Hello community! Newbie ram overclocker here. Looking for some help on pushing the ram further.
I bought an msi gt83vr-6re titan sli laptop. It came with 2 x 8gb sticks of 2133mhz ddr4 kingston value ram. I opted to upgrade to 4 x 8gb sticks of Hyperx Impact 2400mhz cl14 ram(xmp profile). Ram installed, everything is good.
In case it matters, Here are my laptop specs:
i7-6820hk 2.7ghz base/3.6ghz turbo- Overclocked to 4.2ghz stable
2 x gtx 1070 with out overclock
32gb ram
Decided I want to run at as high of a frequency as possible with a low CL. I went into the bios, set up a custom profile for the ram using the xmp profile settings as a baseline. I increased the memory ratio by 1, from 9 to 10. Reference clock=133. Ram booted @ 2667, sweet. I enabled the Qclk dram odd ratio as well for an extra 133mhz. It booted and the ram is sitting at 2800mhz @ cl14 @ 1.20 voltage(stock). It has been stable so far and benchmarks reflected at a 16% increase over my 2400mhz benchmarks.
I'd like to take it one more step further and run at a base 2933mhz + 133mhz qclk dram odd ratio for a total of 3066. I tried to keep the same settings/voltage and just increase the memory ratio from 10 to 11 but it blue screened on boot. I also tried to bump up the voltage from 1.2 to 1.25 but it blue screened again. Is this not enough voltage? Where do I go from here? Am I supposed to loosen up my timings by going from 14/14/14/35 to 15/15/15/35 + increase voltage? Is it even possible for the ram to overclock as high as I want it to? I called MSI and they stated the frequency limit for my model laptop is 2400mhz for the ram. That's already been discredited as i'm currently at 2800mhz on the ram. Not sure what to think or do. Please help
