I’m unsure if these configurations are ideal. I followed a YouTube tutorial and applied them, but I notice stutters during games. I’m cautious about the RAM voltage—aiming for around 1.45V to achieve better performance—but it needs to be stable. The CPU seems acceptable at the moment since I plan to install an AM4 bracket for my Hyper 612 Ver.2 on January 2, as the website hours are limited now.
Please help if you can, so I don’t risk a failure after spending over $400.
your ram speed is tuned for XMP 2400 MHz,
i don’t go higher than that.
i also have an R1600.
i discovered 3.8 is a realistic target without needing much extra voltage,
my setup runs at 1.25v on a B350.
beyond that, you’ll need a big jump in voltage,
the highest stable i found was 3.95 at 1.387v.
4.00 never stays stable even at 1.45v.
if you have a stock cooler, stick to 3.7 at 1.2375v (your result might vary).
just experiment and save by not pushing voltage too high.
What temperature readings are present at the load on CPU, GPU, and RAM? As long as these values are acceptable, you should perform well for some time. Stuttering might originate from various sources. When overclocking, the first thing to check is the temperatures. Excessively high temps can cause the system to slow down in an attempt to maintain stability. 2) Don't just randomly adjust settings; investigate the specific configurations you're using and their impact on performance. This process may take longer but will yield better results. What type of RAM are you using? Every RAM package differs, and on Ryzen systems, the choice can significantly influence overall system efficiency.
jossrik asks about temperature readings across CPU, GPU, and RAM during operation. He suggests monitoring these components closely, especially when overclocking, as high temperatures can cause throttling. He emphasizes checking the exact RAM specifications, noting that different types affect performance. He shares his own RAM details and provides a link to the product page, mentioning he hasn't tested the RAM temperature but finds current idle and load temps acceptable. He also describes his gradual progression in boosting RAM speeds and expresses interest in voltage requirements for achieving a certain speed.

my ram speed is tuned for XMP 2400 MHz, personally I won't exceed that rate.
i also have an R1600.
i found 3.8 is a realistic target without needing much higher voltage, i run at 1.25v on B350.
above that, you'll need a big jump in voltage—max stable i've seen is 3.95 at 1.387v.
4.00 never stays stable even at 1.45v.
if you have a stock cooler, i suggest keeping it at 3.7 with 1.2375v (your result might vary).
just experiment and see; it's really better to avoid pushing voltage too high.
i'll try it out. Thanks.
