Worth it push my RAM to DDR4-3000?

Currently I am running my ADATA 32GB kit at XMP settings, which is 2800, 17-17-17 at 1.2v. It runs on the 125MHz strap. Say if I want to push it over to DDR4-3000, how should I set it up besides set the voltage to 1.35V? Also, is it worth it to run the RAM at DDR4-3000?
 
You wouldn't really see any difference except maybe in a synthetic benchmark

Say maybe just stick with XMP settings right now?

Correct, not worth it to OC.

If anything I would have fun and try to see if you can lower the voltage even more.
 
As far as ive read up on it, theres absolutely nothing gained in OC DDR4 above 2400Mhz, just execpt in benching. In realworld and gaming the difference is almost nothing.

Are you just going to up the MHz, or are you wanting to adjust timings as well?

With early data showing that DX12 can increase draw calls (more isn't better in all situations, but I digress), the role ram perforamnce plays in overall system perforamnce may change.

Well, since I'm using DDR4, and not just reading about it...

There's a difference. Is it worth it for that meager gain of 200 MHz without timing adjustments? Meh. Never mind it is easier for these CPUs to run 3200 MHz and 100 bus than 125/3000.

Of course, I'm more interesting in the forward-looking future here, so right now, nah, I wouldn't bother.
