I just placed an order for some components to upgrade my PC. Here’s what I got: CPU – Ryzen 5 2600, MOBO – MSI B450 Mortar, RAM – Patriot Viper Steel 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB) @3600MHz. I’m curious if I can enable XMP at 3600MHz. Based on MSI’s information, the board supports up to 3466MHz, while AMD mentions the Ryzen 5 can go as high as 2933MHz for that model.

After turning 50, it's unlikely you're thinking of this, but the truth is you have a Ryzen+ chip. The maximum memory speed is still lower than what your RAM can actually reach. You can try slowing down the memory to match the CPU's limits and then tweak the timings so the slower memory runs faster overall—though it will be a bit of a hassle.
