I have crosshair iv formula witch supports "4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066". I also have corsair dominator which comes with speed 1600 MHz.
I found option in bios to change ram speed. It was set to 1200+ MHz not I set it to 1500+ and I also have option to set it to 1700+
+ means more than the number before because i don't remember exact number
My question is if I set it to higher rate (1700+) it will be "overclocked" and could not work properly? And what does 1600(O.C) stands for? I know o.c means overclocked but my ram runs at 1600 (stock) so it's not overclocked. Does it make any difference?
I also open CPU-z and there is only 620.8 MHz in (DRAM Frequency). Should it be 1600 MHz?
Does rate speed make any difference? 1333 vs 2000?
