No matter how fast your computer or laptop is, over time, its power ceases to be enough and it can no longer cope with the tasks you need. Then the idea of overclocking its components arises. A relatively decent increase in performance can be achieved by overclocking the computer's RAM. Just remember that overclocking leads to a decrease in the stability of the computer, so it must be done with caution and only when absolutely necessary.
Necessary
- - Computer with Windows OS;
- - CPU Stability Test program.
Instructions
Step 1
So, in order to increase the frequency of the RAM, go to the BIOS. After that, go to the advanced settings (they may be called Advanced Chipset Settings or some other similar way). To change timings, find the field responsible for this (Current Latency or similar) and set the minimum value. For example, if it's worth 3, put 2.
Step 2
Now try increasing the memory frequency. To do this, here also find the item responsible for the speed of the system bus. It may be called FSB Speed or something similar. Set the bus frequency to 1 step higher than what you currently have. It is better to change the frequency to the minimum value, no more than 5 MHz.
Step 3
After changing the bus frequency, save the settings in the BIOS, load the operating system and run the program to test the stability of the processor and memory. In this regard, the CPU Stability Test program has proven itself well.
Step 4
If testing with the utility did not reveal any problems, you can safely return to the BIOS and increase the frequency of the system bus (and with them the processor and RAM) one more step. After that, save the settings again, boot the operating system and test the stability. The cycle must be repeated until the utility shows the instability of the current configuration. In this case, it is recommended to return to BIOS and roll back in frequency 2 steps.
