I acquired this Patriot Viper VSR432G360C0K 2x16 kit, a 3600mhz CL20, and achieved these timings at 1.35v. I compared it to my previous LPX CL18 2x8, which I struggled with at speeds of 18-20-20-20-66 at the same setting. Should I attempt higher speeds like 1.45v, or am I taking a risk? Although this isn’t the top-tier RAM setup available, I’m impressed by the results I’ve seen so far—testing two games (Silent Hill 2 and Dark Souls 3) without any issues.

I think it's commendable to achieve CL16 from a CL20 3600 kit. I wouldn't normally increase the voltage beyond that, but I might be mistaken about that. If you encounter any unusual issues, I'd first reset things before moving on.

I used a manual to compute tRAS and tRC, but I'm unsure if those results are optimal. It seems better to aim for lower values.
