5600 Memory OC

[RaceT3ch]

Hey guys, I heard I should OC my memory to get more performance out of my PC, and is supposed to gain more performance than OC'ing my CPU. However, I have a lot of questions.
1. Whats the matter with Samsung and Hynix? Whats different with them when it comes to overclocking?

2. My motherboard says it only supports 3200, can I get past 3200 or not? (Motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/au/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-5-rev-10#kf)
3. If it is possible to get more performance, how should I do it? Timings? Speed?
4. What would be the best program to test stability?

You have 1 16gb stick? Getting 2 will help a lot since you can run dual channel then.

Hynix can be many things, but if you are lucky it is Hynix CJR or DJR which overclocks well.

Do you know where to input timings in bios?

I have 2, don't worry.
I know where to type values in my bios though.
What should I test 1st?

Try setting ramspeed to 3600 and fclk to 1800. Newest bios is also recpmmended.
Set:
Cl 16
Rcd 20
Rp 20
Ras 36
Rc 56
Rrds 4
Rrdl 6
Faw 16
Wr 16
Rtp 8
Rfc 560 (if this is DJR 400-450 will work)
Cwl 16
Rdwr 10
Wrrd 4

Set ram voltage to 1.35v
Set soc voltahe to 1.1v
Set vddg iod and ccd to 1.0v
Set vddp to 0.9v

If this works you can try 3800 speed and 1900 fclk, but you must raise rcd and rp to 21, ras to 39 and rc to 60. Keep rest of timings equal. If 3800 does not boot try 3733 and 1866.

Thanks for the suggested settings, you sure it'll work despite my motherboard having its limit set to 3200?
I need to save my fan curves before I test it so just hang on

Well, my motherboard has way different values/names, which ones do I type in?

It's fine to clock higher than the recommended speed. My Hynix CJR 3200 runs at 4000 but high CL20 at 1.38V

Try the primary timing first (the top 5), use what Taraquiin suggested, but once at a time. tRCDRD is RCD on what he said. Use something like TestMEM5 TM5 (you can Google)

Keep the ones I did not mention at auto. If you have CJR or DJR it will work at 3600 and 3800.

Use testmem5 with usmus1 config to test stability.

I've ran my 32GB HyperX 3200 kit at 3466MHz 1.38V since I got the sticks few years ago. With both R5 3600 and R7 5800X.

Is that a better config than the extreme or whatever I've used?

Someone has interprented the errorcodes so you get an indication if what is wrong. It us not 100% accurate though.

Alright, for me though any error is an indication that something's wrong. Sucks though that this 3466MHz is the absolute maximum for these, even with 1.45V I can't get the next step (3500MHz) to work stable.
