Over clocking ram

Does it make much difference in gaming or elsewhere?
CPU is ryzen 5 3600 with noctua nh-u12s cooler
Mobo is a gigabyte a320 m-h...

My RAM is
HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4 Memory - HX424C15FB2K2/16

Updated the post .. all specs are now included...

It is possible to overclock it to 2667ish but this was last year before I updated my bios so now it's back to stock

Any idea?

As long as it's not potentially dangerous I'll give it a go

Fair enough. I do play cyberpunk 2077 @ 1080p, medium settings. would I notice any difference bumping it upto 2666Mhz ?

Just bumped it upto 2666Mhz. Will see if any difference

OK Thanks. Yes I do have linux on a USB.
Im @ 2866Mhz at the moment. Not seeing any difference in Cyberpunk ( nothing noticeable anyway )

at 2933Mhz now. Is it safe to increase the Voltage to between 1.2 and 1.5 ? It's currently at 1.2v ?

Max voltage for ddr4 is 1.45 to 1.5 depending on die.

I hear it's only necessary to increase voltages if it doesn't work well ? I'm at 3000Mhz now and I think i'll keep it there.

Blue screen. Upped it to 1.25, will monitor it

3000Mhz @ 1.25v -- No noticable difference in cyberpunk, maybe one or two fps better on average

Got a crash in cyberpunk yesterday. upped to 1.3v and no problems since.

Maybe one or two better FPS. Game loads quicker than before.
