Hey guys, I need to create an overclock named OC for my RAM using XMP settings and want to know if it works. Can I get my 3200 mhz ram running at 3466 mhz? I know getting 3600 mhz is really hard with a 2700x board. My RAM is DDR4, double-8gb, Geil Evo X ii AMD version going for 3200 mhz. When it comes out of the box, my timings are 16-18-18-38 at 1.35 volts. Will my system handle 3466 mhz speed? My motherboard can go up to a max frequency of 3466 mhz. Here is what my computer has: an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, Asrock B450 Steel Legend motherboard, an ASUS Strix GTX 1070 graphics card, Geil Evo X ii AMD edition RAM, and I also have a 1TB Barracuda HDD with 80 plus white power supply.

That doesn't tell me what EXACT model you mean, but it does tell me which SERIES your memory belongs to. There can be MANY DIFFERENT models within that series, and they will all look the same on paper but act in totally different ways. Take a look at these Trident Z sticks; some are amazing, while others just barely make it to the name tag with zero performance. You might also find CL 14 B-die or other Samsung chips stuck inside them—some of those could be incredibly good too!

Does your memory kit have a specific model name? And can you tell me exactly which model your power supply is, like it says on the sticker on the back or right under the box that came with it?

My RAM is DDR4, 2x8GB, Geil Evo X II, AMD edition at PC25600 speeds running at 3200 mhz. The stick has CL16 timing and uses an 18-18-18-38 configuration. You can check the link to buy it: http://www.geilmemory.com/product/?id=46 My power supply is a Zalman Megamax II with a 700W rating that gets an 80 Plus white certification details here: https://allitems.aspx

That does not tell me which exact memory model your RAM is. All I know is what SERIES it belongs to. There can be MANY different models within that series, each having wildly VARIED differences between them. For instance, some Trident Z sticks are really great and others might just barely manage the Trident Z name without being completely adequate in performance or features. Some CL 14 B-die or Samsung IC RAM on a right-platform could work well for overclocking, while other sticks only handle their own basic timings perfectly by default. You need to get the exact model number of your sticks. If you don't have it and can't find the invoice or purchase order, check the box instead. If you don't have the box either, run CPU-Z, click on the SPD tab, choose a populated DIMM slot from the drop-down menu, and look for the part/model number in the information fields.
