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 it will not be covered by warranty.
I won’t hide that I’m amazed how high the FURY DDR4-3200 is overclocking. The main reason is the high capacity of memory modules. There were already problems with overclocking of many 16GB memory modules while here we have the whole 32GB.
As you can see above, I was able to reach DDR4-4200 CL18-24-24-44 CR1 at around 1.45V. At DDR4-4200, the memory wasn’t far from stability, but during more extended tests, there were single errors.
Below are the same settings in Cinebench R20.
The highest and fully stable setting is DDR4-4133 18-23-18-23-42 CR1 1.40V. Below you can see 1.5h of stability test and also all previous test results, which you could see on the graphs.
Considering how high is the memory capacity, the overclocking result is simply fantastic. I wasn’t expecting to see anything above DDR4-3600, and here we have DDR4-4133 at quite tight timings!
I’ve skipped lower frequencies as these results are not so exceptional while still great.
Some other stable settings are:
- 3200 16-18-18 1.35V, the lowest CL is 14, but it was generating errors up to 1.50V and was barely faster than the XMP setting
- 3600 16-21-21 1.35V – no changes in timings up to 1.45V
- 4000 18-22-22 1.35V – no changes in timings up to 1.45V
- 4133 18-23-23 1.40V – no changes in timings up to 1.50V
I’m sure that the memory is fast enough for most users, and those who need something faster can always try their luck in overclocking as there are not many faster memory kits that are using 32GB memory modules.
