BEGINNER'S GUIDE to Overclocking your RAM (DDR3-1600 1.5v On Z77 Motherboard)

2013-03-31
hey YouTube welcome to tech yeah City this is Bryan easy coming back to you guys today with a overclocked tutorial for RAM now I've been meaning to get this done for a long time but I've just wanted to make it as in-depth yet simple as possible for you guys also I wanted to get my camera audio fixed as my camera audio was a bit dull and so hopefully yeah this this video is a little bit better than my previous overclocked tutorials and I hope I can give you the best advice I can so anyway that being said let's move on to the overclocked tutorial now before we begin we're going to need three programs and that is the first one is max mem the second program is prime 95 and the last one is cpuid cpu-z now I'll put the link to all three of these programs in the description below so you guys can download these and now basically this one here max mem is a benchmark so it's going to test our RAM prime95 is a stability test which is the last program we're going to need and C Bui Z is just there to check our settings so that being said also I want you guys to open up Start menu computer and go to hard drive where your OS is installed so for me that C Drive I want you to right click on that and click properties and I want you to go over to hardware and click properties again for your disc where your OS is installed and go to volumes sorry go to change settings in general and then go to the policies tab and then I want you to take off write caching take this off so just in case up in case our OS crashes we're not going to corrupt any files so it's just a safety precaution Airi measure so once that's done guys we can then open up CPU Z ID and we're just going to check our ram ok so basically what we're doing now is we're checking our ram and basically go over to as you can see i'm clocked at 4.2 gigs but i want you to go over to SPD tab and basically this is a little chip that is on your ram that comes with settings from the manufacturer and as you can see here I have XMP profiles now some ramp I pretty much every Ram that sold nowadays comes with these XMP profiles and what they are is they're just guaranteed overclocks from the manufacturers of your Ram and as you can see here I have two XMP profiles but if you don't have an XMP profile you should have a profile here that says these tweaked settings from the manufacturer so if you don't have an XMP profile then write down the settings here because you'll you might want to dial them into BIOS and basically I will put the video in the description below but I already did a video showing that the XMP profiles or at least the guaranteed overclocks from the manufacturers are a lot better than the Auto settings so this is important that you guys are at least getting in these XMP profiles so that being said let's move on to let's restart the computer and now we're going to go into BIOS so this is why we're recording off a camera we can't use desktop recording software because we are using the Sony camera so so that being said we just move into BIOS guys and now we're in BIOS don't be afraid to enter BIOS it's not that scary you guys probably already seen my CPU overclock tutorial and basically we go over to overclock Tweaker so this is asrock guys this is the asrock UEFI boss now by different biases are going to look different to this one again if you guys haven't asrock then that's pretty good you're going to find it a lot easier than maybe if you got a gigabyte bios or something cool Zeus's file so they're going to look different according to the manufacturers this is a Xerox version but these settings should all be in there somewhere so you guys have to find them for this one this is as rocks so you just go over to overclock Tweaker and now you go down to your DRAM timing configurations so as we can see here I want you guys to first load up the XMP 1.2 profile so this is my 1600 megahertz profile which is 9 9 9 and 28 so if you load that up there so we'll do that again so it was on auto but load XMP setting here and we just click dial that in so we're going to do this first because this is going to give us a baseline of the performance figures so now we're doing this we're loading up the XMP profile first and nothing else has changed and Save Changes in exit so that's easy now another thing is to guys make sure your CPU and everything else is stable before you do this okay because if other things aren't stable then obviously you things could be crashing but not because of your RAM so you want to make sure your CPU is stable your GPU everything's stable before you do the RAM overclocked tutorial and with that being said let's move in and so now you've got the XMP profile enabled and with that all you have to do is load up Mac's mem so we can double click on that and load up this and what we want to do is we just want to hit start benchmark so once this is loaded up we hit start benchmark and all this does is just it does a benchmark on your RAM so we're just waiting tick tock tick tock okay so there's that there's the first benchmark done on our XMP settings now I want you to go to set