I have a gigabyte b450 ds3h ram and team t force 8x2 3000 mhz ram - I have updated to latest bios and I need help on how to overclock ram to 3200mhz

The rest of my specs are :
R5 2600
gtx 1660 super
450w evga br psu
240gb kingston a400
1tb seagate hdd
masterboxq300l
gigabyte ds3h b450
team t force vulcan 8x2 3000mhz c 16

Is it worth overclocking for a few more fps in game? I mainly play GTA , R6S and CSGO and I plan to get a 144hz monitor so i want to pump a tiny bit of fps out of my system

Personally, I think gaming FPS performance gains will be buried in 'margin of error' by raising memory clock up only 200 Mtps (remember, it's DDR so it's actually 100 Mhz). But there is a certain sense of satisfaction knowing it's tweaked and tuned, so if you want to try I'd get 1Usmus' Ryzen DRAM Calculator tool to help you sort out what timings will need altering, and how much, to make it stable. HardwareUnboxed shows you how to use it (below). He's doing it on a Ryzen 2nd gen but the tool also works for Ryzen 2000 CPU's just as well.

I assume you play at 1080p. You won't get 144+FPS in all games with that system no matter how you overclock your RAM. Older games like CSGO will run 144+FPS but not newer games.
You need a better GPU. But you can get pretty close to 100 FPS by overclocking your GPU and CPU.

btw I don't recommend OCing with your current 450W PSU as its just enough to run that system at default.

from my own experience, also using the r5 2600, raising my ram from 3000 to 3200 showed no differance. Maybe a 1 or 2% increase in the 1% and 0.1 % lows, but thats about it. Nothing u would NEED to oc for.

IMO it dont make sense to raise speeds until 3600.

Ram works on a nano-seconds scale, the difference between 3000 and 3200 is negligible for most applications. You might see 1-3fps gains because of Ryzen characteristics, but since gaming fps is so fluid, bouncing constantly, you'd not see any real difference visually. It'd only show up in a benchmark using solid numbers like max, 1% low, 0.1% low etc.
