Hi guys!
I am a complete noob in overcloking — sorry if my questions are stupid.
I got ASRock B550 Pro 4, Ryzen 5 3600x and 4x8 Patriot Viper 3000 Mhz RAM (pv416g300c6k). RAM worked good on 3000Mhz with 16-18-18-36 timings @ 1.35v. Typhoon Burner says that it's made by Hynix, but it gives no info on the chip, it's listed as H5AN8G8N??R-TFC. Having googled a bit, I'd assume it's AFR or MFR.
So, I really wanted to make this RAM run at 3200 MHZ. First I just changed the frequency from 3000 to 3200 in the XMP profile, but the system failed to boot and then restarted with 2133Mhz (non-xmp default). I then tried to loose timings and made it something like 17-19-19-38; it worked but for some reason CL automatically changed from 17 to 18 and I assumed it is not really worth it. After that, I returned to 16-18-18-36 timings but increased voltage from 1.35v to 1.39v.
Now at 1.39v it booted and has been working stable for the past 2 days. I did some work (not really demanding software though), watched videos/streams and, I think what's most importantly, played around 5-6 hours or AC:Odyssey with no issues. I also ran Memtest64 and HCI Memtest about 6-7 hours each with no errors. Question is, am I good now? Is there anything to worry about regarding voltages or anything else maybe? I didn't change SoC voltage (it's on default 1.1v and, while I don't have temp sensors on the ram, I don't think heat output increased — at least mobo and cpu temperatures remained the same). I have no plans to overclock it further, I just want to have stable 3200Mhz CL16 RAM with a voltage that will not make it degrade faster than it should.
