  • need help overclocking my ram speed

    i have a msi z370 gaming m5 mother board

    and 2x8 gskill f4-2400cs15-8vr ripjawsV rams

    i dont have much knowledge about overclocking rams

    i want to try to overlock my ram using memory try it

    i read that the safe voltage to overclock the rams is 1.35V

    so with memory try it i have 2 options its either 2400mhz with cl12 w 1.35V
    or increase the mhz to 2666mhz with cl13
    the other option is to increase to 2800 mhz also lowering the cl to 14 but its with 1.4Volts

    or would i get away with increasing the speed manually to 2800 and increase the voltage to 1.35V and changing no other value

    thanks for the help in advance

    Try it, test it, see what works best then keep it at those settings. We can help based off your test results, so post them when you can.

    Do you have the latest BIOS?

        1st thing i did is to increase the speed to 2666 and also increasing the V to 1.3 didnt change anyother settings i will use the pc as usual and see if i get any errors i ll try to keep the voltage 1.35V max in future changes

          i reverted the settings back to normal cause i had crashes in apex and overwatch for apex i got a crash report something like this if this makes any sense

            Try 1.35V to see if it can be stable. If not, try DDR4-2666 16-16-16 then 2800 to see if it can be stable. Do you have modules installed in second and fourth slots away from CPU?

              yeah i do have them installed on 2nd and 4th i will try to change the values and see how it goes

                2666 mhz with 1.35 V 15-15-15 seems stable till now didnt have any crashes in games either should i try for 2800 next?

                  Sure, keep pushing and let us know how it goes.

                    overclocked it to 2800 mhz 15-15-15 1.35v doesnt seem to have any crashes playing games or ran to any problem so far but its been only a few hours im okay up to this but do u think i can get more speed out of it or would it be risky

                      No problem at all, just need to trial and error test. Move up and see what you can stabilize. Find balance between proper timings and Voltage, as long as the system is stable there is no risk. If slightly unstable the settings may be slightly off, or if settings are much off then system will not boot.

                      DDR4-3000 may need to be higher DRAM Voltage or higher timings like 16-16-16.

                        i ll go with 3000mhz and up the timings to 16-16-16 then im a bit sceptical about the voltage cause the faq said 1.35 was the limit for overclocking would be good to go if i increasse it to 1.4V if this isnt stable?

                          i increased it to 2933mhz didnt change anything else my system started without any issue i ll see if its gonna be stable

                            i have chrome crash right away when im watching a stream 2933mhz and 16-16-16
                            do i need to up the voltage more its at 1.35V currently im afraid to damage the memory chips

                              It is fine, raise DRAM Voltage to see if you can stabilize.

                              Or to keep Voltage lower, you can try 16-17-17