screen shot here so we go to screen shot and we go save to file and on desktop and I can just put XMP 1600 and now that is the first benchmark we've done and we have the picture here so we can come back to this later and check our schools and make basically what this program is doing maximum its benchmarking your RAM but it's also giving you an idea of if your ram your ram overclock is stable because if your ram overclocks not stable you can be getting bad numbers here as opposed to your XMP profile so this is just establish this is giving us a baseline of our basically of our scores so now we can restart the computer and now things are going to getting a little more in-depth now so we're going to be going into BIOS again and so I'm just taking you guys I'm going to make this is going to be uncut I just want to show you guys everything from start to finish and now overclock obviously it's going to be a bit faster for me because I already tested my ram but I'm just going to show you the methodology here so now we want to set this back to auto so we go back to load XMP settings and put that in the middle of the screen for you guys but in overclocked weaker we want to go back to load XMP settings and we want to put that back to auto okay so both of that that's taking off our XMP profile now and what we want to go down to now is go down to DRAM frequency so we'll go down here but actually no we'll do that sorry what first what you want to do is you want to put your DRAM voltage up to so the default is 1.5 volt now check guys make sure you check in CPU Z and make sure your voltage is 1.5 volt because some Ram is 1.3 volt 1.3 5 volt and also some Ram is 1.6 5 volt so you have to know what voltage your Ram is this pretty much this tutorial is for 1.5 volt 1600 megahertz Ram like if you guys are going to copy my settings the less I want you to take this up to the setting that you're comfortable with I'm going to take this up to date to 1.6 volt now I'm not going to go any higher because there will be obviously this is a tutorial and it's a safe guide so I'm not going to make this setting higher than 1.6 volt because I don't want you guys risking or I don't want you guys having any risks of frying your hardware so this is just going to be one point six volt if you guys want to take it higher you can but there just be aware that especially over one point six five volt there is a chance that you can damage your hardware and I don't want you guys damaging your hardware I always recommend safe over blocks so straight away put this up to one point six volt and we can bring once this will be the final stage bringing this down will be the first and and be the final stage so that's something we don't really have to worry about now once that's at one point six volt we can then go to direct DRAM frequency and basically I want you guys to get just go go turbo on this okay so drop this down and instead of 1866 or 2002 one three three and once is good what what this is going to do is it's going to tell us how fast our RAM can go if my ram can boot at two one three three then i've got pretty good ram if it doesn't boot at two one three three then I think I've just got mediocre Ram so not not too worried there and now we're going to go into also sorry so change that to to 133 if you're on 1600 megahertz Ram change it to do do three two one three three and make sure your voltage is at one point six volt and now also go into DRAM configuration and we want to relax these timings okay now let me just pause here for a sec you're probably wondering what are these timings here okay so these timings here our timings for the RAM and now I'm not going to explain what they do but rather I'm just going to give you guys a simple outlook this is timing one this is timing two this is timing three now these three timings the lower they are the better for performance however the lower they are things can get unstable as well so we want to relax these when we're finding our max speed and now this here is timing number four okay and basically timing number four should be the sum of all these three give or take plus one or minus one but generally it's it's around that area plus one minus one but it should be the sum of these three so now this is what I want you guys to do when you relax the timings and I want you to go for a say two one three three and now we're going pretty hard we're going pretty high here because we're just going to find out how good our ram is and how high it can go so we go that one more time one point six volt ddr3 to 133 and during configuration twelve twelve twelve thirty six now don't worry what these do it is a timing one timing two time III lowers the lower they are the better timing for the sum of all these three timings okay and that's all you need to know you don't have to worry and stress about anything else now that being done we just go over to exit Save Changes and exit okay and now hopefully it boots hopefully it doesn't boot if it doesn't boot you guys are gonna it's probably going to be good for you guys because you're going to go you're going to see the frustration involved in overclocking and you know things can get