[SOLVED] overclocking ram

[KeithK2006]

I recently built my first pc https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/t2kQp8 and want to overclock my memory.
I searched up a bunch of videos and downloaded ryzen dram calculator, one problem I had was there is no b550 option in the motherboard section, what do i do?

Can you not just enable XMP in the BIOS?

 

[KeithK2006]

I already enabled XMP and my ram is at 3200mhz, I was thinking about overclocking my ram to 3600 (if thats how it works) just to squeeze a little bit of performance out of it (Sorry im new to all of this)

I think memory runs at 2133mhz by default and by enabling XMP it now runs at 3200mhz so it has been overclocked Well,that's how Ive always understood it anyway.

oh okay! thanks for the help 😀

Wait, but are you sure that I can't overclock further? Because i've seen people in videos do it

To be honest,i didnt even know you could do that! Just read about it.. Sorry,it's a little out of my league so cant advise you any further as it's not something Ive ever tried.

 

[KeithK2006]

that's allright

that's allright

Just a tip don't mark your question solved till it is, people with more experience will stop looking at it.

Yes it is possible to overclock the memory speed past the specks, or at least make the timings better by manually setting the values then checking the stability.

When you get a answer like this.

That should tip you off that the wrong person is trying to answer a question and they don't have the answer.

oh true, sorry about that, thanks for the clarification though

Some motherboards have an option to apply pre made overclocks on the same mobo, like msi's "oc try it"
