Adjust performance of DDR4 RAM through voltage tweaking.
Aim to boost your DDR4 RAM speed from 3200MHz to 3600MHz. You own four Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 modules.
What processor are you running? Which motherboard do you have? And which components are installed? Overclocking RAM involves many details, so knowing the exact parts helps determine the right steps. To check your RAM, use software like Thaiphoon Burner to examine the DRAM manufacturer and die information, or physically remove the DIMMs and note the version number (this identifies the memory IC). You can search online for the specific model to find more details.
I just checked the page again. With this board and CPU, 3600 should work fine. However, it might cause issues if the memory sticks are not compatible.
The section you're interested in is the center column, which shows a Samsung 8Gb die (sorry, it doesn't display the die clearly, but Thaiphoon Burner struggles with Samsung memory anyway, so it's not a huge problem). It looks like either C die or D die—this can be verified by removing the DIMMs and checking the version numbers; v4.32 indicates C die and v4.33 points to D die, so you should aim for D die. Make sure the center column matches consistently across all DIMMs, since mixed memory overclocking is possible but can cause issues.
I need to verify the other versions since I purchased two and am saving for another set.
You should check at least two more, since different packs usually contain different ICs. That is C site though, and while C die does reliably do 3600, it's the most annoying one to manually overclock, so if you have any mixed memory, I'd recommend against doing a memory OC, with a 5800X there isn't much benefit to it anyway
