highest overclock achievable by the corsair vengeance lpx 3000mhz? i have a kit and cant get it to finish a run of cinebench @ 3200mhz  with a r5 2600 o'ced to 4.1ghz tho i think it might be my psu since its a 80+ white 500w

It isn't your psu, 500 watts is enough for what you got probably. What is your ram voltages? Your ram might have been already oc'ed from the factory. I know Corsair Vengeance LPX ram sometimes is.

Honestly dude it isn't necessary to touch your speed on your dram. It's already fine but you could try lowering the clock speed on your oc'ed processor. 

Did you up the voltage at all or did it come like that? If it came like that then it's already been overclocked anyways from the factory.

isn't ryzen better the faster the ram tho?

Maybe if it was a more substantial overclock. I know clock speed in ram is pretty influential with AMD chips but with such a small overclock not really. If your really determined to overclock though, you could decrease your cpu voltage or clock and see if that works first.

ryzen links the infinity fabric to ram speed so getting 3200 for ryzen 2 or 3600 for ryzen 3 is really important, even if the timings are loose.

so what do you suggest i do or that its wrong with my rig?

post your typhoon readout. which IC is on your ram chips?
