Kingston HyperX Blu 1600MHz DDR3 Overclocking Guide Tutorial Linus Tech Tips

I've been promising this one for a long time. I show you how to tweak the frequency and timings of your DDR3 memory on a P55 motherboard and run some simple benchmarks.

So the moral of the story is that over-clocking the RAM makes for a SLOWER Super Pie, OR reduction in latency makes absolutely no difference in even the most "minute" tests of RAM speed. You don't post the numbers, but here they are.

Baseline 14.305sec

25% FASTER Clock - 14.227sec

Faster Latency - 14.29sec

3D Mark - 18,534 to 18,692 to 18,654 (Standard Error)

Interesting video regardless, and I learned a few things, including not to waste my money on overlclocking ram. Thanks!

8:46 epic :P

@Mudux the thing is whenever i change clock settings from 1333 to 1600 mhz it says last overclock went fail and will work on fail safe settings

maybe i dnno what values i am support to put in the ram profile

:/

pls help if u know anything about it?

[Mudux]

@Swapneeiil 1333Hz is the safe clock that the motherboard uses for all the rams, if you bought a 1600Hz ram, change the settings and use what you paid for.

[Swapneeiil]

@bneyens Well i've got a hyper x blu 1600 mhz ram but the speed it displays is 1333mhz and the utilized speed is 667mhz

so am i supposed to overclock it??

does it even matters if i turn it to 1600 mhz from 1333??

how much difference will be there in the performance??

lol looking at that rig now... lol

i think generating a numbers is the CPUs job?

[GranulatedStuff]

im using hyperx blue 1333 and i get 9.438 secs for 1M Pi !

i72600k at 4Ghz

[ozpc123]

Just took my super pi score 12.656s

im running 3x2GB Dominator GT @ 6-7-6-18 1T 1620 MHz

[zelly2k9]

can i use this ram on an 1155 socket? 4x4gb

[Landak36]

i got the hyperx genesis 8gb ddr3 1600mhz. when im boot it. its say my memory ddr3 1333mhz unganged. what is that by the way? help me pls
