Seeking assistance with Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro overclocking?
I'm trying to use a DRAM calculator to find the best settings for overclocking my RAM and improving performance on my Ryzen processor. The tool requests the die type, but Thaiphoon Burner doesn't provide that information. I have the label from my RAM module, but someone more experienced could help me figure out what I need. My system specs are: Ryzen 5 3600 boosted to 4.2 GHz, 32GB RAM, XMP 3200, RTX 3070 Ti, and a 850W Gold+ PSU.
I can't capture an image of the thaiphoon burner. However, you might try booting it with version 1.6v and see how it performs. If it doesn't work there, it's likely a faulty chip. But you should still be able to achieve around 3600 cl16 at about 1.35v (the ideal voltage for the chip). If it boots at 1.6v, it probably has a bad die. In that case, you could try a small overclock to 1.5v without a fan, or go with a 1.65v-1.75v boost using a fan (preferably under 1.7v due to heat and chip limits). For uncertain results, check other users' Corsair boards as references. If you have a chip, the BuildZoid has a video that might help.
Sure, enjoy testing your skills while pushing them hard without any cooling. If those specs are impressive, I’m sure you’ll dominate. Are you going to keep offering tips based on unreliable sources?
Some folks around here enjoy XOC, while others are just everyday people with nothing to do beyond normal life. It’s simple to assume XOC is everyday reality, especially when it comes to voltage. But things can go wrong.
The setup needs 2.1v+ to effectively eliminate the rams, though this might kill the imc first. A 1.65v setting will likely cause severe errors due to excessive heat and isn't worth trying without a cooling solution. Most trusted guides are hesitant to test real conditions, so we rely on others. The DDR4 OC guide from GitHub appears credible since it aligns with what many users observe—some components handle 1.75v well while others struggle above that. High-end kits often support 1.6v+, and factory XMP settings exist for top-tier parts. If 1.6v is the limit, pushing further seems unnecessary. Generally, voltages above 1.35v can cause significant wear, especially on CPUs, but modern chips tolerate more than before. Still, sticking strictly to recommended values is safer now.
I appreciate how you highlight the tendency to make broad claims in your rebuttals. It seems you’re pointing out a pattern where generalizations replace concrete evidence. The issue here is that without actual data or sources, your arguments lack credibility. "Reputable sources" are meaningless if they aren’t backed by real information. You often reference others’ opinions without proof, which undermines your authority. Just because you’ve done some work doesn’t equate to expertise on complex topics like DDR4 or overclocking. Focus on sharing the facts and evidence instead of relying on vague claims.
I've had this experience too, though it's mainly on DDR3 (limited to 2200 due to x58) and DDR2. The ICs on my Extreme Dark only clock is high (1520), which doesn't scale well with voltage (around 2.38V)—not really useful but not impossible. What about your side? Any RAM OC tips? Probably you have some background, even if not DDR4. If you're sure about safe voltages being critical and around 1.5V, should I just check the God-damned GitHub DDR4 guide? It covers everything a beginner needs, including safe voltage ranges and variations. If it's meant for everyone, I assume it's trustworthy.
For ten years it has been mostly off for DDR2, a bit on DDR3, and recently a lot in DDR4 kits I own. You're again trying to climb the ranks by changing words. I never mentioned 1.5v and above causes immediate failure. Yes, because they at least cite their references on topics like safe voltages or JEDEC standards, unlike your "trusted sources." Only this guide covers DDR4 overclocking is needed. A person who just overclocked a 4x DDR3 unit on an old system for 13 years shouldn't be considered reliable.
Killing can be understood as death in certain contexts, ranging from immediate loss to gradual decline. The term could refer to damage or destruction. Degradation or instant kill are more precise options, though the latter is common. I favor using degrade or instakill instead of vague phrases like over 1.65v = die, since those can be misinterpreted. Generally, people mean more than just a voltage threshold—typically they refer to lasting damage. At least you have some DDR4 experience, which helps. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited to older platforms; general safe voltages often lack precision (like 1.5v for all RAMs), and setting too low can harm your system. If I could run between 0.98v and 2.46v without noticeable degradation after stress testing, I’d be confident. Otherwise, it’s probably just a waste of time unless you’re targeting GPUs or other specific setups.
