Anyone Here Done Over-Clocking a CPU?

[AFTT47]

I built my current computer back in 2011. It's a 2600K Sandy Bridge. I'm kind of amazed that this 7-year old build is still a good performer by today's standards. Moore's Law (the doubling of chip capacity every 18 months) is definitely dead.

Anyway, I'm now looking at a Coffee Lake 8700K build around the ASUS ROG Maximus X Formula Motherboard. I'm doing this because of my involvement with flight simulators. I use X-Plane 11. The biggest hurdle I'm running up against is memory capacity. I currently have 8GB. My MOBO can go up to 16GB in theory but my research has lead me to believe it won't in reality. Even if it could, I want more like 32GB for flight simulation.

I will definitely over-clock this build. It will be heavily water-cooled with two loops - one for the MOBO and CPU and a second for the GPU. They will share a common, over-sized reservoir.

I have done many computer builds but I haven't over-clocked before. I have a poor understanding of memory selection for such. I will want a memory speed of 3200 MHz because that is about the sweet spot for the most bang for the buck. I will not want to go much higher than 1.35 volts. Going higher frequency will give more performance but there will be diminishing returns. I would not consider going above 3600 MHz. Waste of money at this point.

My question (to anyone who can answer it) is can I overclock with any memory sticks rated at 3200 MHz @ 1.35V or lower and actually get that memory speed? I ask because the GSkill memory configuration website lists limited options with my chosen MOBO at 32GB. All of them are at the higher speed of 3600 MHz. But many reviewers have run the board with GSkill memory at 3200 MHz.

I would like to use 2 sticks at 16GB each so I have the option of upgrading to 64GB in the future. The high-end MOBO I have chosen should be able to handle it.
