You're welcome to give it a shot. I've been using GSkill 3200 (FlareX) at 3600 with roughly 1.46V for more than two years on a single system, and another instance with a GSkill 2666 kit at 3000 on a different machine around 1.4V. The most common issue in talks is that DDR4 specs need memory to function at 1.5V. If the chip reports its temperature via HWinfo64 for the DIMM, then the real concern is whether the memory can handle the heat. Voltage is just a setting you adjust to cut current; temperature matters more, especially when maintaining a target clock speed. I'm not sure if 4000 speed will be beneficial—it should work for the iGPU, but adding extra memory might increase latency, which could hurt CPU performance.

According to what I've learned, the 5000-series APUs perform well up to 2200-2300 Fclock. This means you can use 4400-4600 MHz RAM without issues. They also feature a superior memory controller, eliminating the need for decoupling at 4000 MHz.

Using Dram Calculator makes it easier to utilize the Thaiphoon Burner effectively. Reducing timings and latencies, particularly in tertiary stages, significantly benefits the GPU beyond simple speed boosts.
