Memory OC - 2666MHz to 3200MHz - Completed successfully?
Hi
My system specifications are: Ryzen 5 1600, Asus B350+, 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 DIMM CL16. I’ve successfully overclocked the CPU to 3.8GHz using the Wraith Spire Cooler. However, I’m not sure if my changes to the memory are correct. As someone new to OC CPUs and RAM, I’m a bit confused about this process.
I need to confirm whether the memory settings I adjusted are appropriate. Please see the screenshot of my BIOS for reference.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

i did not adjust the dram voltage, everything else is automatic except timing and speed which i set manually.
i believe it's only risky to increase the clock speed from 2133 to 3200, mine is the default 3000mhz, so raising it to 3200 isn't too much of a change.
please verify your ram's default speed, i think yours is 2666, and try increasing it to 3000 or 3200Mhz and see how it performs.
If it's stable, it's definitely fine. Proceed with OCCT.

to verify.
I have an ADATA 1x 8gb CL16 3000Mhz @ 2666, on my B350 gaming plus with the latest BIOS. The XMP profile was set to 2666Mhz and Profile2 to 2800Mhz. After turning XMP off, I manually adjusted it and it worked fine initially without any problems. I left everything auto, changed the manual memory timing (found on the stick), and selected 3200Mhz, which performed very well.
