I just bought my first PC online at this link and need to boost my RAM speed. I looked around YouTube and downloaded a tool called Ryzen DRAM Calculator, but I couldn't find an option for the B550 board on that page. What should I try next?

Some motherboards let you use built-in overdrive settings right when they come out, similar to the MSI OC Try It feature.

Do we need to turn on XMP inside the BIOS settings?

I already turned on XMP and my memory is running at 3200mhz. I thought about trying to push it up to 3600mhz just to get a little extra speed (Sorry, I am totally new to this stuff).

I believe my memory is set to 2133mhz normally but when I turn on XMP it goes up to 3200mhz so I think it was already being run at a faster speed before. That's just how I always thought about it though.

But wait, aren't you sure I can't go faster than normal? I've watched guys on YouTube try it and they succeed!

Honestly, I didn't even realize I could do that until now. You just have to look it up. Sorry, this is way too hard for me because I've never done it before.

Just a quick tip: don't mark your question as solved until it's actually done. People with more experience will stop bothering you when they see something like this. Sure, you can overclock memory speeds beyond what's normal or tweak timings manually to make things work better and then check if it stays stable. When you get an answer that looks wrong like this: To be honest, I didn't even know you could do that! That should give a clear sign that the wrong person is trying to answer your question and they don't have the right solution.
