Will I need to overclock RAM again? (reddthat.com)

I'm saving up to get a 5700X3D around Christmas, upgrading from a 5600G, but I want to make sure I prepare properly before I do the swap.

The RAM I bought couldn't match the C18 @ 4000 M/Ts advertised and still remain stable, but I managed to manually overclock to C16 @ 3666. Should I drop to JDEC specs before I upgrade, or is it a non-issue?

Worth noting that running a medium to heavy load on the cpu for a bit will generally loosen the thermal pate a bit

I'ma run prime95 for a bit first.

And use something like dental floss or fishing line to saw through it instead of ripping components off the CPU.
