Windows 11 Pro Build - 22000.282 Processor AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core at 3.60 GHz - Overclocked to 4.3ghz. Installed RAM 32.0 GB = 2 x 16 GB G.Skill Hynix F4-3600C19-16GSXWB Sniper X Urban Camo. System type 64-bit, x64-based processor. GPU AMD 5700 XT. Power Supply: Antec 1000 Titanium grade 80+. I have 32 GB of RAM overclocked to 3600, but the CPU suggests 3200. My motherboard supports it easily. Someone suggested using Calculator for Ryzen and lowering to 3200, but thought better to ask here first. Previously, my PC crashed when running at 3600 or 3200; after updating my 1.5-year-old BIOS, those issues disappeared. I upgraded the PSU from 600 PSU to 1000 this week. My PC is now stable at 3600 and passed all stress tests. There could be future problems if I don’t reduce RAM to 3200.
Gskill Hynix kits don't perform well with Ryzen processors. Expect some consistent launches, though the experience won't be ideal.
If there are no issues, everything should function properly. The CPU’s memory controller is designed to work with DDR4-3200, but higher speeds are acceptable if they improve performance. This is essentially another form of overclocking, similar to the frequency boost you applied earlier. Given the RAM specifications match that range, it should operate smoothly without limitations. Long-term stability could be affected by silicon aging, though this isn’t certain. With your intention to push speeds further, there’s no reason to worry about it.
