Can you damage RAM by overclocking?
Overclocking your ram will inevitably reduce the lifespan of your ram modules. This is because when you overclock you are surpassing the manufacturers specifications of the module. This can in turn generate more heat and eventually destroy your ram modules.
Do you need more RAM to overclock?
In some cases, however, increasing the operating speed of RAM can directly improve the performance of the CPU. Overclocking RAM, therefore, is safe as long as you don’t increase the voltage. To be on the safer side, 1.5v is the recommended limit for RAM.
Can 2666mhz RAM overclock?
DDR4–2666 memory could use almost any DDR4 memory die. If it’s a very good memory die such as samsung b-die, Hynix DJR or CJR, or Micron e-die, there’s a good chance that you could overclock it as high as 4000MT/s.
What is the maximum voltage a Samsung B-die can run?
Voltages exceeding 1.45v is only recommended for Samsung B-die for daily use up to 1.5v. To consider is that DDR4 kits with a rated 1.5v also have PCB’s that can run that voltage as a daily driver.
How to tell if Ram is B-die or Hynix?
They used to use B-die but switched to Hynix. You can pull the heat spreader off on the side with the ram chips and look at the part number or set ram to 2v and set timings to 12-11-11-28 1t if it works at 2v and those Timings it’s b die. If it goes up in flames then it was probably hynix anyway so no great loss.
Is it Samsung B-die or e-die?
It doesn’t say if it’s B or E-die, just says it’s samsung.

Is it better to use 2 sticks of RAM for overclocking?
Even when using a RAM kit of 2 sticks, T-Topology is better for extreme overclocking (4000mhz or higher). But again for extreme overclocking it is always better to use two sticks of RAM on dual-channel for the best result.
