I increased my RAM's speed to the advertised rate and want to confirm it's actually quicker now.
Before overclocking: CAS: 15 clocks, RAS to CAS delay: 15 clocks, RAS precharge: 15 clocks, cycle time: 36 clocks, row refresh cycle: 374 clocks.
After overclocking: CAS: 16 clocks, RAS to CAS delay: 18 clocks, RAS precharge: 18 clocks, cycle time: 36 clocks, row refresh cycle: 390 clocks.
Speed and latency before: Memory read 31,113 MB/s, latency 76.5 ns; L1 Cache write 805.76 GB/s, copy 1610.70 GB/s, latency 1.2 ns; L2 Cache read 572.16 GB/s, write 254.53 Gb/s, copy 379.67 GB/s; L3 Cache read 211.82 GB/s, write 139.25 Gb/s, copy 166.33 GB/s.
Speed and latency after: Memory read 22,524 MB/s, latency 62.3 ns; L1 Cache write 805.80 GB/s, copy 1610.7 GB/s, latency 1.0 ns; L2 Cache read 573.71 GB/s, write 253.72 Gb/s, copy 368.18 GB/s; L3 Cache read 211.60 GB/s, write 138.99 Gb/s, copy 167.11 GB/s.
Since I'm using the trial version and don't have all fields per row, this data should help determine if it's faster now compared to before.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The read speeds are still slower, but I believe the overclocking reduced the latency, which is a positive outcome.

Verify your Cas and other RAM latencies, as this significant increase in frequency likely reduced many of the benefits gained from speed.

Review your Cas and other RAM latencies, as the significant frequency increase likely reduced many of the frequency-based improvements. Do you have any software suggestions for monitoring these changes? Thank you for your assistance!
