Hey everyone, I'm working on improving my memory's performance despite being stuck at 3000MHz instead of the 3200MHz I paid for. I'm curious if motherboard compatibility or using multiple memory sticks could help. Anyone with tips would be really helpful. P.S. I haven't adjusted the timings myself—just tried setting the memory speed and voltage between 3200/1600MHz, experimenting with voltages from 1.3 to 1.4V, but consistently get a no-post error. So far, only 3000MHz/1500MHz works. My current settings are 16.18.18.18.36. Also, I've tried overclocking the CPU to 4200MHz at 1.35V, but it didn't perform well. Maybe someone has a guide or video showing how they reached 3700MHz? I'm new to this kind of stuff since I stopped overclocking about two years ago. Looking for recommendations and any useful resources would be great.

Increased stress on the IMC and interconnects is expected. Adjusting the BIOS and setting the SOC to 1.1 could help reach 3000, though 3200 may be challenging. Zen typically improves little with an OC, so focus on PBO instead.
