I have a B350 board and am considering a RAM upgrade. The price gap between 3200MHz and 3600MHz kits is minimal. I’m thinking about purchasing the higher-speed kit for future use alongside other upgrades. Can I revert the RAM speed in the XMP profile back to 3200MHz?

You can turn on XMP support, adjust the frequency to 3200, and fine-tune the timing manually to lower the latency from 3600 to 3200.
Confirmed functionality is active. The 3600mhz kit is listed as compatible at key points on the official site.
Some motherboards support XMP, others mention DOCP in the BIOS, but they’re essentially the same—just different names for similar features. It’s okay if it’s a mix; both XMP and DOCP are ways to boost memory performance.
