Is it secure to boost the DRAM in the C-die to 1.4 volts at 65°C?
Is it secure to boost the DRAM in the C-die to 1.4 volts at 65°C?
Hello, your setup shows strong potential but there are some important considerations. The 1.4V supply you mentioned could indeed stress the C-DIMM and raise temperatures significantly—up to 65°C, which might affect reliability. Most manufacturers recommend keeping it below 1.35V for long-term stability. The voltage boost might be pushing your system toward risky territory unless you're certain about the board's specifications.
Timing improvements beyond 3466MHz are challenging and may not yield consistent benefits. Higher voltages can help, but they also increase power consumption and heat. If you're targeting a Samsung B-DIMM (version 4.32), it’s likely designed for higher voltages, but confirm with the latest documentation.
For the timings, pushing further could be risky; consider sticking to the highest stable configuration you can achieve safely. If you want to explore 3600MHz at a higher voltage, ensure your motherboard and components are rated for that level. Otherwise, it’s safer to cap at 3466MHz with optimized voltages.
Let me know if you need help checking your board's datasheet or component ratings!
If memory isn't required, reduce to two sticks and check for overclocking potential. A 1.40v C-Die won't immediately damage them, but fans help. Cooler temps usually mean more stability. If speed isn't met, try 3200 and adjust the timing. 16-19-19 settings seem a bit too loose.
At 3466MHz it wasn't possible to publish during lower primary intervals.
Hey, I see you're having some confusion about your RAM setup. You mentioned using four sticks from Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB, but according to the screenshot and forums, they appear to be Samsung B-dies. However, some sources say your Corsair models are confirmed as C-dies across multiple platforms. The part numbers you provided match Samsung's specifications, so it seems the confusion comes from different listings or interpretations. If you're still experiencing issues, double-check the BIOS settings and ensure all sticks are properly seated.
I'm not sure what you're aiming for. It seems like any changes will make it very unstable... Do you know how an unstable RAM affects a running system? Also, that sounds intense—my RAM stays under 32°C even when overclocked. What's the full SKU?
Samsung model K4A8G085WB-BCPB and Corsair part CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 are both listed identifiers.
