Is it possible to overclock the RAM?

Yes, it is possible to overclock the RAM which helps to increase the data transfer speed(frequency) and lower the latency of the ram stick.

How to overclock the RAM?

There are 3 levels in overclocking the ram 

• Beginner- This is for beginners who have not any guide or knowledge to overclock the ram but if they want to make some improvement in memory performance, this is the beginner level of overclocking ram. This type of overclocking is done by using the predetermined settings given by the brand itself so you just apply and overclock the ram.

for intel (Intel XMP) is given to overclock the memory with predetermined settings just the user has to select the combination and check the benchmarks score for every time.

• Intermediate- This is the next level of overclocking ram in this the person who has some knowledge and guide to do the process can be done by using the BIOS settings of his pc in which he has to pick the correct combination and he has to do the trial and error test to see the improvements in the memory for every time.

In this method, you have to configure or overclock the ram using system bios under given combinations and apply the settings and again boot the system and then run the benchmark to heed the performance and stability. If fails or error occurred then try the other combination and then repeat the process till you find the successful combination.

• Advanced- This is the highest and the time-consuming level of overclocking the ram. This can be done by the person who needs the almost highest level of boosting in performance. For even expert overclockers also to spend hours to see the ultimately increased small performance in the memory. This process is fully manual each and every change is done manually by the user.

What are the basic requirements for overclocking the ram?

• For the first, you must need an overclockable supported motherboard with some knowledge in modifying BIOS to overclock the ram.

• And next, you should have the knowledge to run & analyze the benchmark scores for every trial and error combinations. You have to choose the correct combination required for your hardware. At the same time, you have to regularly heed for the stability of the ram.

What are the things to notice while overclocking the ram?

1. stability- it is necessary to regularly heed stability.
2. Some motherboard does not support high voltage when you consequently try to push voltage it will not boot up, so try lower voltage.
3. At first, you have to modify the memory timings and then the memory voltage. Like CPU overclocking here also by increasing the memory voltage overclocking is done.
4. In standard memory overclocking, considers that 1.5V is maximum voltage to increase manually for overclocking.

What are the advantages of overclocking ram?

• The clock frequency of ram is increased therefore the performance and the data transfer speed is also increased.
• Lower the latency higher the clock frequency and performance of ram.
