While everyone technically overclocks system memory when activating the XMP profile, not many will manually overclock beyond that. We always like to give it a try though.

We were able to step up to 3733Mhz without touching any other settings. This gives us a bit higher read speeds and around 2.5GB/s more write bandwidth. Latency drops from 60.9ns to 58.7ns.

We were further able to step up to 3800MHz by bumping voltage a small amount to 1.37V and got a bit more bandwidth on both sides. Latency fell to 58ns even.

However, we were unable to get any further. The system would happily POST at 4000MHz, but no matter what we did with voltage or latency, windows would BSOD while attempting to boot up. Either way, a couple hundred more MHz gives us gigabytes of bandwidth and a notable drop in overall latency.
