I have a gigabyte b450 and got ripjaws 2x8 ram at 3600 with a ryzen 3400g would I be able to overclock the ram and if so how
Conclusion: Common RAM Mistakes with Ryzen
For anyone who isn’t interested in manually tightening timings and adjusting voltages, a 3600MHz XMP kit like this one or a high-quality 3200MHz kit is the obvious choice. 3600MHz is the clearly defined limit of easy performance gains from memory frequency on Ryzen, and we saw our 3200MHz CL14 TridentZ RGB kit perform at...

For anyone who isn’t interested in manually tightening timings and adjusting voltages, a 3600MHz XMP kit like this one or a high-quality 3200MHz kit is the obvious choice. 3600MHz is the clearly defined limit of easy performance gains from memory frequency on Ryzen, and we saw our 3200MHz CL14 TridentZ RGB kit perform at nearly the same level as G.Skill’s 3600MHz CL16 kits in most tests when using XMP--timings are important. For what it’s worth, we didn’t see glitches or huge performance losses past 3600MHz in any of the tests--performance just stops scaling or takes a minor hit.
On platforms where fclock can be pushed a little higher than 1800MHz, it may be worth considering a 3866MHz kit, although we gather that achieving 1900MHz fclock is relatively uncommon and pushing mclock isn’t really worth it if it means giving up the 1:1:1 ratio. AMD does indeed have decent plug n’ play support for kits >3600MHz, but making these kits actually perform better than their lower-frequency counterparts takes some manual tuning of timings and luck with components. Users will likely see far greater performance gains from buying a trusted 3600MHz CL16 kit and following the Ryzen DRAM Calculator’s recommendations than they would from trying to run a higher-frequency kit.
