Go to solution Solved by Tristerin,

If your boards memory controller doesn't mind, you can OC it further to whatever it finds "fine" - I run 3600mhz on B450 (3200mhz memory controller) with a R7 1700 (2666mhz memory controller) - its about dialing it in to work, and a tad bit of silicon luck.

I have an ASUS ROG STRIX AM4 B450-F Motherboard that supposedly supports up to 3200MHz of Memory, I have 2x8GB 3200MHz RAM. If i overclock it will it be able to perform at overclocked speed?

CPU is Ryzen 5 3600X btw.

Yes, if your overclock your memory it will perform like overclocked memory.

Perhaps I am missing the point in your question, but yes if the memory works; it works.

You will know if the overclock fails, whether it's worse performance or the system just crashes. 

 

3200 is pretty reasonable for a B450 board and a third gen CPU, you're not really asking too much from your system.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The point of my question is that if i overclock over 3200MHz while the Motherboard itself supports up to 3200MHz; will i get the higher overclocked performance or will it perform as 3200MHz still?

Yeah the extra performance will be there.
