try a little bit of overclocking since as i know, the DDR3 HyperX Fury 1600 mhz can auto-overclock to 1866mhz.
I first booted my pc with the new z97 board and 2 sticks of hyperx fury ram, and i was kind of dissapointed when i looked up into the task manager and CPU-Z and saw that my memory speeds were running at 1600mhz. So i entered the BIOS and as i saw that XMP was not being possible to enable, i changed the System MEmory Multiplier from 1600 to 1866 and restarted the PC and BOOM.
CPU-Z and Task manager showed up 1866 MHZ... i felt a little bit curious because i had all the possible way to over clock in the Bios so i went back to the BIOS and typed 2000 and restarted the PC.
What a surprise was that CPU-Z was actually showing those 2000MHZ and so does task manager, i worried a little bit because i think that is not normal, so i reset my bios to default and now im running at 1600MHZ.
How is this even possible?
Am i running a risk of doing this?
Should i do it, is it worth?
Lifetime of hardware reduces for doing this?
I need some help please.
Heres an ScreenShot when i first set it to 2000MHZ and 1866.
