Overclocking
The overclocking process was relatively straightforward and I initially tried to reach 3350MHz without any alternations in memory timings. Sadly, this wasn’t possible even after applying 1.45v. Eventually, I decided to settle for 3340MHz which required timings of 17-17-17-38. Despite this, I still wanted more and tweaked the timings slightly to 18-18-18-39 to obtain the final result of 3342MHz. This is an increase of 142MHz over the already high stock speed and the best DDR4 overclock frequency we’ve recorded thus far. Please note, it’s advisable to dial back the timings and find a more balanced overclock. During our testing procedure, it’s vital to eke out every inch of performance and find the maximum bandwidth.
