ddr3 g.skill trident, first time increasing the frequency to at least 2133mhz, please help!

ssmana · Jan 1, 2016

hi i want to increase the frequency to 2133mhz at least or more on my ram. i use a asus hero maximus 7 mother board, and 4x4 G.skill trident ddr3 memory on my system. i never done this before but i am familiar with changing voltages and cpu ratio on my processor. so please if someone can give me a run down on how to do this, im guessing it is the same as a cpu, i go into my bios and set the frequency and then adjust the voltage and check if it is stable, and then if it is not increse the voltage, is that how?

first downlaod cpu-z uses the memory tab and spd inf oto see what the xmp profile speed of your ram is. if it 2100 or faster and in already set in xmp profile. the go to the ai tab and change the dram speed to xmp profile one. save and reboot and see if it stable. if it not you may have to bump up the dram voltage.

Actually it is easier. In the BIOS, go to the section for setting the RAM . Then you have the option of manual settings or to use the XMP. XMP is the easiest method because you only need to select 2133 and you are done.

thank you terry. im guessing that setting it to XMP will automatically adjust the voltage for you frequency target of 2133mhz?

As above if it isn't stable (but it probably will be), you can drop down a speed or adjust the voltage up a bit to keep it stable at 2133.

should i test it with prime95? does that test the memory stability also? and does it make a difference what version i have on prime95?

also one last question, what threshold of voltages should i use for the dram voltage, whats the safe limit, to never go past?

Generally you will know almost immediately if the RAM is stable at that speed or not. If it boots and operates normally, then it is stable.

If you like you could run memtest to test the RAM,

thank you

If you purchased DRAM rated at 2133, then selecting the XMP allows you to overclock it to that frequency without worrying about exceeding the voltage. But the recommended DRAM voltage is printed on the DRAM.
