The memory is the final adjustment you make. It's tough to notice any improvement from higher clock speeds in RAM.
It's generally safe to take advantage of most overclocking options for a K CPU. It seems to be outperforming the non-K version in your tests—though these turbo boosts usually last only a few seconds.
You can adjust this by aligning p1 with the power limit of p2, or tweak the multiplier values on the cores. For single-core testing, you might see some cores reach higher clock speeds.
Detecting this difference is difficult with regular tasks. Perhaps running a very long program could speed up by a minute or two. You'd need a monitor display showing the numbers to spot even a couple of extra frames per second.
Thanks all. The system is stable, and I've tested it at its absolute limit with maximum settings. Everyone's performance looks good, especially on my 65" display at 144Hz and 4K resolution. No numbers to worry about—I'm just happy everything works smoothly. Thanks for the feedback!
I prefer using fancy LED lights above 7200 MT/s RAM whenever possible. At least these lights produce visible photons that my eyes can actually see and appreciate. The 7200 MT/s is essentially a waste of money, offering only about 6200 MT/s with a good timing setup.
