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 6000 MHz. Without even having to change anything I was able to get this kit to run at 6200 MHz. After that the system either would not boot or would not be stable. I wanted to get a little more out of the kit so I set my voltage to 1.45V and went up to 6400 MHz.
Here is how our overclocked modules stack up…
