Overclocking will understandably be very much dependent upon luck of the draw with your individual kit. As such, we don’t assign too much weight to the overclocking results that we see with a sample size of one. There’s no harm in a quick tinker though.
Given that our set was already running at 1.45V on the Intel Z690 test platform, we didn’t fancy pushing voltages higher. As such, we stuck with 1.45V and the tight default timings and checked how far we could bump the frequency up.
Our best result was 3733MHz using the standard 1.45V and 14-15-15-35 timings. Given the out-of-the-box specifications are already slick, an extra 133MHz via overclocking is perfectly reasonable.
No, this isn’t a particularly large speed bump, but it’ an extra few MHz for no change in timings or voltage.
