Using PnP RAM for CPU overclocking
Using PnP RAM for CPU overclocking
I haven't experienced overclocking before, so I'm asking: could there be an issue where the RAM is PnP instead of having XMP enabled? Will it maintain 1600MHz after the boost? I understand you should disable XMP during overclocking, but what should I do if my RAM supports that speed? Note: I don’t have a RAM yet, so I might consider buying a Savage one if the Fury is PnP and causes problems during overclocking.
The Savage models are standard XMP DRAM devices and are unrelated to PnP. The Fury models are PnP-based. They will automatically configure themselves to 1600 and maintain that setting if the CPU is overclocked. With certain sticks, you might manually adjust them to 1866 for marginally improved performance—or simply use the 1866 Fury version.
