Oc ram isn ' t guaranteed to be stable though , especially with a cup oc , although you can return it if it ' s not . Raise the village in . 02 V increments . Use memtest 86 to confirm . And uh , you really don ' t want single channel for gaming . I ' d just upgrade with a second stick ASAP before doing any of the above . Though if you are single channel you really want fast ram so maybe see how high you can get it at 1 . 35 V . <| sep |> Yes , in part . I don ' t see anyone disputing that . Do you not see how my comments saying tgat are getting mass downvoted ? <| sep |> Also called happy paws <| sep |> And you ' re going to turn 28 the next year . It ' s far batter to be a 28 year old who has graduated than a 28 year old who quit just shy of graduating . I ' m proud of you for hanging in there . Now finish your degree !
