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. We were able to get the memory up to 6400 MHz by upping the voltage to 1.45V. After that we tried to go up to 6600, but had no luck, we even upped our voltage to 1.5V and loosened our timings. So our final overclock was 6400 MHz with the same timings as the XMP profile.
Here are a couple tests using running the kit at 6400 MHz…
