Overclocking and XMP
Overclocking and XMP
It's unlikely your RAM will drop below its maximum speed even with a high CPU overclock. The XMP settings are usually adjusted to match the CPU's capabilities, so they won't necessarily reduce below the CPU's actual limit.
Both upgrades won't make much of a difference.
The i7 warranty promises you can utilize your GPU to its maximum capacity even at stock speeds, with a speed of 4.5Ghz.
Increased RAM might slightly improve performance in certain games like GTA V, but the impact is minimal—2133 or 2400 will only noticeably change a few frames per second.
Your system will still deliver strong performance, so if you're seeing 70, 72, or even 75 FPS, you won't be able to tell without a frame counter.
there isn't a clear explanation for why it stays just above or below 2400.

no explanation for why it wouldn't drop below that level.
you might see a few MHz higher or lower than 2400, but it's not significant, not even close to hundreds.
i have a 4790k at 4.7ghz and can't maintain stable at 2400mhz, even with extra voltage for the memory controller.
kingston hyperx savage 2400mhz works fine, but the screen freezes and the computer restarts.
i end up in windows for about 3 to 4 minutes.
I hope everyone is using only multiplier for overclocking. Changing BCLK isn't advised because it impacts various system components like RAM.
The memory controller resides on the CPU, which increases the workload when running memory at higher frequencies. It's the CPU, not the memory, that handles this.
Return to standard speeds (or about 4GHz) and you might achieve memory speeds of 2.4Ghz, which could be even better.

i think you should stick to just using the multiplier for overclocking. changing BCLK isn't advised because it impacts various system components like RAM.
the memory controller is built into the CPU, which increases the workload when running memory at higher frequencies. it's the CPU, not the memory, that's affected.
try returning to standard speeds (or about 4GHz) and you might achieve memory speeds of around 2.4Ghz—or even better.

BCLK is set to 100 by default. 4.7ghz @ 1.29v
I hope you're relying solely on the multiplier for overclocking. Changing BCLK isn't advised as it impacts various system components like RAM.
The memory controller resides on the CPU, which increases the workload when running at higher clock speeds. It's the CPU, not the memory, that matters.
Return to standard speeds (or around 4GHz) and you might achieve memory speeds of 2.4Ghz or even higher.

BCLK is set to 100 with a performance of 4.7ghz at 1.29v.
Then increase to 4.5GHz and locate the maximum CPU clock speeds with memory clocked at 2400.
Although the i5 or i7 isn't overly affected by memory speed, their caching algorithms perform quite well.
By the way, the performance difference between 4.5 and 4.7 is minimal, making it unnecessary except for "I have this big e-pin"

I’m sure you’re relying solely on the multiplier for overclocking. Changing BCLK isn’t advised since it impacts various system components, including RAM.
The memory controller resides on the CPU, which increases the workload when running memory at higher frequencies. It’s the CPU, not the memory, that matters here.
Return to standard speeds (or around 4GHz) and you might achieve memory speeds of 2.4Ghz—or even faster.

Then increase to 4.5GHz and locate the highest CPU clocks where memory runs at 2400.
Although the i5 or i7 isn’t overly affected by memory speed, their caching algorithms perform admirably.
By the way, the performance difference between 4.5 and 4.7 is minimal, so it’s only worthwhile if you have a significant e-pin.
What really boosts performance in gaming is a CPU speed of +0.2ghz or memory speed up to +267MHz!
