Your CPU caps at 3200MHz, but boosting your RAM to 3600MHz may cause instability or crashes.
Your setup can handle OC operations smoothly when the components support them and operate at full capacity.
Unless you possess a high-speed memory controller such as those found in Ryzen 1st and 2nd generation chips, where technically faster RAM could be supported on the motherboard, performance was greatly restricted by the CPU. This made most standard RAM overclocks unreliable. Of course, you mentioned that instability could occur at speeds like 3000 or 3200 MHz. Some individuals assumed their memory solution was faulty because their Ryzen 1st generation couldn't reach 3200 MHz—this was actually quite typical and stemmed from the limitations of those memory controllers.
