What would happen if I increase my RAM speed while using two different kinds?
I own two distinct brands of RAM with significantly different clock speeds. One is roughly 600 mhz slower than the other, and your computer automatically uses the slowest speed for your RAM. I removed the slower sticks and boosted my faster one to its maximum stable overclock. Now I’m facing a problem: 16 GB is almost at the limit of available RAM for the game I want to play, but the overclock has greatly improved the frame rate—about a 30 fps increase. If I replace the other sticks and maintain the current speed, what will happen? If it’s not possible to match the RAM clock speed with the remaining sticks, is there a way to overclock RAM individually per slot? I have the ASUS EUFI bios. Thanks guys, I’m worried this might seem like I’m an idiot, but I’d rather save the 60 dollars than lose my game.
If I can't achieve the desired RAM speed with the other modules, is there a method to overclock RAM individually for each slot? No. All modules must share the same clock speed. And using manual timings would affect all sticks equally.
A 32 gigabit (2x16G) connection at 3600 MHz costs about 150 dollars right now. That's one option. You need to weigh whether it's worth it.
It's not impossible, but it will be significantly more challenging than using four times the same brand, manufacturer, or chip type...
Overclocking RAM can lead you down a steep and complex path, quickly becoming difficult to manage without a clear direction in the near future.
Sure, I can help with that. Let me rephrase it in a similar way while keeping the same length and structure.
And most of the time, it performs poorly at some point during testing... When a test lasts 5-6 hours or longer, this low success rate can really damage your confidence and ruin aspirations. This applies to normal 2x8 or 2x16 stick overclocking... Using two different RAMs with varying speeds and base specifications while attempting overclocking in 4x mode... it's a mess, really... no, please avoid doing it.
If I can't achieve the desired RAM speed with the other modules, is there a method to overclock RAM individually for each slot? No. They all need synchronized clocks. And using manual timings affects every stick equally.
