Ram Overclocking Guide

I have a question, can I OC 3000/3200MHz ram to 3600MHz? If mobo does affects overclocking performance, please note that I'm using an A320 mobo

A320 does not officially support overclocking. Are you already running 3000/3200MHz RAM? Anything past 2666MHz would be overclocked on an A320 mobo.

Oh I'm sorry, didn't noticed that 3000/3200 on A320 is already OC'ed. I also noticed that 3200 on B350 is also already OC'ed.

Yes, 2666 is the standard for AMD's 300 series motherboards. 2933 for their 400 series boards. Anything past those are considered overclocked and not gaurunteed to run stable.

What if I buy 2666 instead of 3200, is it possible to reach 3200 through BIOS?

That would be silly to buy slower RAM in hopes of achieving higher OC.

As I've said before, A320 does not officially support overclocking. So, I would not expect to reach anything past 2666.

I'm actually considering to buy B350 mobo

I've seen Jay overclocked his 2666MHz ram to 2933 on B350 mobo

Then get DDR4 3000 or 3200 RAM. What CPU will you be using?

R3 2200G, without a graphic card. Do you think this RAM can handle 3200MHz? https://www.bukalapak.com/p/komputer/hardware/hard-disk-ram/j402y1-jual-ddr4-8gb-2x4gb-2666mhz-kit-cl-16-18-18-35-purple-ram-gaming-overclock-tsunami-v-gen?utm_source=apps

Since you're wanting a 2nd-gen Ryzen CPU, you should get a B450 motherboard to ensure compatibility out of the box. If you go with a 300 series AM4 motherboard, you should end up with a motherboard needing a bios update and no compatible CPU to administer the update.

I would not get that RAM hoping for 3200MHz. It's already got a relatively high CAS Latency of 16, so it would likely have to increase to 18 if it could even run 3200MHz. That's pretty high CAS. Lower CAS means faster timings.

You can get 3200MHz RAM and run it at 2666MHz if you wanted or needed.

hello im using a320 + athlon 3000g, and im oc'ed my ram (vgen tsunami 3200mhz ) to 3000mhz.. and its boot to homescreen but i don't know its safe or not for daily
