Pc wont boot
I'm really stressed because my PC won't boot after I overclocked the RAM. My motherboard is A320, and I had 3000MHz RAM. When I increased it to 3666MHz, the system still doesn't start up. I only hear a beep from the speakers and the cooler begins spinning, but nothing appears on the BIOS screen.
You could have damaged your memory controller. Anything above 2666 mhz is an overclock attempt, 3000mhz is possible if stable but challenging, reaching 3666mhz on a board that doesn’t officially support OC was a wild experience. RAM overclocking is tricky—timings and voltage matter. Mistakes can harm the CPU memory controller or ruin your RAM slots.
I'll try that later and let you know when I'm ready.
Big thanks, mate! I really appreciate your help.

I really like you, it's working perfectly and I'm so happy right now, but my rig isn't functioning properly.
Some A320 models offer RAM OC up to 3200 MHz, but achieving 3600 immediately is quite challenging. Schlachtwolf's advice is important to follow. Verify the specifications of your motherboards to determine a suitable overclock range. Proceed cautiously, study safe settings, and make minor adjustments to RAM timings. Don't assume your RAM will fail and simply apply higher voltage without proper testing.
