OK 3.8GHz is running the test for 20 minutes. It approaches the maximum core temperature before it stops or slows down. You might manage to reach 4.0GHz without more cooling. Open your Bios, find your RAM specifications in the tools menu, or check CPUz on Windows for the details. Record your primary timings, then adjust the DRAM timing controls using the SPD settings. Set the frequency to 3200MHz. Adjust the Dram_voltage to 1.3V and stress the system. Press F10 to save and close. Good luck.
I think we're stable... I suppose. Here are the 20-minute results with the 3.8 Ghz overclock and custom RAM speeds.

On CPU-Z it shows my memory at 1596.2 MHz, which I think should be 3200, but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks for all your support through this journey. This is my first PC build and it's my first attempt at overclocking.
Great job and your boat stayed steady. If your RAM starts acting up, increase the SOC voltage to 1.2V maximum to help stabilize it. AIDA64 puts a heavy load on your system, so real-world stress tests are essential. Passing the Realbench test means you're consistently stable. Also, if you notice memory strain during testing, consider returning the PSU for warranty support. Keep a Bios profile saved in case issues arise.
