Let's dive into actual RAM overclocking.
Let's dive into actual RAM overclocking.
I tackled a related subject earlier, but my assignments are still fresh and I’m encountering some puzzling "WHEA" warnings that don’t affect performance. I haven’t done it yet, but I’m planning to try overclocking my RAM now.
Questions:
- Do I have two 8 GB Vengeance LXP 3200 units and two 4 GB Vengeance LXP 3000 units? Can I combine them and still reach around 3400 MHz? Or is it not worth the effort?
- What improvements could I realistically expect if I boost my 3200 to over 3400 MHz? How significant would that be in terms of speed?
It's achievable with determination to push performance significantly—boosting from 2400 to 3000 MHz. However, combining different setups isn't ideal; mixing can cause issues. I recall encountering a BSOD after roughly an hour when using mismatched configurations.
Here’s a clearer version of your message:
I understand the information you provided. It makes sense to start by changing the lower RAM first, rather than trying to guess what works best. It seems more practical to focus on the RAM that’s already installed before adding more. If there are any benefits to increasing it to 16GB, it should be enough. I wasn’t sure at first, but now I see. For guidance, you might try using XMP settings or the "try it" option in MSI Auto OC for Ryzen RAM. If that doesn’t help, let me know. I also found a calculator, but it’s quite complex and didn’t seem helpful right away.
You mentioned having 2400 but it ended up at 3000 following the XMP process.
