Thanks for answering.
My current build is 1600x with AX370gaming5 ram is 8PACK dark pro 3200mhz c14 16GB 2x8 dual kit ,so to this days im never have experience any issues aboute ram speed... from 1st day 08.2017 when build it this pc memery just set xmp profile 3200mhz and still is same of course likely most of us have played overclocking max speed i could reach of ram was 3600mhz... just picked test settings by Vortez
Now just keeping cpu oc at 3.9 (can go to 4.1 but overclock is do it by autotuning software gigabyte) with xmp profile .. but for me 3.9 is fine..
However just wondering if put all on X470 board maby could unlock some of features thats ryzen cpu got....

I see .. otherwise just compare 1600x and 2600x they got almost same features expect Precision Bost 2 and XFR2
1600x is
The “Zen” Core Architecture
AMD SenseMI Technology
AMD Ryzen™ Master Utility
Virtualization
Enmotus FuzeDrive™ for AMD Ryzen™
AES
AVX2
FMA3
XFR (Extended Frequency Range)

But this (2) at 2nd gen could be just indication and technology is it same same one like to gen1 ....
And of course 2600x max bost clock 4.2 1600x 4.1
Silicon lotary:)
And of what i could read and found like guy up says will be maby possible higher oc memory.....
But only some one who have tested could say it...
