Looking for advice on your RAM's clock speeds?
Hello everyone, I hope everything is okay. Here are the details about my RAM. It seems to come from a questionable manufacturer, but I’m wondering if I can modify its settings beyond just XMP. Would it be worth the effort? Thanks!
It’s generally not advisable to overclock RAM due to potential issues like crashes, instability, long tuning sessions, memory problems, and various bugs. For example, I encountered a strange problem when first enabling XMP on my 3800x—my system would start but then fail to load Windows repeatedly, eventually corrupting the boot loader. Sometimes it worked at 3600 MHz, but after a restart, it would crash every time. Reducing the frequency to 3400 MHz helped occasionally, though restarts still caused failures. In games, I lost a few frames, but keeping speeds steady avoids these headaches. You should avoid tampering with instability during Windows updates.
