      If you have an LCD model with non-Samsung memory, or know somebody with one, you can actually enable a memory overclock and test!

      Though it’s the most unstable and easily brickable of all Steam Deck overclocks, so I wouldn’t, personally. If you do have Samsung RAM… don’t even think about it.

        Is there a way to find out what ram you have without opening up the deck?

          Run: “sudo dmidecode” from a konsole window in game mode, and then scan through the output. You’ll see the make and model of the ram listed.

          FYI though both Micron and Samsung ram is overclockable.

            Thanks for that. From looking into it, is a custom bios the only way to overclock the ram?

        This is just laughably authoritative considering you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

          you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

          Feel free to pretend what you just wrote is true and overclock your Samsung RAM.

          In fact, I encourage you to do so without a backup.
