I own a 16GB dual channel 3200MHz setup with a base speed of 2666MHz. I stopped using XMP due to stability problems after switching to Zen+. I manually adjusted the DRAM frequency to 2933, which is the maximum supported for my CPU. However, I kept the default voltage at 1.2, which seems fine. Recently, it boots and restarts without issues, and I haven’t experienced any crashes during games.

Only you can be sure. If there are no stability problems, it should work. You might want to run a few RAM tests. Stability with certain tasks doesn't always mean it's stable for all tasks.

I'll start running memtest86 eventually, time's running short. If it doesn't boot or I get weird results, I'll try boosting the voltage to 1.25. It worked well at 1.35 with 3200MHz and XMP settings, so I expect better stability then. (My CPU is a 2700X)

RAM stability checks are the longest and trickiest part of testing. Just because your memtest doesn’t crash immediately doesn’t guarantee reliability. Issues like GPU driver problems, overclocking problems, CPU hiccups, or disk errors can still occur.
