How to overclock computer RAM

Overclocking your computer's RAM increases memory speed and improves PC performance, resulting in smoother operation and faster task processing.

Simple ways to overclock computer RAM.

Method 1: Overclocking your computer's RAM using XMP

To do this, follow the steps below:

Step 1: First, open the CPU-Z application that you have installed on your computer. Find and note down the following information: DRAM frequency and timing, RAM timing (in the SDP tab), as these are the XMP settings that the BIOS uses.

Tip: If you haven't installed CPU-Z yet, you can go here to download and install the software.

Step 2: In this step, your task is to access the BIOS.

Depending on the computer model, there are different ways to access the BIOS ; you can find more details here.

Once in the BIOS, navigate to Ai Tweaker or the motherboard equivalent and set it to XMP .

Step 3: Adjust the RAM parameters to match your chosen XMP profile.

Step 4: Finally, save the BIOS changes, restart your computer, and perform a stress test.

Method 2: Manually overclock your computer's RAM.

Step 1: Follow the instructions above with XMP and perform a stress test. This step will obtain the following parameters: RAM frequency and timing.

Go back to the BIOS and set the Ai Tweaker option to Manual. Next, increase the DRAM voltage value to 0.015v.

Step 2: Increase the CPU VCCIO Voltage and CPU System Agent Voltage by 0.05V (from 1.15V to 1.20V).
Step 3: Next, change the timing (also known as DRAM Timing Control). Here, simply change the three timing settings using the timing values ​​you noted in the previous steps.
Step 4: Check for stability and repeat the steps.

2. The best RAM overclocking software currently available.

2.1. CPU-Z

CPU-Z is one of the best free overclocking tools and software available today. The software is designed to gather system information such as DRAM frequency and timing, as well as the Timing Table information that the BIOS uses for XMP settings.

Download and install CPU-Z Portable here.

2.2. Memtest86+

Memtest86+ is designed and used to perform stress tests. To download and install Memtest86+, click here.

2.3. XMP (Extreme Memory Profiles)

XMP is an overclocking technology developed by Intel that users can enable through motherboard firmware or a utility. With XMP, the firmware is allowed to automatically configure DRAM voltage and latency.
