My RAM memory uses only 1333MHz. Can I OC that?

Hi,

Finally got my new rig up and going. But my RAM only use 1333MHz. Is it safe to OC it up to 1600MHz?

Specs:
MSI 970A-G43
Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz, 4GB DDR3
AMD FX-4300

Yeah it's fine, often you have to manually change mem freq on default bios settings. Also, check the timings as well and set them to stock if they are not.

Hmm.. Okay, what should I change? Voltages, frequency etc.. Im a dummie at this xD

in the bios look for xmp profile for dra mspeed or amd version of it.

You won't notice any real world performance difference in your system overclocking this RAM. Just sayin..

Really? Are you sure about this?

MaXimus421 · Mar 26, 2014

Yes. The only improvements you MIGHT see is on benchmarks. You might get 1-2 FPS more on games, but that's about it. Your system will feel exactly the same as before you overclocked it. Seriously.

Depends on what you do, regardless, might as well get what you pay for, think your mobo uses either DOCP or EOCP for setting up DRAM, look for that in the advanced area, enable it and select 1600 (it will read the XMP profile from the DRAMs SPD and try and set them up accordingly
