Hi everyone.
I’m considering some overclocking adjustments for my current setup to boost performance further.
Current specs are:
CPU – AMD Ryzen 5 2600X @ 3.80 GHz, 6 cores, 12 threads
RAM – Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 CAS, 15-17-17-35
GPU – EVGA GTX 1060 (6GB)
Motherboard – ASUS TUF X470 with cooler Corsair H110i V2 AIO
Power Supply – EVGA 1000G
In BIOS, RAM is listed at 2166 MHz.
I aim to raise RAM speed to 3000 MHz and push the CPU overclock to 4.0–4.2 GHz if feasible.
Any advice would be really helpful.

Sure, let's start by setting up a reference point for overclocking. Begin with a standard stress test at the default frequency, then we'll assess the CPU performance. Next, proceed with your RAM evaluation.

Download AIDA64 (it's available for a month). Navigate to the Tools menu and pick the stress test option. Check only the CPU, FPU, and Cache fields. Execute the test for 10 minutes, capture screenshots, and share a link to your preferred hosting platform using IMGUR for a URL.

I also use HWInfo64 to gather voltage and temperature data, which can be compiled on your desktop during screen recordings—this is the optimal approach for system analysis.

For the sample chip (silicon lottery), you should reach around 4.2-4.3GHz with the H110i.

A solid overclock requires careful planning and patience to achieve your target.

Looking forward to your results before we continue.

The motherboard model is TUF X470 Gaming Plus, not ASUS TUF X470. Memory parameters can be adjusted manually. For the downloadable update E138822018/04/12 (6.02 MB), refer to Section 3.5 for instructions on changing overclock settings and adjusting memory frequency. In Section 3.2.2, check the DRAM Timing Control diagram. Set timings according to recommended values (15-17-17-35) based on #Cas Latency. Adjust DRAM voltage to match manufacturer specifications or use the DOCP Dram OverClocking Profile in Section 3.2.1. Note that disabling D.O.C.P. will reset BIOS settings; ensure the PC is unplugged before clearing CMOS.
