I find ddr4 stupid easy to overclock but never had any look with ddr3.
I/we are currently upgrading a friends pc on a very strict budget. I thought overclocking the ram will be more cost effective then buying a faster kit.
He is 16gb of ballistix sport ddr3 1600mhz 2 x 8gb sticks.
We have seen a lot of info online showing the games he play respond very well to faster ram.
What would be the basic steps in overclocking ddr3.
With ddr4 I know it's as easy as set XMP up the voltage to 1.4v and start upping the multiplier.
Using the basic oc I have my 2666mhz kit at 3200mhz. But again with ddr3 just no joy
