Hey there, welcome! No worries about the format—just here to help. You're running a solid setup with 16GB RAM and a good CPU, which is great for PUBG's demands. For RAM overclocking, it's definitely possible, especially if you're comfortable with the process. Your current specs look strong, so you might see a noticeable boost in performance. I’d recommend checking out guides from sites like Corsair or MSI for step-by-step instructions tailored to your hardware. Let me know if you want some links! Thanks for reaching out.

This may not be the end all be all way to overclock ram, but what I do is this: Set soc to 1.1v Set dram voltage to 1.4v to (assuming your kit is 1.35v in xmp.) Raise ram speed by 1 step at a time with no other changes. If it boots, test it in your preferred stress test or benchmark. Continue until you get to the highest speed that allows you to boot and complete stress test. For timings, it's the same process but after you set you frequency. Drop timing one at a time, by 1 point. Do this until it's not stable and you'll have your numbers. I only ever mess with the main 5 timings. It's a very long process, and can be very frustrating. Your system may feel stable when it's not, and randomly crash on you. It didn't seem to make much difference in gaming either unless you can get a lot of speed over what you already have. If all you get is 100mhz, you probably won't even notice.

It's possible to keep the frequency at 3600 and focus on reducing timing. Aim for cl16.
