RYZEN Ram speed check

[Russ holmes]

Hi. Total novice here and I need some advice on Ram speed please.
My set up is
RYZEN 3700x
2070 super
Asus Rog strix b450 gaming -F mobo
Corsair vengeance 3600mhz ram 2 X 8gb

I've checked the ram speed and it's 2666mhz
I'm guessing that's some default setting of the ram. ?

My question is should I try to change it ?
What improvements would i see ?
And what can go wrong if I mess it up ?

I've watched some vids using the dram calculater. So I should be able to do it. But looking at my mobo specs it says max speed is 3200mhz so I don't know why I've got 3600 fitted unless you can go over the max. What should I put as the speed 3200 or 3600??

Thanks.

Set the ram using XMP setting in bios
SHOULD work at right speed
BUT you may have to manually set the timings/volts if this does not post/work

Morning , so go into bios and look for some thing called XMP and that will automatically set the correct Ram speed.
