Overclocking the 3000MHZ CL16 RAM to 3400MHZ is a common question.
Overclocking the 3000MHZ CL16 RAM to 3400MHZ is a common question.
Hello! Your curiosity caught my attention. Yes, this is genuine. I have no idea how I managed to push my OLOY 16GB 3000MHZ CL16 RAM up to 3400MHZ, but I tried 3066 and it didn’t work. I’m worried about damaging the RAM if it overheats. I’m curious if I can reach 3600MHZ and this will be a topic we keep discussing. Please keep the MODS from deleting. RAM details: OLOy DDR4, 16GB (2x8GB), 3000 MHz CL16, 1.35V, 288-pin desktop gaming UDIMM (MD4U083016BJDA) available on Amazon.com.
It's not unexpected, but you should verify the timing with the CPU Z or using ASRocks timing tooler. This clock speed would be useless if the timing is too loose.
I understand, I've never used Task Manager for validation before. CPU-Z displays the actual RAM speed in use, including timings and performance metrics. Keep in mind it only reflects speeds at half-speed (like 3400 if it's 1700) since we're dealing with DDR4, where the key aspect is DDR. Open CPU-Z, check the timings, and consider using ASRock's timing configurator—it can assist you in adjusting settings as needed.
The specified timing is not matching the expected values. Your module was originally rated for DDR4-3000 with various timings. Currently, with DDR4-3400 and DDR4-3800, the actual timings are different. The "1800" setting likely refers to a different configuration or environment. Also, confirm whether your CCX/Infinity Fabric is synchronized correctly with your DRAM. If your DRAM isn<|pad|>, ensure it aligns with the intended settings.
