Hey, everyone!

I have a pretty simple question in regards to overclocking my RAM. I was having some stuttering in some of my games and wondered changing my RAM timings would help, so I headed on over to this article from Tom's Hardware.

However, when I changed my RAM timings and voltages to the ones suggested in the article, my system wouldn't post. The BIOS ends up reverting back to the D.O.C.P. settings and then everything works correctly.

Am I missing some critical piece of information? I figured instead of possibly damaging my RAM, I should ask here.

SYSTEM SPECS
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra
RAM: 32 GB TeamGroup T-Force Xtreem ARGB DDR4-3600
OS: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit

CURRENT RAM TIMINGS
18-22-22-42 1T

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
