RAM Overclocking Advice!

flamehead269 · Mar 19, 2013

I am OC my fx-8350 to 4.6Ghz, increasing ram frequency from 1600Mhz to 1866Mhz would make it go faster... but would it overheat my ram? I have High Profile Vengence 16gb from corsair, stock Mhz of 1600... Is it worth it?

Anything higher than 1600mhz will provide you near-zero gaming benefit, even 1333mhz is fine.

Unless your using an APU memory overclocking isn't really worth it.

Set your memory to 1600mhz and your should be good.

I would just keep the ram at stock speeds. But if you insist on doing it, your ram should be fine if you have decent airflow in the case.

Azn Cracker :

Yes but someone told me I should lower my clock because ram is too low?

flamehead269 :

No, you don't have to. Leave it at either stock or set 1600mhz. No need to go any higher.

They are wrong.

You will be fine with your memory kept at 1600MHz
The performance difference from 1600 to 1866 is very minor.
1600MHz will not reduce your Processor overclock / performance
The memory XMP profile is pretested to be the best settings for your ram.

I gathered all the facts and example If this was a crime my apology.
