Hi all.

Overclocking CPU/GPU I've accomplished many times, but have absolutely no experience with RAM other then setting to XMP profile.

I have the below ram and would like to know what could be possible with this ram and how best to change settings to attempt a slight overclock.

I'm pairing this with a MSI MAG Tomahawk x570 wifi motherboard/5800x cpu/seasonic focus 850w psu.

Any help appreciated, and if you need some details from me, please let me know what you need and how to see them (software wise).

As micky said the ryzen dram tool is good (even if you have intel cpu).

Also what I will add though you can be surprised how effective tuning secondary and tertiary timings is. I recently dropped my ram from 3333 back to 3200 as it saved me 0.05v voltage, and the numbers were barely any different, yet my current numbers on 3200 vs back when hardly any timings were tuned is about 3x the gain of going up a mhz increment. There is guides out there but sadly they are limited, however buildzoid has some videos on ram tuning so he is worth watching as well.

Also as I understand it if you are benchmarking its only the latency and copy performance that have a relationship to real world performance.

Finally make sure you do lots and lots of stress testing, not memtest86, but use both hci memtest and karhu ram tester. Even a single error means its not a stable configuration, the only acceptable outcome is 0 errors.

Brilliant, thank you so much for that. I will have a look and report back.
 
Right, Used Thaiphoon burner to read information from RAM.. Not sure if reading is the same if I had xmp already enabled in bios or defaulted? However here are the readings. (I'm aware B-die is the thing you want but mine C-die so need to work with that).

Now need help (screen shot) of what I might need to put in my dram calculator to achieve/attempt a slightly better overclock on RAM.
