That happened to me... they said that the max supported was 2666, but I bought 3200 and it does indeed work. However, I do understand why they say that: It's not simply plug-and-play (at least with my RAM and chassis), there was a process to get it to boot the first time with dual-channel at 3200Mhz. But after that, it is rock solid.
Yeah, that's exactly what I would suggest as well... For his own understanding, it's always great to have a way to measure and compare old and upgraded, to even see if the upgrade was worth it. Then we could either add both on the rank or update it in the future, it's a decision of the user
Up to you, really. That's why we have 2 ranks, one for stock (no CPU/GPU OC) and the other for whatever OC you would like to apply (just let us know what settings you've used)

2933MHz is the max that PCS support for whatever reasons that may be.
I'm really impressed by the GPU temperatures of those new 3080 DTR RecoilsMy new recoil...
I scored 24 538 in Fire Strike
Intel Core i7-11700K Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (notebook) x 1, 65536 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}
11900K was my original choice but they couldn't get it stable.
No overclock yet
Time will tell if that was a technical* reason or a in-stock reason.
That's not something for us to assume, if you're interested then ask PCS.
The GPU temperature looks really sweet.My new recoil...

Someone with a Valeon and 3200 Mhz CL 20 gave me some support (by the means of screenshot from his PCS laptop) to clear the air at this:
No one is arguing that, I’ve said it in other threads that laptops support up to 3200mhz without too much issue, what’s being made clear is that 2933mhz is what PCS choose to support. That’s their choice entirely and I’m sure they have their reasons.Someone with a Valeon and 3200 Mhz CL 20 gave me some support (by the means of screenshot from his PCS laptop) to clear the air at this:
PSA: PCS Valeon, Ionico or Recoil 15 with AMD Zen3 CPU do support 3200 Mhz RAM. Screenshots
Hey there, Here I'm providing proof that any Tongfang laptop 2021 sold by PCS with AMD CPU do support DDR4 3200 Mhz even at CAS latencies lower than 22. Case shown in example is from @Skyclear84 Valeon, which has been equipped with HyperX Impact 1,2v 3200 Mhz CL20. These are the screenshots...www.pcspecialist.co.uk
Ideally on AUTO, but if you use MAX, just let me know and I'll add a note on the rank, as MAX fans do impact on performance and people need to know that for fair comparisons.
There are 2 things you need to do in order to have proper scores:
I would only use DDU in case you have any issues. Otherwise, just a custom install of the Nvidia drivers (yes, directly from their site) with the "clean installation" option marked should be good enough.
