Overclocking RAM for Ravenridge
Overclocking RAM for Ravenridge
How far can you push a 2400mhz ram on the R5 2400g? I’m not focusing on a particular type, though it will be budget-friendly (8GB for under $85). I’m looking for the best performance at the lowest cost. Also, what are the top speeds you could achieve by overclocking two such sticks?
DDR4 2400 ram is a stock model originally built for 2133 ram, operating at 2400 @1.2v. A slight increase may be possible at 1.2v. Beyond that, higher-speed RAM tends to be better stock options that can achieve greater speeds with higher voltages. It's uncertain how far your 2400 ram can go if you attempt overclocking. Keep in mind that the top performance levels are already occupied by more advanced variants. You might be lucky, but don't rely on it.

Keep in mind that the top performance levels are already filled in the higher-end chips. You might be lucky, but don't rely on it.
Based on your current plans and what you intend to use this system for in the near and distant future, it might be more advantageous to opt for a 2200G + 16GB of faster DDR4 memory that you can repurpose when you can afford a CPU and discrete GPU later.
