Hey everyone, I updated my RAM speed in BIOS from 2133 to 2800 without enabling XMP. Just adjusted the DRAM frequency from 2133 to 2800. With this change, could anything unusual happen to my gaming PC? My specs are: Intel Core i7 8700 (non-K), 32GB Viper RGB DDR4 (3200MHz), Asus TUF Z370 gaming plus, ROG Strix 2060Super, and a 750W Platinum PSU.

It's the simplest approach using XMP. You can't just set 2800MHz alone. You need to adjust timing and voltage too. XMP is suggested.

It seems unusual, but your system can become unstable when using XMP.

Checked XMP settings and confirmed stability. The CPU remains locked, so ensure it’s compatible with the profile you’re using.

Check if there’s a resource listing voltage and other specs for 3600MHz. Look for forums or manufacturer sites that detail performance data at higher frequencies.
