Need help with bad memory OC

Hi guys,
 
So, i had bad luck with my memory, got a terrible overclocker one. It's a XPG D80 with XMP 3200mhz cl16-18-18. I have tried to overclock it to 3600mhz cl16 at least but it doesn't work (tried using the same xmp configs but increasing the clock to 3600mhz and the voltage from 1.35v all the way up to 1.5v, no sucess). I also have tried using the DRAM calculator but also, no luck with 3600.
 
So, i can run at 3400mhz with the xmp settings (cl16-18-18). But i tested with the Dram Calculator and it was stable at 3200mhz CL14-17-17. Also, my thaiphoon burner couldnt recognize some things about my memory. I dont know wich die it is or wich PCB Revision it is. So i have imported the XMP from taiphoon to Dram Calculator and it has set the pcb to manual. I left that way and, as my memory is spectek and dont overclock so well i have put the die as Micron E/H-die (Found that spectek is micron renamed).
 
What do you guys think about those timings? With the manual PCB Revision, Dram calculator only let me use the safe preset. Should i use it, should i stay with the xmp 3200cl16 or with the xmp oc to 3400cl16?

What cpu ?

Anything over the advertised speeds will never be guaranteed and it depends on the imc and the IC's quality and some luck.

Hi, i'm using a Ryzen 3800x

Set the soc to 1.15 and check how far you can go 

As I said nothing is guaranteed above the advertised speeds. As it depends on the quality of the IC's and the imc and some luck.

Using the same timings of the xmp profile?

You can try. Some people have luck with ram stability by increasing SOC voltage. It depends on if it's the ram chips or the motherboard/CPU causing the instability. Never go over 1.2V on SOC.
