So I followed Anthony's overclocking guide, as well as trying a guide from HardwareUnboxed, and other tidbits on Youtube.  But I can't seem to pull off any overclock at all on my RAM, even the smallest overclocks aren't stable on games and higher ones that it looks like I should have no problem with won't post and reset the BIOs.

I'm running:
R7-3800X
X570 AORUS Master
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB(4x8) 3200MHz 15-15-15-35(XMP)

I'd like to either crank it up to 3600MHz without losing timings, or just bring the timings down.  I've followed Anthony's guide to the T but changes never seem stable.  As far as I can tell it's Samsung B-die and pretty decent RAM, and the Master is pretty high end too.  I feel like it should be able to pull one or the other off if not both.

Did I lose the silicone lottery so hard that I really have no wiggle room at all?  Or is their some small setting that maybe Anthony or HardwareUnboxed missed that I need to do for the OC to take?

Did you touch the voltage? 3200MHz CL15 is not guaranteed B-die though, 3200 14-14-14-34 is (though I never recommend people to aim for B-die specifically unless they have unlimited budget)

I didn't crank it when I tried just going to 14-14-14-34 but I did when I followed the "safe" recommendations from the Ryzen calculator

and that is how much voltage?

 

also are you certain its B-die? did you check the B-die finder or that one diechecker software i forget the name of all the time

Okay I must not have put in enough voltage or forgot to up it when I finally pushed a change.

I still can't change the timings at all without bluescreens, I was able to take it up to 3600MHz and bring the infinity fabric up to 1800 at least.

Weirdly, while I was stable in synthetic testing, I finally got around to  booting up a graphically intense game and started crashing again.  Had to role the overclock to just the XMP.

Still find it hard to believe I can't squeeze anything out of this with the stability the AORUS Master should have and the RAM kit being fairly decent.
