If you want me to help, just click these three links that lead to safe newegg.com sites. Here is the RAM you have: 4x8GB modules, which equals a total of 32GB. https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-...klink=true Here is what I want to overclock my RAM for: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-...klink=true This is my Motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/asrock-x570-taich...6813157883 My CPU is a Ryzen 3900X. How can I get these sticks running at 3.6GHz with CL14 to run smoothly at 4.0GHz with CL15 or CL16 without crashing? Should I just manually go into the BIOS, set the speed to 4000MHz and increase the voltage to 1.5V, then change the timings to 15-17-17-37 and test it to see if it works? If not, can you help me please? Should I mess with other timing settings (probably not)? It's just a speed upgrade from 400MHz. Also, since your RAM doesn't say Samsung on it anywhere, how high do you think you could get the speed and timings for these sticks while still keeping them cool enough to run properly?
I saw this comment online and it fits my situation perfectly. It says trying to stay out of a 2:1 penalty is smart, but I think that penalty is worth avoiding. However, if you push past 3600-4000 MHz, the risk increases because then you might get penalized unless you go even higher into the 4200+ range. I might be wrong here though. Here are some spoilers: The new F4-3600X is actually just an older C model (F4-3600C) with higher voltage, which lets them sell it as a CL14. My experience shows that the best RAM for Zen 2 is 3600 CL14 with tight timings, or 3733 at 15ms if you can hit 14ms. Even 3800 isn't great because you might not get a perfect 1:1 ratio between FCLK and MEMCLK, and you probably can't tighten the timings enough to make up for it.
There are some people who try to overclock up to 4.2 gigahertz and say it's safe and easy. But they didn't push the CPU harder than necessary, which made it worse because it gets hotter. I mean, really, you haven't helped me at all here. If that is your only reply then this feels bad. Shouldn't I talk to someone else? Why are you just replying when I should leave me alone?
Where are those folks? Why don't we look at how they do an easy overclock?
I think this problem is fixed now. I figured out how to use that special tool. When my memory chip comes, I can save its XMP settings and put them into the calculator. Then it will tell me which other settings I can change. The whole work is done for me. My memory chips are Samsung B-die with CL 14 stock, so they should overclock well. And the calculator handles everything else too, even if you go over 3733 mhz and do that weird math stuff after 2:1.
To tell you the truth, if I were a moderator in this group, it looks super easy and everyone with some experience knows this has been going on for more than a year. The fact that rgd1101 couldn't even explain something so basic means they're not ready to learn.