you know things can get crashing things can get be unstable that's not to worry that's just one thing you just want to make sure when you're overclocking is not to set voltage is too high because that'll fry ram and as you can see here my computer isn't even booting so it can't boot at 233 which means my cannot run two on three three speeds which it's that's just normal that's from 1600 speed ram you can't expect too much so hopefully it'll boot I mean it's just chugging at the moment it's taking its poor time it's it's struggling my poor RAM it won't go into bales so basically that what this but the good thing about the asrock is is that it'll reset the settings so if it doesn't boot three times it'll then reset back to auto so that's a good thing if you guys if your computer doesn't boot then just hit the clear CMOS button or reset your BIOS that's what you're gonna have to do so that's basically if you can't boot in at two one three three you just have to hit your clear CMOS button now obviously my ram is not capable of running as you see it's ddr3 1600 it's reverted back to its default setting because it can't run at this setting and now we're going to take it down to two 2000 this time and see if we have any luck so basically what we're trying to find out is is how fast our RAM can actually boot into Windows out so and this is going to save you a lot of time this is the method that I use it's it saves a lot of time because we're not figuring we're not messing around with voltage or speed we're just finding the highest speed our room can run up straight away rather than the lower speed some people are going to do overclocking to draw is a lot different and that's fine no one's wrong and no one's right and so this is my method I'm just going to teach it to you guys because it's pretty quick and now look we've booted into Windows at 2000 megahertz on Iran and everything's okay so we're going to run a benchmark with the timings relaxed and now I probably could get my ram running at to 133 if I gave it more voltage I am just not comfortable running my ram at 1.6 5 volt or 1.7 volt I'm not comfortable in getting you know putting those highest voltages through my components because I don't want to risk frying them and same with you guys I recommend you to be careful with it but here we go we're running the benchmark this is at 2000 and as we can see here we got a hopefully we got a better score than the XMP settings even with the relaxed timings so we're going to save a screenshot of that save to file two thousand twelve twelve twelve thirty six now that is a that is our next overclock okay so we've got the first one and we've got the second one as we can see here we had a pretty much a 10% increase in memory read speeds and also a increase in memory latency so the lower the latency the battle and also there was an increase in memory copy as well so everything all the performance of the RAM went up when we overclocked our RAM higher which is a good thing and now this is the part that you guys have to ask yourself for a 24/7 overclock do you want to be running your ram at 2004 me no I don't I want to be dropping it down another level so find the max setting that your RAM is capable of running out so my ram is capable of running at 2000 and i'm going to drop it down one knotch so for me 1866 is basically the suite 24/7 overclock for my ram so 24 hours a day 7 days a week my ram could run to 1866 and i don't think it would have a problem so this is generally what people like to do with RAM and I like to do it as well it's just a good safe level so now we've found our higher speed which is ddr3 2000 I want to take it down 1 knotch ddr3 1866 and basically this is might this is going to be my 24/7 overclock for my RAM so once you guys have found it you guys may be able to boot at 2 1 3 3 I know for instance the Samsung memory is very good so Samsung of releasing their ddr3 that Ram that they've been releasing I think it goes as high as 2,400 so some people will be able to run stable at 2200 and yes this is for like the $50.00 Ram it's amazing value so Corsair Vengeance are probably capable of the same as me maybe 2000 I don't know it's up to you guys but for me 1866 is my one level my one notch below my max stable overclock so 1866 is what I'm going to be doing for 24/7 overclock and now for the DRAM timings I'm pretty comfortable when you when you're above ten you can generally take it down two notches at a time so again we're taking those down two notches to timing one down two notches timing two down two notches timing three down two notches some of all them is 30 so we're going to go to 30 and now this should be okay so what we're doing is we know we know for a fact that my ram was stable at 2000 so now we're dropping it down to 1866 but now we're also going to start being aggressive on the timings and we're going to start dropping the timings down so we're going to see if it boots at basically we're going to see what it boots up and what we can get it up to so which is now is sort of now we're tweaking so we've found the we've found our safe level so we're comfortable of going at 1866 and we're just basic for 