Question What should I overclock

[lrot123]

Hello. As the title says, I am wondering what I should overclock and what order should I do it in.
Specs:
ASRock B350 Pro4
GTX 1060 3gb
AMD Ryzen 2600x
Corsair Vengeance 2400 MHz (I believe this is correct it may be 2133mhz though, I will check tomorrow)

I currently only play fortnite but want to get the most performance possible. I heard overclocking ram helps ryzen out a lot but don’t really know how to do that, so if someone could take the time and help me that would be amazing! If not, what should I overclock and does the order matter?

The first thing you should do is grab the Ryzen DRAM Calculator:

And Taiphoon Burner:

And you will also need an app like MEMTest86+ to test the ram after you change settings:

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Memtest86+ is an advanced, free, open-source, stand-alone memory tester for 32- and 64-bit computers (UEFI & BIOS supported)

www.memtest.org

Then Read some Ryzen RAM OCing guides.
I used that DRAM calculator to get my 3200 MHZ Hynex AFC RAM to run at 3400 MHz with tighter timings.

And be aware that OCing RAM can be a slow, tedius process so don't expect instant results.
Take your time and do it in a methodical manner.

As far as OCing your CPU goes I wouldn't bother, it is already factory OC'd.

Ok I will try doing this later

Should I overclock my GPU?

name and model of ram and try to activate axmp in bios for ram .

You can certainly try it using MSI AfterBurner Or EVGA PrecisionX.
Modern GPU's OC pretty easily with those apps.
I OC'd my EVGA 1060 with PrecisionX before I upgraded to an MSI 1660 Ti, now I use Afterburner to OC the new GPU.


BUT,
Only OC one component at a time and test it and make sure it is 100% stable before OCing another component.
I personally OC'd my CPU and tested it, then my RAM and tested that and finally I OC'd my GPU and tested some more.

try to activate axmp in bios for ram.

Excellent point that is definitely the first step when OCing RAM.
