You're considering boosting your RAM speeds on an i7 8700 with a Z390 board. It's doable, but requires some setup and testing. Stable 2933 or 3200MHz overclocks are possible, though they can be tricky. You'll likely need to adjust both RAM and CPU settings, and monitor stability closely. Increasing your CPU base clock speeds isn't strictly necessary for RAM overclocking, but it can help overall performance. Have you tried previous attempts or looked into BIOS settings?

Non-K CPUs feature a fixed multiplier, which shouldn't interfere with memory overclocking. The non-Z series boards will cap your memory speeds at around 2666MHz, but you appear to have that addressed.
