I mean, do I need to overclock something for it to work?

Technically, when you run RAM at a speed that is above the base CPU spec its an overclock. and in this case you will be overclocking the RAM. Let me give you an example.

Ordinarily the RAM kit I use runs at 2,000mhz if I do nothing. However the RAM is rated to 3,200Mhz. In order to hit that speed I enable a feature in the BIOS called XMP, which applies an overclock for the RAM, bear in mind that this does also change some parameters for the CPU too.
