Does it really matter in gaming or other areas?
CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600 paired with a Noctua NH-U12 cooler
Motherboard is a Gigabyte A320 M-H...
I previously overclocked to around 2667MHz, but after a BIOS update it returned to standard. So it's possible
I enjoy playing Cyberpunk 2077

My RAM is
HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) at 2400MHz DDR4 Memory - HX424C15FB2K2/16

The RAM speed on Ryzen chips really impacts performance. You'll notice improvements after overclocking up to 2667MHz, though it's best to aim for 3000MHz or higher with these processors since they benefit greatly from fast memory. Your system can support 3200MHz kits, offering good value if you plan to upgrade soon. Increasing from 3200 to 3600 MHz will give you a few extra frames, but anything above 3000 should provide a noticeable performance boost compared to your current setup.

Yes. We raise the frequency in small steps, ensuring there is no risk involved.

Yes, you should gradually raise the clock speed until you find the most stable setting. You might also want to boost the voltage; values under 1.42V are suitable for DDR4 memory, while anything above isn't ideal for continuous use. Checking video tutorials on safe memory overclocking can be helpful.

@2886MHz appears reliable.
I plan to review some details since I have no knowledge of voltages.
I'm not anticipating much, only a slight improvement in FPS.
I understand that for improved gaming performance I would require a more powerful GPU.
