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?

That's fine bubs, we can try for something like 3600 CL18, maybe hit 3800 at the same CAS latency?

The neat thing about the X3D parts is that higher frequency, low latency memory is less critical to application performance. I think you'll be fine perf wise if you scale back a bit.
