As title say, how should i overclock my dram? I have ryzen config and i know ryzen scales good with high ram speed, so first i want to oc my ram. I have hyperx predator 2x4 3000mhz but it is running at 2933 bcs my mobo doesnt support more without overclocking. I would like to overclock it at 3200mhz, i feel like i dont need more. And how should i know which timing to use for my ram? I see people are always chaning their timings, but i never knew which one to put. And what voltage will be enough for this overclock? Sorry for bad english, i think you will understand me.
CPU:ryzen 5 1600
CPU cooler: scythe fuma rev.B
Motherboard:B350-F strix
Ram:hyperx predator 2x4 3000mhz

GPU:rx 570 4gb strix oc
PSU:seasonic m12ii-620w
Chassis:nzxt s340, one case fan in using.
Edit: ram is placed at 2nd and 4th slot, cooler is blocking my first slot.

The hyperx predator 2x4 3000mhz cannot be overclock to 3200mhz, from one review, they said only oc to 3060mhz. Note they use them (4X4GB kit) in the intel system, for AMD ryzen, you may just use 2933mhz.

As said above, activate the XMP profile if you haven't already. If you're running at 2933/3000 MHz, that technically is an overclock already (compared to the rated memory speed for Ryzen).

If your RAM is only rated for 3000 MHz, there's no guarantee you'll be able to push it higher. And no one can tell you what timings will be stable for you, as it will always be a little different.

Okey, i tried to find axmp but i didnt find it. Did you mean d.o.c.p. maybe? I have enabled docp and that granted me boost from 2600mhz from 2933(did that when i bought pc). I used dram calculator, safe preset and it gave me settings for overclock, but for 3200mhz. Should i first try these settings/timings(sorry im noob)with 3000mhz and later with 3200mhz?

DOCP = XMP on AMD based systems.
When you enable DOCP it reads XMP from RAM sticks and sets memory accordingly (Voltage . Cl etc.)
Set RAM to 3000 (may show as 2933) and restart computer after saving settings. shut power right off before it restarts (memory training).
If it's not running or stable immediately, drop memory speed down to 2133MHz and repeat everything while raising it a notch after every successful BOOT.

I think it is not running more than 2933 because my mobo support only 2933 without oc. With overclock it support 3200++ Maybe that is why it's not going past 2933. Well when i open ram timings, there are tons of thing to do, i dont know what to change.
