Overclocking Ram And Cpu
Overclocking Ram And Cpu
Hello everyone, I was wondering if it's feasible to increase the overclock of the Ryzen 5 1600 to 3.6ghz. This is the boost clock setting I've been trying to reach, but the system keeps restarting after I try to overclock and then I have to reset the CMOS. Also, the RAM is running at 1054MHz instead of the factory 3000MHz. I haven't adjusted the CPU voltages and my PSU is a Seasonic Focus Gold 550W. The motherboard is an Asrock AB350 Pro4, the RAM is G.Skill Aegis 8GB DDR4-3000MHz (F4-3000C16S-8GISB), and the GPU is RX 580 with 8GB at stock speed.
There are variations in how certain software interprets RAM speeds. DDR means Double Data Rate, but many programs simply grab the BIOS data without actually measuring the RAM. As a result, you might see the RAM listed at 2133MHz. Other applications, such as cpu-z, check and display the actual data rate, which for DDR4 should be around @1067MHz (±). You won't find 3000MHz unless you adjust the default RAM speed settings to xmp/docp for optimal performance. This adjustment is meant to be automatic, though some RAM modules might not need manual optimization and could settle at 2933MHz. You might also experiment with adjusting the voltage or CPU settings.
