Tried OC'ing my ram 3 times. Everytime I couldn't get a post from the MB and had to clear the CMOS.

I'm using ''DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.7'' and I get these results on fast mode: https://prnt.sc/rqe4in

Why doesn't it work?
 
Solution
Which voltages did you try? Minimum, recommend or maximum? If you have not tried it yet then try maximum, you can always lower a little at a time later.

Also overclocking is not guaranteed.

OC from or to 3600MHz ? Did you try just enabling XMP ?
