Overclocking
The easiest way to overclock on the Intel platform is to simply change the frequency divider in the BIOS. To achieve the best overclock we try to stay with the timings that the XMP profile recommends. If we run into any issues we will bump up the voltage to see if we can get our system to boot and become stable.
The XMP profile puts this kit at 6200 MHz and we were actually able to just change the frequency divider to 6400 without have to change the timings or voltage. After that we tried to go up to 6600, but had no luck, we even upped the voltage to 1.45V. So our final overclock was 6400 MHz using all of the XMP profile settings.
Here are a couple tests using running the kit at 6400 MHz…
