Ryzen ram

I think I might have screwed up with my ram purchase. Basically bought a pair of 8GB Corsair vengeance rated 3600mhz CL18. I heard that Ryzen runs better with faster ram but mine is CL18, as far I've read it's slower when rated highest?? For example compared to cl16?

Should be good enough for c16 with a bit of +v

Sorry I'm dumb. How do I achieve this exactly?

Which Ryzen CPU is this for? The new generation seem to be less fussy with RAM and don't lose/gain anywhere near as much as the original Ryzen chips with different memory speeds.

3700x

Dependant on the motherboard, enable D.O.C.P profile (could be called XMP) in the bios.
This should enable:
3600MHz, 18-19-19-39, 1.35V
so your goal would be to get something like 16-16-16-36 and found the lowest voltage it would work. Test for stability few pages up is the great advise post about how to do it:
