i7-2600k DDR3 1333 or 2400 video encoding?

PCGUY2015 · May 9, 2016

Hello everyone! I have an good old 2600k overclocked to 4.5ghz.. ram is set to standard ddr3 1333.. was wondering will overclocking ram will increase performance on video encoding, rendering, editing? my mobo supports up to 2400mhz.. also if anyone can guide me thru the process of overclocking ram will be greatly appreciated.. thanks!!

My MOBO
Gigabyte Z68AP-D3

i know with gaming ram speeds makes little no difference, unless there is some source proving it does help with your uses, it sound like you would just be wasting power and putting useless strain on the ram.

Thanks! I was hoping It would increase performance

Maybe if you want to speed up rendering and encoding you might need MORE RAM, not necessarily FASTer RAM.

Thanks! currently I have 16gb (4x4gb) ddr3 1333mhz.. I have extra ddr3 1600mhz sticks of ram.. do you think it will improve performance? have 2 8gb sticks

Try the 2x8GB 1600 sticks, should see a bit of an increase, as far as OCing the DRAM to 2400 - A) not likely and if you did would probably need a CL so high it would be lower performance than a lower data rate with tighter timings and B) good chance your CPU might ne be able to run 2400. Even if a mobo is 'rated' to 2400, the MC (memory controller) in the CPU is the determining factor. Depending on your 1600 sticks, you might well be able to OC them to 1866 for another small performance increase
