command Rate is updated from [Auto] to [2N].
Memory operates with 1.35v DRAM voltage at 3200MHz speed.
This configuration appears on page 33 of the manual; using [Auto] will restrict to 1.2v

I'm just checking the command rate details without disrupting the discussion. Also, regarding the Asus boards, the middle two digits are adjusted via the second setting, and there are only three numbers followed by a command timing choice.
Calvin7 tested the speed at 3200MHz and noted latency values. They adjusted the overclock tuner to manual mode, changed DRAM frequency from auto to 2133MHz, set timing controls with specific numbers, and confirmed the voltage requirement for 1.35v at that speed. They also mentioned encountering similar issues on an Asus Prime z270-A board and sought clarification on the COMMAND timing option Staplergun is referring to.
