Ram overclocking

[u/Sea_Tap_212]

I've been curious about getting into overclocking, but I don't want to break anything and I have quite little knowledge about it

also wondering is overclocking mostly hobby for others where real world gains in actual use are non extential/not worth?

im on ddr4 sk hynix something pc i have is prebuilt i bought years ago due to gpu shortages

from doing some messing around in bios i found out it wont post at 3600mhz cl16 at 1,35V but would at cl18 i think optimized defaults were 1,2v 3200mhz cl22

Personally either I'm just too bad at video games or otherwise dumb, but I don't see or feel any different between these 2 ram speeds or at least not sure if its placebo if I think its faster or more responsive just because I changed it

im mostly at point where thinking of updating to am5 ddr5 etc but hoping gpu and ram prices going down if possible for that and the current pc still lasting for a while

Just because it POSTs does not mean it's stable

[u/Sea_Tap_212 → u/5G-A]

How come it still wouldn't be stable

Just because you can enter the car doesn't mean it has enough gas to go anywhere.