24/7 overclock and now we're just on the timings now and don't be afraid don't worry about what it all means what does tear ass mean what does don't is just all's it is is timing one Tommy - Tommy 3 don't be afraid so just know the logic involved and once you know that you'll be comfortable doing it so anyway let's once we've done that we're going to open up maximum again lovely little program and we're going to do our benchmark this time again we're going to go hit start benchmark boom fingers crossed fingers crossed it all works it should it should work it should be all good ok come on tomorrow ok so there we go let's save the screenshot save to file and desktop 1866 ten ten ten thirty okay so we just save that one there and we can bring that up again we'll see how that compares to our previous benchmark so it was the memory copy was higher which is good the memory read was a little bit slower and the memory write was a little bit faster and the memory latency was a little bit low but that's the memory latency should be expected to be low because I dropped the timings but as you can see there that was a good run so that was I'm happy that it did ten ten ten thirty now we're going to drop it down again so let's try 999 so once we get now below ten you only want to drop them down generally by one notch because below tens when you start getting a bit fragile and if you're dropping it down to I'll pretty much guarantee my ram won't boot so as we go back to over so we go into biasing and go down to overclock Tweaker and now our RAM is comfortable this is confirmed my RAM likes running at 1866 ten ten ten thirty now we can drop it down to 999 27 at 1866 so we just again we're dropping it down one notch this time so below 10 only drop it down one one notch at a time and generally you drop them all down at the same time because you just want to find out if it can boot and if we can run a bench at this at this level and now we're the sum of all three is 27 so we're going to leave that at 27 and I tend to like leaving the tier ass on an even number so with that being said I'm going to put it down I'm going to drop it to 28 for some reason when I did my benchmarking a tea race on an even number was better than an odd number I don't know why but yeah for me I like having it on an even number so for you guys I'm going to recommend the same leave your TRS on an even number so for me I'm going to drop back to one notch slower drop it back to 28 and that's my settings now and then we're going to go exit Save Changes in exit so hopefully there's boots it might not be and if it doesn't then we have found a stable overclock at 10 10 10 30 which is really good so I don't know if this will boot I'm hoping it will boot nope I don't think so come on come on no it's kind of like it's kind of hanging now just to have to restart okay so yeah sometimes you're going to it's going to be probably have to hit the clear CMOS this time because it's kind of booting but it's not working so yeah I'm gonna have to hit my clear CMOS button so you guys are going to get it laughs so this is a okay so for me on the asrock I just have a I basically have a button on the rear that's a clear CMOS button and it's really easy so basically when I hit that button it'll reset everything back to normal which is really good okay so there we go we're booting again we're up and running so my ram does not like running at nine nine nine twenty eight so my ram just said no as you can see here everything's loaded back to normal so before you I sorry another thing to use guys before you do this tutorial as well make sure you have your profiles as well so make sure you have profiles as well because they save they save you a lot of time so as you can see here I'll you know you guys aren't going to see too much there don't worry about that that anyway back to one point six volts so we're making sure our vid D Ram voltage is at one point six volt and 1866 and as before our timings were on basically our timings were nine nine nine twenty eight and it didn't boot at that stage so now this time what we want to do is we want to now drop it by one only on one setting so nine ten ten thirty so we're taking it one step at a time now because we're getting closer to the maximum settings okay so safe changing the exit so timing one now gets dropped by one knotch and that's all that's happening so it should boot now so hopefully ah damn I hit the camera in the game come on camera come on okay okay cameras come on on cameras coming on okay so we're back in now guys we're back in business so now our computer basically if your computer boots to Windows it's pretty much stable rams rams basically one of those hit-or-miss things that either works or doesn't work it's very sensitive and another thing too guys I forgot to say is RAM as well it's prone it's it the thing about overclocking Ram is you have to be very careful with the voltages and the heat because Ram doesn't have built-in protection as well just keep that in mind that's one thing you have to keep in mind so when you ever got the CPU it's got the throttling built-in and automatically cut itself off same with the GPU and they