I really question that, these sticks seem meant for much more intense applications given the voltage numbers you mentioned. Ryzen configurations typically cap at around 1.35 volts, anything higher risks damaging the CPU's IMC (Internal Memory Controller). Unless you're aiming for RAM speed records, it’s best to keep those away from regular use.
The system needs a board that can handle those high speeds. The processor must also meet those requirements. You don’t need to match every detail exactly, but exceeding 4400MHz is essential for the value.
Assuming fclk stays at 1900 MHz you’ll likely notice improvements beyond 4600 MHz. This is the standard XMP voltage seen on most regular 3200 CL16/3600 CL18 boards, around 1.7V and above. The IC might show slight issues but it’s usually safe to run up to 1.75V. If degradation occurs it’s probably minor and won’t be obvious for a while. However, running over 2 years at the same voltage is risky given how sensitive modern chips are. For CPUs with less than 2000 MHz clock speed, going above 4800 MHz is advisable since you can lose performance when fclk drops to around 5000 MHz. If your CPU supports 2000+ MHz, aim for 5200–5100 MHz to maintain sync and avoid desync penalties. Running above 1.7V increases heat risk—especially at 5000 MHz or more—and could cause crashes. I’ve seen extreme DDR2 overclock examples where temperatures spiked and failures followed quickly. At higher voltages you’re pushing limits, so be cautious about stability and longevity.
maximizing a x3d sounds like a smart move, but avoid using a 5333 kit that's significantly cheaper than its current price. Instead, aim for a 14-14-14 setup and adjust the other sub timings. This should help you reach 3800 with extra power for better performance. Check out the link for more details before investing a lot of money. If it's not about cost, remember Zen4 will easily surpass expectations.
