I am a noob and i need help.
Hello everyone. I just purchased new components for my PC. The RAM I bought was a Savage HyperX 3000mhz, but the BIOS stated it was 2133mhz. I increased it to match the RAM's maximum speed, which was 3000mhz. I’m curious about overclocking it further—it was set to 4xxx and I don’t remember the exact numbers. Another question: does boosting system performance too much hurt my CPU or GPU? I’ve set everything to ASUS OPTIMAL in BIOS and the GPU as well. I just hope it runs a bit better. I know my English is still a work in progress, but thank you all for being here!
If I bought a premium for DDR-3000 RAM, I would use it at its intended speed. After all, if it fails, they have to replace it with a new one.

But ... just one stick? I can't figure out why this mistake keeps happening today...
Dual Channel = 2 sticks
I would exchange it and purchase a matching pair.

Always good to post your prospective purchase BEFORE you buy.
I would have advised you to buy a 2 stick kit of ram to operate in faster dual channel mode.
That said, since you have a discrete graphics card, you are not losing much.
DDR4 ram will all run at 2133 so you can boot into the bios and select a higher xmp setting.
But, faster ram is not all that beneficial to real app performance.
Here is a report:

Once it all works, you are not going to get anything significant out of tweaking ram settings.
Without knowing your motherboard and oc level, I can't give you a good opinion.
If anything, the graphics card seems to be low powered compared to the cpu.
You provided a comprehensive overview of the necessary steps and considerations for overclocking RAM. It’s important to note that the most critical factor is the motherboard's capability, which is often overlooked. When RAM is advertised at 3000, it means it’s overclocked using Intel’s XMP profile. To set this up correctly in the BIOS, simply enable XMP and that’s sufficient. You can check supported speeds by downloading CPUz and examining the SPD section. It’s also essential to verify the maximum speeds your motherboard supports, as you can’t exceed what it allows. Higher voltages above 3200 require adjustments, and some users have faced issues with stability or damage. Intel generally supports higher voltages than older standards, but always refer to their official guidelines. For those interested in overclocking, exploring the RAM manufacturer’s site can provide insights from real users and expert advice.
Your I5-7600K can be overclocked with the right components. The exact limit depends on your luck in selecting a suitable chip. As of 1/13/17, about 28% of samples can achieve an overclock at a vcore around 1.4v. For the I5-7600K, the percentages are: 5.1% at 1.4v, 52% at 5.0v, and 72% at 4.9v. In my experience with Skylake overclocking, higher RAM speeds that require more voltage seemed to limit my progress. I suggest starting with a 1.2v 2400 speed for the RAM.
If I had purchased a premium DDR-3000 RAM, I would have used it at its maximum speed. After all, if it fails, they must replace it with a new one.

I got one stick because I wanted to build quickly. Don't get upset, I plan to buy another soon.

I won't stick with just one stick.
