Memory kit/speed reccomendation

[Sts610]

I am looking to get this motherboard :

https://www.gigabyte.com/ca/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI-rev-10#kf

 

It has a the features I want at a great price.  

 

Does anyone have or know of a 3600mhz ram kit that will run at that speed.  The specs say 3200 but I have heard whispers of that changing with bios updates.

I already have my R5 3600.

I do plan to do a light overclock if need be.

Have the voltage settings been changed since the release as I have seen that the max bios overclock has been around 4.2ghz with the vrms still at an acceptable temperature?  

I know the hybrid vrms are not the best but this is an "if need be" overclock.

 

 

Thank you all!!!

It is very hard to overclock Ryzen 3000 as the stock boost algorithm pretty much pushes the CPU to the maximum clock speed for each load. It is very rare to have a Ryzen 3000 chip that will overclock above the single core boost, which means you may lose performance when overclocked on single-threaded CPUs(because stock single core boost is higher than most chips can do with their all-core overclocks)

 

I'd recommend you get a 3200MHz CL16 kit, and tighten the timings to CL14 without changing the voltage. Here's a literal step-by-step tutorial, and you probably will not do any trial and error.

I don't know that specific board, but have run 3600 ram with Zen 2 CPUs in B450 and X370 boards with recent bios. The ram compatibility improved a lot compared to early ones.

 

With the way Zen 2 boosts, it doesn't seem worth manual overclock anymore unless you really go hard in it, the difference for the pain isn't worth it.
