OCing the RAM will raise the temperature of the nearby area for a few degrees.

===========Chapter 1:unlocking the Over Clocking menu in the BIOS=============
Go to
Advanced > OverClocking Performance Menu
Set
OverClocking Feature to
Enabled.
===========End of Chapter 1============
===========Chapter 2: Test if CMOS clear resets the RAM timings============
Go to
Advanced > OverClocking Performance Menu > Memory Overclocking Menu
Set
Memory Profile to
Custom Profile.
Increase the number of
tREFI by
10.
Save and reboot to see if the number takes effect.
Now shutdown and hold the power button for
45 seconds.
Once released, press again to boot up
Once boot up go into the BIOS menu, go check if RAM timing has been reverted to default but still on custom profile.
If it does then it means you can clear the RAM settings using the full CMOS reset technique.

============Chapter 3: Raising Uncore to +125mV============
Edit: As of 2019/06/20, +125 worked during my testing and has been stable for more than 3 weeks already.
Memory controller is one of the areas that the the uncore is managing.
By raising the uncore voltage, your laptop's memory controller will be more stable when running high frequency RAM.
Uncore is acknowledged as System Agent in the ThrottleStop.
So once you raise the uncore voltage in the BIOS, you need to boot into Windows and raise the System Agent's voltage to the same offset value to prevent crashing once ThrottleStop is loaded.
To raise the uncore voltage go to:
Advanced > OverClocking Performance Menu > Uncore
Set
Uncore Voltage Offset to
125.
Make sure
Offset Prefix is set to "
+".
Now go into Windows and set the System Agent for all your profiles in ThrottleStop to +125mV.
============End of Chapter 3=============
============Chapter 4: Raising the Frequency to 3467MHz===========
Edit: As of 2019/06/20, I have been running @3467MHz stable @1.2V for my Samsung RAM for more than 3 weeks already.
RAM timing research is long and painful, there are many trial and errors
Thanks to
@Johnksss and
@Falkentyne for the help during the research.
This is my RAM's part number:
View attachment 173052
Here are the parameters:
If anything goes wrong, hold power button for 45 seconds to clear the RAM timings.
Please note that you can push
tREFI to
65535 to increase the speed on Read.
If it doesn't boot, try raising the
tRFC by
10~20 and see if it boot. If it doesn't, try raising for more, or you can raise the tCL, tRCD/tRP, tRAS to see if it boots, if the all the timings you have tried are already reaching the max, it means your RAM simply can't run at 3467MHz
For your own knowledge:
tRAS = tCL + tRCD/tRP + tRTP
tCWL: Usually =tCL or =tCL-1
tREFI: Larger RAM size will need more frequent recharge, setting this one too high may cause constant freezing.
tRFC:Setting this one too low will cause the laptop not being able to boot.
tWR: Remember that tWR is always twice more than tRTP, if you set it less you will have high chances getting black screen.
If you see any
blue screen or
error it means your
tRFC timing is too tight.
If you see any
Freezing it means your
tREFI is too loose.

Now go get some memory testing tools to test and see if you can pass their tests without any errors.

Good luck fellow members!
The Balance plan with slider actually break the behavior of the CPU. By setting to High performance on the slider you are forcing your CPU to run at the highest frequency. That slider is called cancer slider by many of our forum members. Using the high performance plan (Not the slider) is to simply avoid the slider from affecting our tweaks.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