get too hot they cut themselves off Ram doesn't Ram just shits itself so that's why you have to be very careful with Ram and so follow this guide it's obviously today I'm recommending you guys safe settings so let's go now we're at nine nine nine ten thirty and we're just going to hit load up max man hit start benchmark and obviously with the GPU as well the RAM on board the GPU can get hot as well which is why you always should be careful with RAM and say prone to failing piece of equipment so there we go there's our benchmarks there and we're going to basically save the screenshot again save to file and we're going to do eighteen six six nine ten nine sorry nine 10:00 10:30 so in ahead of myself then and now this is what we're going to have here as you can see here we got the benchmark this time around was a little bit faster on the latency a little bit slow on the memory right a little bit faster on the memory read and a little bit slow on the memory copy so that's just variants I think if I ran the benchmark again I'd probably get better numbers so you can just check that but that'd just be a little bit of variance I'm guessing nothing to worry about this around we might get better memory copy and stuff like that but nothing to worry about as long as it's all similar we're just getting the best timings the best thing to note was that the latency is consistently a little bit faster which is a good thing so that's a good thing as well okay so let's move back now so that's pretty much stable at 9:00 10:00 10:30 which is okay the memory copy for some reason is better or you didn't see that smash ligther the memory copy is again better when it was relaxed so that can give you an indication of that generally might give you an indication that your RAM likes running even though it can run at nine ten ten it might like running better at not at 10:00 10:00 10:30 so there you go there's a benchmark against it's running solid so that's pretty much stable so let's get back into it we're gonna go so our benchmark did fine we got better memory latency we got generally better scores by dropping it down just one notch and it's not yes so once you get back into here it's really just fine-tuning now that you're at this stage you're basically just fine-tuning and now I know I've already tested it but I'm pretty sure that the raster cast delay is the one that's causing the problems but let's get it on anyway so I'm scared of doing that but yeah same you can solve it follow the same methodology and you can boot and find out which one doesn't like getting booted up at 9 so I'm pretty sure it was my second timing the second timing just doesn't work at 9:00 9:00 10:30 as you can see here is is just struggling it's cute so that was so now I've got a problem again set that back again okay that's booting yeah okay well okay we're getting back into boss so the boss is already over set overclocked depth well you know my now my bias is like looking crazy yes it's just really unstable it won't even load up blasts I just got to hit the seam I got to hit the clear CMOS just wait okay turn that off and now this is your clear CMOS this is your captain speaking clear CMOS talking to you so don't be afraid to clear CMOS II know it's a lot of RAM RAM overclocking is a lot of crashing guys it's a lot of I guess it's more frustrating than overclocking the CPU and GPU because it takes a lot of clear CMOS and again you want to have that profile set and you want to okay so yeah for me sorry I gotta save it again that save it okay so I'll make it easier for you guys now let's get back into the Dhiren figuration it didn't like at 9:00 wouldn't boot it was going crazy however at 10 it was fine so we know that this for nine is okay this for 10 is okay as well and this for nine is okay as well I mean sorry now this time so my bad this time we're going to drop this down to nine so I've already obviously already tested my ram so I know what it's capable of but we're going to drop this down to nine now so this one didn't boot it nine so we're dropping it back to 10 and that's the best that it can do this one here we're dropping back to nine now we're going to give it another notch and I'm going to take it to nine and now this here we can leave this at 30 because we can work on that last and we're going to save changes in exit and now we're on nine ten nine thirty and we're going to run a benchmark and it's going to be all good okay so we're booting it's all good now everything's fine Rams happy computers happy everybody's happy this is a good thing this is a good thing guys there you go check make sure it's all good you zoom in the reflection hey you would you can see my can you see my shure sm58 i don't know if you can see that but yeah anyway let's get on with it so now we've got our I'm pretty sure this is our final setting because I've tested it before but you can see how I've worked my way to this setting and I'm showing you all the methodology on how I've got into this setting okay so let's start the benchmark and see how we go alright so there we have it that is the screenshot safety file 1866 ating manam law 1866 910 930 okay alright so let's have a