I want to over clock my RAM but I've never done it before. I have looked up some information from the Corseair official website and know that I cannot go no more than 1.4V (that's a good thing for me to learn) .

I want to increase the voltage from 1.2v to 1.3v for now as I read that putting it too high too quickly might cause instability issues.

System Memory Multiplyer I have currently left on "Auto" that is 21.33.
I have left everything else as "Auto" or as it already is by default in my BIOS.

I currently HAVEN'T made any changes to my RAM settings as I don't want to end up with a non functional PC.

Here are some images of my RAM and PC specs.

That I already know, but I don't know what System Memory Multiplyer it should be set to for my RAM and I don't know if I should just set it right to 1.4v right away or just go up by one volt.

XMP sets voltage automatically

That's odd, because I can change it for my RAM settings if I type something on the selected row.

Voltage is set to "Auto" but would it be better if I set it to 1.4v so it's not currently not over volting?

#

No, Auto sets it to what it needs, usually XMP is 1.3 or thereabouts

CPU-Z shows 1.5v

GTA V is now stuttering. What I'm currently doing is running Prime95 to stress test my RAM.

After a 2 hour test, everything seems to be fine.

GTAV runs on an old engine and is not made for high end systems

#

I've heard anything over 150 fps or so stutters

#

Unless they've fixed that now

My PC is quite old. Around 8 years old. After stress testing my RAM, the game has no issues. My monitor is 60 FPS but I have the game FPS unlocked due to my old hardware. (No screen tearing as I'm using AMD Adrenaline to fix that)

Oh that’s strange then

Yeah, gta stutters at anything above 140ish fps

#

The game engine just can’t handle it

#

If you cap it to below that (around 120) then the stuttering should stop

Thank you for letting me know! 👍. Either way I would say that my issue is now resolved. Thank you everyone for your help!
