Should I switch my ram?
First time builder. Here's my parts list, I'm picking up the GPU next week. And I have a EVGA CLC 240 AIO but that isn't online so I couldn't add it to my list. I'm wondering if I'd throttle my cpu with the 3600mhz of ram because the Ryzen 5 5600x only supports high of 3200mhz. Or would that be considered overclocking?
