Well you are talking to an OC virgin here so I've never delved into this field much. There was simply a drop down in the memory field for speed and so i hit up 3600. Surprised in this age why is does not see it automatically and defaults back to 2133MHz so that got me thinking to look at the compatibility list closer.
 
Ok thanks all. I'm getting the picture here that all the RAM speeds for my MOBO are O.C for anything over 2666MHz. That may not be a new thing to most of you but in my day none of that existed.

Consider me schooled so i will have a play about tonight and report back what occurs.
 
Right well I can report back that I've been successful in getting 3600 running. It's all about this XMP/DOCP and I found the menu. Thanks for the heads up all. Must say I do not think the ASUS UEFI BIOS is not the most intuitive or logically laid out.

Could be possible to get lower latency than the XMP but by extracting the chip brand using CPUz, a pre-determined timing set is not on the QVL list from Asus so I would be clocking it manually. Frankly for a basic media PC the gains are not worth my time in learning how to do this.

I did benchmark RAM speeds out of curiosity from 2133 to 3600 and yes that’s well worth it!

Well done folks you have all made me feel like an idiot and old at the same time.
