iv got this memory installed
corsair lpx RAM.. DD4 2X8 16 GB 3200MHZ

can i overclock it to 3600mhz,never clocked before?

Dowload the dram calc and taipoonburner.

Likely, timings could be tricky. 1T will help with that.

sorry dont know what that is?
i think i bit off more than chew.

Just follow the dram calc, have to say it didn't exactly work out for me.

Hang on a minute... I assumed you had an AMD CPU. What platform are you on?

He waffles a bit but this will show you the procedure.

There are two options. Either you use the fast settings the calculator gives you or you ignore it and use the A2/B2 preset which will be faster.

I left all voltages on auto except for dram voltage. See how far that gets you. Don't touch anything else unless you find you really really need to.

So set the timings in the bios and the dram voltage. Then use the membench section in the calculator to run the default test.

This will run a little test for a 4 mins and if you get any errors you know things are stable.

Back in to the bios and up the dram voltage by the smallest increment 0.01v and then try the test again etc etc...

---

Actually before working on the ram you need to know what your max FCLK is.

The FCLK will be between 1800MHz and 1900MHz.

Set it to 1900MHz boot in to windows and see if everything is OK.... use the pc for a bit if you think anything isn't right then the FCLK is too fast and you will have to go back in to the BIOS and lower it. Keep doing this until yo find the highest FCLK the PC will tolerate.

Then set the ram frequency in the calculator to 2 x this value.

So lets say you found out the the PC is OK at 1866MHz FCLK when you use the calculator you will put 3733MHz as the ram frequency then get the fast timings or use the preset.

what to change in bios?

So you have a Ryzen that means what I wrote above applies.

Just set the dram voltage and set the primary and secondary timings from the calculator.

And set the FCLK to half your dram speed.

thanks will try this later to-day.
