Ram overclocking ddr4
I have a Gigabyte X470 ultra gaming, Ryzen 7 1700X (OC to 4GHz @ 1.398v) and Corsair Vengeance LX 3000mhz RAM (16-20-20-20-38). I aim to overclock to 3466-3600MHz. My current RAM OC is 3200MHz with the listed timings at +0.00 vcore, SOC offset, and 1.4V DRAM voltage. Please help.
There are no assurances about success. The CL 16 and timing balance indicate it's Hynix, not B-Die, which will restrict your options even more.
In fact, Hardcore Overclocking has a guide for Gigabyte boards that you might find useful...

You should understand there are no guarantees to reach those speeds, and definitely no promise against needing to adjust timings to the extent that performance could suffer.
It's difficult to give a clear answer since it depends on the specific situation. There are many factors involved, making calculations complex. But, in a quick comparison, you could see that 3200 @ CL is roughly half of 4000MHz @ CL19. This suggests a slight improvement in performance for certain tasks. Still, conditions always change and other elements matter.
