Works great at 2666MHz

Received this and installed it in my new Ryzen 5-2600 build. I have a Gigabyte b450 Aorus M motherboard. The new PC started immediately with no problems with RAM, CPU or mobo. When I read that most RAMs can be overclocked since they are all basically 2400MHz, I used the Gigabyte EasyTune app to overclock. The app makes it very easy as you don't have to enter any numbers in the bios. The app does that for you. All you have to do is select the speed you want. It runs stably at 2666MHz but when I tried to go to 2933MHz I finally got the famous blue screen of death for the first time ever and I've been using computers since DOS. This time I had to go into the bios to get my system back and reset it back to 2666MHz and it works fine. I'll update to a new BIOS and see what happens. Keep in mind that RAM sold as 2400MHz is not tested higher by the manufacturer, so some of them may not be able to go as high as others. I'm glad it's OC on 2666MHz. Any real difference? nope!

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Vulgarity
