I attempted a few days ago to increase my RAM to 3800, but it didn’t work. Then I tried 3733 and 3600, but those also failed. I checked the maximum voltage readings using the DRAM calculator, but my PC refused to boot until I reset it back to the default 3200 settings. Did something go wrong? Please see the attached readings for more details.

I think you're pushing things too far with your timing. I'd suggest staying under 3600 unless you're into it as a hobby. Also, 3200 is a good overclock, and 2667 is the standard memory speed.

Consider using a safe preset since your memory isn't at 3200. This is based on typical system behavior and recommendations.

Most memory systems default to 2667. What you see on your box is an overclock they've validated and added as an XMP profile. Without this profile, the RAM operates at 2667, which matches the intended speed for DDR4. The XMP profile instructs the motherboard to boost performance by applying these settings.

It's similar to the distinction between a 3600 and a 3600x. On ads, the 3600x appears quicker. Actually, they're the same chip and can reach the same performance level when overclocked.

This user has a modest build. Start by noting your system details. Next, find the memory kit part number with the CPU-Z SPD reference image. Then check the TyphoonBurner output to confirm the timing settings are correct. The default AM4 board runs at 2133 MHz unless the chipset supports a different speed. This info is just a guide—results aren’t guaranteed. Because your system starts at 3200MHz, you should gradually raise the memory speed, adjusting based on timing configuration. A bit more voltage on the SOC (up to about 1.10V) might help. Turn off GearDown and PowerDown features. The Trfc timing will be tight if you stick with the 16-16-16-16 pattern; consider loosening it slightly to 16-16-16-16-36-56 at a 1T rate. If 1T feels unstable, try 2T. Overall, more details would be needed to give precise advice. You have a Zen2 processor and B-die memory—those are the main things I know.

Check the details from TyphoonBurner first, then proceed with 2T at 3600.

I set the frequency to 3600 and the timings won't post. The board and memory controller need some training. As I mentioned before, gradually raise the speed from 3200mhz upwards—like 3200, 3266, 3400, etc. You're also considering relaxing the tRFC timing now, even though I'm not sure what it's doing at 3200mhz. Just keep it loose for stability, then tighten it later for better performance. A good target might be around 700.
