ASGARD VALKYRIE DDR4 3600MHz 16GB (8GBx2) Review

Overclocking

When overclocking memory, it can be done in a variety of ways including increasing the frequency, slackening timings and changing the relevant voltages. Of course, a combination of these measures can also be done to get the very best performance. When we overclock memory in our reviews we go for all out frequency. This is primarily done by tweaking the DRAM frequency within the BIOS. To do this, we take the default clock speed, which we set based on the JEDEC profile, or via XMP if the memory modules allow it, and then increase the DRAM frequency step by step while keeping timings and voltages the same as per the JEDEC or XMP profile. Once we increase the frequency, we boot into Windows and test stability using AIDA64’s built-in memory benchmark test. If the overclock is stable, we boot back into the BIOS and further increase the frequency of the modules and re-test for stability.

Unfortunately, we saw no overclocking results on this kit, as soon as we tried going anywhere above the rated XMP spec we ended up crashing instantly, never even getting to a blue screen.
