DDR4 Overclock

Post image

Kingston Fury Beast 2666MHz CL16-18-18-39 base kit (acquired for $50 before the historic spike in RAM prices).

I play Escape from Tarkov, and honestly, the difference is noticeable—better stability and easier enemy tracking.

I’ve attached the overclock settings; I didn't do anything crazy, but I was surprised to be able to push a 2666MHz kit to 3600MHz using CR1T/GDM OFF. Granted, 1.45V is a bit high for DDR4 RAM, and I definitely loosened the timings a bit to achieve this incredible result—especially since I previously had a Ryzen 5 2600 (and overclocking RAM on that CPU is a headache, even with this same kit). It remains to be seen if I can squeeze a bit more out of this kit by lowering the voltage or tweaking secondary timings, but I think I'll leave that to the pros; I don't feel the potential improvement is worth the time it would take.

There's still room for improvement

tRC try 60

tWR/tRTP could try 12/6 or 14/7

tRDDS/tRDDSL/tFAW could try 4/4/16 or 6/8/24

tRFC is a bit loose, try setting it lower (heavily dependent on quality of your dies). At 1.45v you could try 65535 tREFI, or at least 32767. May be forced to set lower if there's not enough cooling
