Fragsman Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I've readed you can simply buy 2400mhz Kingston Hyper X and OC through simple Profiles in Bios. You don't even adjust votajes and such. Is that true? if so I'd get those sticks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I dont know about any "profiles" in the BIOS besides XMP. So if you bought 2400 sticks you would need to manually adjust it. With such a small increase in speed (on the low end), jumping to 2666 shouldnt require any more voltage. If your unluckly it would be 1.35v from the stock 1.2v many low speed memory uses. There is always a chance the 2400 ram cant go higher which is why it was binned so low in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found the information on vendors. Looks like a copy paste but is in spanish. This is the original text.

You would need to manually loosen timings and bump up the voltage to get 2666MHz stable, and would most likely wind up being around 1.35V and CL17. if you want to run at 2666MHz your better off buying a 2666MHz CL15 kit and run it in XMP,.. best option on your current budget.

Oh ok NVM. The propaganda looks a bit misleading. it says it can be OC as it if were something easy without tampering with the voltajes. So yeah.. you can basically OC any memory (I guess) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) That's correct, you can OC any memory kit,.. but your results will vary, based on the quality of the IC's used on the modules. HyperX sells high performance memory kits that run 2400MHz CL12 and 2666MHz CL13,.. but not all the IC's tested will do those tight timings. So they provide a cheaper mid-range kit using the lower binned IC's to recoup loss/waste during production. The higher binned memory IC's with tight timings overclock vary well but are expensive. In my Z270 WorkStation,.. I run Corsair 4x8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL10 kit, at 3466MHz CL14 1.35V fully stable @ 14-14-14-34 timings. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/Extreme-Performance-Memory/DOMINATOR%C2%AE-PLATINUM-32GB-%284-x-8GB%29-DDR4-DRAM-2400MHz-C10-Memory-Kit/p/CMD32GX4M4B2400C10 Edited March 21, 2019 by Braegnok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be really good yeah for 1080p gaming i5 9400F and 1660ti no probs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
