should i overclock my ram?
Hi everyone, I own two "Hyperx Fury 1866" and a friend recently gave me two "Hyperx Beast 1333". I'm curious if boosting my RAM overclock could make a difference. My CPU is an FX8350 at 4.5GHz, the motherboard is a Sabertooth 990FX, and CPU-Z shows the timings as 889. The frequency is listed as 889, with some extra digits. In CPU-Z, dual channel is indicated, but the Fury RAMs appear as single-channel while the Beast shows dual. Also, the Fury's voltage is 1.5V compared to the Beast's 1.65V.
When using various RAM sticks with differing speeds, your computer tends to run all the sticks at the slowest speed available. So even if you have 1866mhz and 1333mhz, they'll operate at 1333mhz. Thanks, but I already know that. My concern is whether the timing is correct or if I should try overclocking the RAM.

So when you put different ram sticks in that have different speeds then each other your computer will automatically run all the sticks at the lowest speed possible so if you have 1866mhz ram and 1333mhz all of those sticks will run at 1333mhz.
thanks but i already know that, my question is if the timings are fine or if i should overclock my ram
Yeah man overclock those bad boys see if you get any boost in performance
