Overclocking
Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed, so the results may vary depending on certain conditions and various hardware configurations. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what you are doing. High voltages may damage hardware, and the warranty will not cover it.
The new Micron IC overclocks better than the previous one, so reaching the DDR5-6400 is not so hard. It is harder to set tight timings as it doesn’t work well, especially with 48GB memory modules.
The memory kit could reach DDR5-6400 CL38-45-45 at about 1.40V VDD/VDDQ. It’s a respectable result, but very relaxed sub-timings bring the performance down to not much above the XMP level.
The temperature after overclocking was no higher than 60°C, so it’s quite low considering higher voltages.
The overclocking gave us a couple of GB/s higher bandwidth and about 15ns latency less. It didn’t affect gaming tests as much as we expected. The quick conclusion is that it is better to play our favorite games than waste time on overclocking, which takes a lot of time.
