Hey everyone! I'm new to overclocking RAM and would love some advice from experienced DDR5 users. I've got a kit (2x16) with SK Hynix chips, model KF548C38BBK2-32. Currently, I run it on XMP 3.0 at CL38-38-38 with 1.1V. I've been recommended some settings: 6000MHz at CL34-40-40-96, using 1.35V for VDD/VDDQ and 1.25V for SOC. How likely is this to work for me? Also, do you think a jump from 4800 to 6000 is too much? I'm aiming for a balance between lower latency and increased speed while valuing stability over squeezing out every last bit of performance. Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

Honestly, I think it's very unlikely that your 4800 CL38 RAM will hit 6000 CL34. If it had that capability, it would typically be sold as a higher SKU. I’d suggest managing your expectations.
For starting out, I'd recommend heading over to some dedicated overclocking forums. There's a lot of knowledgeable folks there who can give you valuable feedback tailored to your specific setup.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll make sure to check that out.
Yeah, that's kind of what I’ve been thinking too. I’ve seen folks arguing for 6000 speed on other forums, but I think maybe 5200-5400 would be a safer target.
