Need assistance with boosting RAM performance? Important details about the situation.
Hi guys. I'm looking for advice on overclocking my CRUCIAL BASICS 8GB 2666Mhz CL19 1.2V RAM. It's a green PCB with no heatsink, and I have a Ryzen 5 3400G. Since the VRAM is shared, stability is key. I'm planning to push it to 2933mhz, but I'm not sure what voltage adjustment to make. Also, I'm worried about damaging the RAM because it doesn't have a heatsink. Could someone please guide me? I don't want to risk breaking my computer. My system is an MSI B450 Pro with a max VRD of 120V. Thanks!
Ram is quite a challenge to work with, that's true. I personally don't like it and tend to keep a distance from it. Right now, I'm using a 5800x system with a 2666mhz clock speed, originally DDR4. After some adjustments, I reached 2733 and adjusted the timings to 12-12-12-30 at its default voltage. I found that going higher than that wasn't possible, and even reaching 2666 was sometimes unstable, mainly because of the command rate setting—set to 1 by default. Changing it to 2 helped me improve timing and speed a bit.
I'm still experimenting with my RAM, aiming for around 3000 or 3200mhz, but I'm learning more along the way.
Ram is quite a challenge to work with, honestly, and I usually avoid getting too involved. Right now I'm using a 5800x system with a 2666mhz clock speed, originally DDR4. After some tweaking, I reached 2733 and adjusted the timings to 12-12-12-30 at its default voltage. I found that going higher than that wasn't possible, and even changing the voltage didn't help much. The issue was mostly related to the command rate—set to 1 by default, but I changed it to 2, which allowed me to reduce timings a bit and increase speed slightly.
I'm still experimenting with my RAM, aiming for around 3000 or 3200mhz. Learning more about sub-timings seems key to unlocking higher overclocks.
