So i tried my hand at OCing my ram since i heard that Ryzen IGPUs benefit from it and here's what i got:
Default: 2400mhz at 17-17-17-17-39 at 1.2 volts
OC : 3000mhz at 16-17-17-17-45 at 1.34 volts
This is my ram:
https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-CB4GU2400-...dr18418-21
I tried reducing the rest of the timings to 16 and last one to 40 but it didn't work and had to reset the CMOS using jumper.
Is this OC enough to make a noticeable difference? Also should i try for 2800 something speed and lower timings or 3200mhz with higher timings?

I believe you're doing a solid job. Increasing the effort further might require a higher CL, which could cancel out any frequency improvements. Frequency and latency...

I believe you're doing a good job. Trying to push it even harder might reduce the CL and cancel out any frequency improvements. Frequency and latency behave differently across software, so having consistent RAM is more crucial.
Stability problems tend to appear as you increase the OC. If some RAM can maintain performance at specific speeds, they would have offered XMP support (and of course, it would cost).
