Sorry if I selected the incorrect category, but I heard this is considered overclocking.
Hi.
After a year of using my PC, I noticed that my RAM (RAM DDR4 16GB Kit, 2x 8GB, PC4-25600, 3200MT/s CL16 SR x8, 1.35V Crucial BX Sport LT) only runs at 1200MHz.
I thought about applying some A-XMP profiles and chose Profile 1.
Now, according to Task Manager and CPU-Z, my speed is around 1600MHz.
My motherboard is TOMAHAWK B450 MAX and the Ryzen 3600 is using A-XMP safe in my case?
And why isn’t the frequency 3200MHz but 1600MHz? Am I doing something wrong? (EDIT: is it because it’s dual channel?)
Thank you!

ddr stands for double data rate
1600x2 equals 3200

^^ The statement made.
Since the memory controller moves data with the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, the actual DRAM frequency you have is 1600 MHz, and the effective rate is twice that amount – 3200 MHz.

Thank you. Everything above that is correct and safe.
Are there any aspects I need to watch out for? Is this classified as overclocking?

It works, though it might be better to attempt it. If it fails, you can reset the BIOS.

If it had taken you a year to detect your RAM's 2400Mhz speed, you wouldn't bother with an overclock, you won't see any change.

Is increasing clock speeds always harmful to a device's durability?

Likely it will last longer than your outdated system.
