Hello guys i heard about intel s problem in their cpus.They say that the cpus are gonna be slower after the update.So i thought that i can wait a little longer and get the ryzen 3 1200,8gb of ram(2x4 2400 mhz with xmp, i ll go for adata or corsair) i have the gpu.If i oc the ram to like 2666 or 2800 or even 3200 it s gonna reduce it s  life span ?I mean the  ram is made to oc(xmp).How do i know if i oc ed the cpu correctly?I don t wan t to overvolt or undervolt.Ty and sorry for my bad english

Overclocking shouldn't reduce the RAM's lifespan. Be careful with voltages though and check the recommended voltages for your RAM and CPU. Basically so long as the OC is stable and you keep voltages as low as possible,you won't be shortening the lifespan of components in real terms. Voltages and heat are what you want to watch for on the CPU side especially, but Ryzens generally run decently cool so, even with the stock cooler, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

Undervolt = stability issues when you do a stress test. (there is alot of software to be found, to stress-test your system).

 

With overvolting, your components could also become unstable + way to hot.

If you undervolt too much yes but that's usually pretty easy to spot and certainly doesn't harm components in the way that over volting can do.