look at the scores now ok guys sorry we were interrupted by my DSLR overheating but let's get back into it so we have a look at the scores and then we see here the scores are pretty similar but this one is the memory latency is a little bit better and that the timings are a little bit better on the last overclock ever so slow I mean it's probably variance but it doesn't really matter that basically our RAM is capable of running at 1866 910 930 now this time around we're going to restart and we're going to drop the tear ass down to 28 so actually I did it but I didn't realize my camera cut out so my timing is already set down to 28 but anyway let's get back and let's get back into it not going to let a DSLR overheating deter us from overclocking our room so again back to overclocked Tweaker and now down to DRAM configuration and I've dropped the T race down to 28 now I've actually benchmarked this a lot and for me I've found in games that having the tier ass slightly slower than the sum of all three is the best for the benchmark scores I don't know why this is but this is just what I've found and what I've tested so obviously we'll do a benchmark in mem test just to check the scores and see if the TRS of 28 makes a difference versus 30 but I don't think it does I find having the TRS a little bit slow that's timing so timing for I find having the timing number for a little bit slower generally gets you the best results so we'll find out here if our benchmark is indeed going to show us better numbers with a tighter trass so let's have a look come on RAM give us it you know what you're good for there we go so oh it did give us a I think slightly better score save to file 18 6 6 9 10 9 28 so that will be so as we can see here we've got a lot of 18 6 sixes but this is just us fine-tuning so as we can see here the memory copy was better on the pre on the terrace at 30 the memory read was ever so slightly better the memory was pretty much exactly the same and the memory latency was a bit better so I'm going to say that mmm overall it mean kind of looks like a yeah I mean so yeah I mean it's just much of a muchness I just found for gaming that having a tier ass was giving me a tier ass that was slightly slower was giving me a better score I don't know why so you know since I've been chucked games I'm going to change my tier ass back to 30 and now I'm going to show you guys my final this is Goa the final stage now so once we've found our timings and our speed we then work on the voltage and we drop that down in notches so this is not over yet so if we should be happy that we found a level that we're comfortable having ram at so for me it's 9:10 930 that's the best score for me and for you guys you can play around with the rat tier ass if you want to and find the best setting for you but you know ultimately the trass having it a little bit slower than the sum of all these three I found gave me the best results and also keeping it on an even number so those are two things to remember the t race now let's get back to it so that's our overclock ddr3 1866 DRAM configuration nine ten nine thirty and voltage now one point six so we set this initially this was the first thing that we set up was the one point six voltage on the RAM so we'll put that in and now we want to drop this down you can drop it down one at a time and basically stability first ability we can also save this as our four point two so this is my oh yeah you drop it down one voltage at a time and basically for this the stability test is going to be whether it boots into Windows I mean generally with Ram your general stability test is whether it boots I mean if your computer boots into Windows generally that level of ram is actually going to be probably okay so that's what I've found as well now our round boots at one point five nine we can then restart again take it down to one point five eight fold so we're just basically we're just dropping the voltage down one notch at a time and that's basically to save I know maybe a minuscule amount of power who knows but we're just dropping our voltage down and that's the this is the last part guys just finding out the level at which your RAM runs out what voltage it runs up so now I've actually tested mine and the lowest I got was one point five seven five five volt so I'm just going to set that down now so my Ram was comfortable running at one point five seven five volt so this was my sweet spot for my RAM and I'm going to save changes in exit so I'll just quickly save that again so so my RAM was comfortable at running at four point five seven five volt so for you guys you can take it down and basically when things become unstable give it a little bit not your head so 1.56 5-volt my ram didn't boot and so that was for me I just said okay I take it up to one point five seven five volt and it ran fine so I'm going to give it a benchmark also give it a final benchmark now and once we've found our sweet spot for our RAM we go open up maximum again and we do a final benchmark so this program is great it's so simple it just does a benchmark on your RAM I mean there's a lot of other benchmarking programs out there but I just