DDR4 3600mhz to 4400mhz Beginner Overclocking Guide

A basic guide and walk through how I take some 3600mhz memory all the way up to 4400mhz, how to benchmark, what to look for and the timings I ended up using at different levels.

You seem like a nice dude my guy!. I just bought a couple of 4600mhz sticks to go with a b550 gaming pro plus and I should of checked the compatibity but I just broke up with my lady and went on a bit of a rampage while drunk last night. So I have the sticks and now getting into ram overclocking...New area for me. I've done GPU and CPU overclocking before.

Your tutorial is helping me understand it all before executing my overclock. Wish me luck my guy! :).

Try to show what will happen if the overclock failed if possible next time. It would help beginner to be more confident in trying oc.

Thanks for this, I got my 3600 17-21-21-39 RAM running at 3800 18-21-21-39 and FCLK at 1900MHz 1:1 with UCLK at 1.4V and Memory Controller SOC voltage at +50mv

Thanks to your video I got my 3200mhz 64GB kit running @ 4000

I downstepped my 2x16GB mushkin ddr4 with stock 4GHz after a first OC test with 4.26 GHz down to 3.733 and CL timings from 18 22 22 42 down to 16 19 19 36 with 1.45 V and I got the best TimeSpy benchmark result in 4K so far. Getting these sticks overclocked to 4.26 GHz was the reason why I had stuttering in games every 20 seconds. GPU is a 3080 and CPU is a i7 10700KF @ 5GHz.

You are a wealth of information, knowledge and experience Tom. Thanks for sharing it 🙂

you sure that's no DJR? CJR is generally hard to clock above 4266.

Why the fuck do people even down vote these kinda videos? Been watching your stuff since 2011 channel is Underrated

[soulbytes]

thanks very much .. i can push my Team TForce RGB ddr 4 3600mhz to 4000mhz with xmp setup without upping the voltage.. going to give a shot on 4400mhz

[OlettaLiano]

Good video. My RAM is currently running at 3733 @ 1.5v with timings of 14-15-13-30-43-280 1T FCLK=1867

[jeffreypaul]

This is great! Future idea, vid on memory timing optimization. That confuses me to no end tiny sir.

[justinsugay]

Very valuable info. I appreciate your time, effort and approach. Helped me learn and understand memory behavior loads more (pun intended). Thank you!

[dzcasanova]

What bout changing the TRas and TRFC you didn't talk about those, how should you change those ? And what about sub timings

[zneqtlv]

Him: goes up to 400ghz like it's nothing
Me: instant BSOD from adding 100ghz

[johnpettigrew]

Must have lost the silicone lottery with my sticks because I cant even get my 3000mhz rated to a stable 3200 mhz

[curbthepain]

I encourage anyone willing to tinker to start from base timings not xmp. Using xmp gives you a high frequency baseline but its generally easier to tweak one thing at a time after achieving tight timings. Then from there boosting the frequency and altering the timings and voltages post to get higher frequencies. Thats what I like to do to streamline the process. But, thats just my opinion, dont take it for gospel.

[rodrigocravo]

Can someone help me? I have the corsair vengeance rgb pro 3600mhz I turn on the default XMP to 3600.. in the task manager appears ''64gb 3600mhz'' but in cpu ID appears only 1600 in DRAM frequency.. is this normal? if not can someone help me? thanks for the video

[techtrip]

stopped at 10:33, you explain nothing.
why was casL ok at 18? how do you know to go from latency to delay? what are the purposes of each setting that is being changed? will raising the delay negate the higher clock speeds by increasing ns or maybe produce the same result of 3600 at 19?

[natalie]

This is showing gear 2. I went for 3466 CL12 Gear 1 instead of 4000 CL16 Gear 2 because the memory controller in gear 1 is 1733MHz instead of 1000MHz. At gear 2 you would have to get your ddr4 to 6933MHz to get the same speed for your memory controller and that just isn’t going to happen. Plus the lower latency makes up for some of the loss in memory bandwidth. You can use this same technique with AMD Ryzen processors. The memory controller speed matters.

[emregocmen]

Thank you mate. The benchmarks are really insightful!!!
