OC memory worth it

Free extra speed is always nice, although memory is one of those areas I've never been very lucky with.
All the memeoy I've had over the years has never overclocked that well, my 1600mhz DDR3 managed 1866mhz (Avexir 2x8gb) as an example.
The DDR4 3000mhz corsair vengance 2x8gb managed 3200mhz, you see the trend here!
My current 3600mhz DDR 8 pack 2x8gb hasnt been overclocked yet but again I'm assuming 3800-4000mhz will be it's max.
Just start with small increases in speed, then when it fails, increase the voltage slightly. loosening the timings may give you more speed but it's a trade off between mhz & timings.