find this so simple you know I'm not compare I don't care what other people have on their RAM I just care about what my ram is and my ram is capable of doing and so let's have a look here so this is the final score and as you can see here it's I mean we'll just pull up some of the other ones there so to just have a look and yeah I mean the results are pretty similar so this was our 28 - race and this is our 32 grass so I just like the 30 I mean the voltage yet so everything's fine it's running fine and now at one point five seven five volt 1866 my ram is okay okay guys so the last thing you'll want to do is open up prime95 so once you've found your sweet spot overclock and it's running the benchmarks fine and everything seems to be okay I want you to open up prime95 and I want you to click on blend so test some of everything lots of RAM tested now this is a great thing and I want you to click OK and then you can generally leave this on overnight and if it survives this test you are pretty much solid you know this should be fine and I find with Ram you're going to be very careful so in conclusion I will say with Ram you've got to be very careful it doesn't have the protection that CPUs have and GPUs having so that's why I'm very today I'm very I'm very you know cautious and I'm very relaxed with my settings and my recommendations because I don't want you guys risking blowing up your hardware or frying your hardware because I know how frustrating it is from my personal experience so generally all my overclocked tutorials are going to be on the safer side I mean over the ox are never safe but you're guaranteed that this is a very safe Guide to Getting safe over clocks so I hope you guys enjoyed it and if you did please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't already subscribed at at gas city where I do a lot of stuff to do a lot of tech stuff to do with gaming and technology and I just love those two things they go ahead and hand gaming in tech they're just awesome so and if you guys are a yes man - then that's ever reason more to subscribe so thanks guys thanks for watching today if you have any comments about this video if you need to know anything or you're desperate for help please leave a comment in the comment section below or if it's urgent please send me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and yeah guys basically in a nutshell don't be afraid to overclock the RAM it is a little bit more complicated than the CPU and GPU in my opinion there are more timings more settings more things to do but in the end it's a good thing and you know you guys get more knowledge and more the more you know the better it is I think in general so I today I found my sweet spot settings and I showed you how I found my sweet spot settings so don't be afraid to rewatch the video but basically don't be afraid you know the first three timings are just timings that's all they are they're just the lower they are the the generally the better the fourth timing is the sum of all three which should generally be an even number and maybe a little bit more relaxed so that's in a nutshell that's basically it guys and yeah stay tuned for my next - I'm going to basically my next video will be and I don't know how long I'm going to have a little break from all this overclocking stuff it's sort of you know I've been I'm going to have a little break I've been stressed out with YouTube a little bit I'm gonna be making a video that shows all my sweet spot overclocks into one sort of list and then I'm going to be comparing my sweet spot versus default Auto settings and you're going to see how much of a difference Auto overclocking makes especially in games compared to non over not overclocking just leaving all your settings on order and you guys to be surprised it's pretty big like the differences are actually big so overclocking your gear and this is safe over clocks - I'm not like I'm not going crazy on my overclocks all my basically all my tutorials and all my guides and all my settings I use personally are save settings so that's a good thing and so I never really generally I never recommend settings that are crazy so with your with your RAM generally the voltage is the main thing to look out for don't go too high and that's obviously with Ram it can you know it doesn't have the protection that GPUs and CPUs have in place so that's something to be mindful of and so anyway guys that's about it I've ran it on a little bit but yeah as you can see my ram is stable it loves these speeds and obviously I'm going to enjoy the benefits of having a more slightly ever so slightly snappier desktop and yeah just faster ram which does make a slight difference compared to the XMP profiles gives me that little bit extra so guys let me know for you you need anything so that's about it I think so I look forward to getting that guide out stay tuned for my monthly budget builds they'll be coming out soon and for the next episode of Tech Talk where I'm going to be talking about the server market and all Dell IBM and HP so guys I hope you enjoyed the I hope the camera audio is a lot better too so peace out for now anyway brainy's Ebates
