Increasing memory speed and adjusting clock settings
Increasing memory speed and adjusting clock settings
your ram supports up to 2666 mhz, but your ryan 5 2600 is likely running slower than that. you can try increasing the speed and timings in bios, though some settings beyond the first five may affect stability. the listed timings (16-18-18-18-38) are important for performance, but other parameters also play a role. check if adjusting them improves both speed and reliability.
A Ryzen RAM calculator provides a good estimate for initial settings. Check if your RAM supports an XMP profile, which is the simplest method for achieving consistent overclocks.
It’s set at 2666, but I need to push it higher. I’m unsure how much more I can increase it without overclocking too much.
The distance is influenced by the chips used. Just gradually improve one step at a time. Raising voltage can aid stability. Higher clock speeds usually result in looser timing and more voltage. Typically, an accepted voltage is around 1.5V, though 1.35V or less is suggested. Adjust clocks and voltage then fine-tune timing. Performance can vary; some users notice better results with tighter timing and lower clocks compared to wider timing and slower speeds.
