Current thoughts
I’ve heard on some forums that to push your CPU even higher you might need to slow down the RAM. Makes sense, right? I’m not very experienced with this stuff, so please don’t think too hard about it. My CPU is already running at 3.9 GHz with 1.4 volts, while others on the same CPU have hit 4.0 GHz at 1.375 volts. My next question is whether I’m missing something or if I’m just not doing it right. Also, my GPU seems to be getting boosted by +125 clock and +250 memory.

The 'silicon lottery' is probably the case, but if you're focusing solely on multipliers, RAM frequency remains unaffected; only using BCLK might require adjusting the RAM multiplier.
