Question Overclock my Ram

[Dr1zzle]

it makes sense overclock my 2x8 ram from 3200Mhz to 3600Mhz if my Cpu only support max frequency 3200.
Cpu:AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core 3.4Ghz SktAM4
Ram:G.SKILL 3200 MHz 2x8

That CPU supports (with overclock) 4000MHz+ but your MB might not. It's also very questionable if that memory itself can be overclocked that much above it's XMP which is also a kind of overclock. Higher frequency would also cause higher latency negating much of already small gain overall, In other words, coupled with possibility of loss of stability, it's just not worth it. If it was possible to run at 3600MHz they would sell it as such for more money.

Essa CPU suporta (com overclock) 4000MHz+, mas seu MB pode não. Também é muito questionável se essa memória em si pode sofrer overclock muito acima do XMP, que também é uma espécie de overclock. Uma frequência mais alta também causaria uma latência mais alta negando muito do já pequeno ganho geral. Em outras palavras, juntamente com a possibilidade de perda de estabilidade, simplesmente não vale a pena. Se fosse possível rodar a 3600MHz, eles o venderiam por mais dinheiro.

So, both CPU and MB can but RAM is not certified for 3600MHz so it's up to you to try.

If your 3200 speed ram were capable of 3600 speed, G.skil would have used the chips in a 3600 speed kit that would sell for more.
You could get lucky, but do not count on it.

ye but i could do a xpm overclock

Don't you mean XMP ? XMP is already overclock. just instructions for BIOS to make certain settings what's best for particular RAM and in this case it's 3200MHz.

The speed supported that is quoted for a motherboard or processor is the speed at which the ram will boot into the bios.
Once in the bios, for ram to operate faster than stock it needs to be overclocked.
The better ram kits will be capable of this.
The settings will be embedded in the ram kit itself and defines the combination of speed, voltage, and timings that the manufacturer has determined will work properly.
There may be more than one set of settings.
XMP is an intel term, amd has something equivalent called EXPO.
Invoking XMP or EXPO is a motherboard short hand to extract the settings from the ram stick and apply them to the ram settings in the motherboard. Otherwise, you do the settings yourself in the motherboard ram settings.

You are on your own to go higher. This will certainly include running the ram at much higher voltage than the settings for 3200 speed.
Will it work... Posslibly.
Will it damage your ram... Possibly.
Will such an overclock work reliably.... Possibly. Run memtest or such for a full pass with NO errors.
Will such an overclock result in a noticeable benefit in performance... Possibly. Only you can tell what is significant.
