Upgrading from 5200-6400mhz with a 14700k?

[Clarence Boddicker]

I’ve currently got 2x32gb 5200 ram paired with a 14700k. I’ve read that 6400 will run fine with the cpu even though intel says that the max supported speed is 5600.

Just wondering if anyone’s got any experience of going with a quicker speed that 5600 with a 14700k, and if it worked ok?

Will it be worth it for the amount of extra fps gained?

Unless you are doing something like competitive gaming with a high-end card at a low resolution, or you absolutely hate losing a few FPS in the lows: no.


It is overclocking the memory controller, so there's no 100% guarantee, especially with dual rank 32GB modules.

Ok thanks, I’ll stick with the 5200 for now then.
