    Please no!
    Like it isn't enough when they screwed up their Catalyst drivers CPU auto-overclock.

    So this tool will attempt to “auto OC” your RAM then, interesting. I didn’t know that could be done outside the BIOS yet.

    I wonder how it handles RAM voltage — will it take a user input value for example.

    My understanding is that memtest86 has the “best” approach to Ram stability testing since it boots from a thumbdrive/outside windows so I wonder if this tool will restart have the ability to restart the PC and test in the same way or some such.

    Maybe this will help achieving higher ddr5 frequency.

  5. Why are we overclocking RAM instead of just running it as-fast as it'll run out-the-box? If everyone knows RAM can run at X, why even bother with the low end advertising?

    I've had the experience where if I use cheaper mother boards my RAM doesn't run at the advertised XMP speeds. In such cases it might be useful for people who don't want to take painstaking hours to test each timing/frequency/voltage value/combination with memtest86 and just want an easy one and done solution. Assuming it actually works.

    Or, maybe a user can use XMP fine, but want to push the RAM even further (but again don't want to take the painstaking time to manually tune and test it). I'm just wondering if the tool will actually work and provide a stable/safe overclock that also doesn't waste too much overhead unnecessarily.
