Hello everyone
Configuration: Ryzen 5 3600 Stock / Tomahawk B450 max Agesa 1.0.0.4 / Cruxial Ballistic sport LT 3200CL16 / Latest windows update 2004.
Six months ago I performed an overclock of my RAM that didn’t meet expectations, but this week I took the time to fine-tune it properly. After several CMOS resets, I reached a setting I’m happy with.
However, I have two different results:

(65.9 ns)

(67.2 ns). I observed that after turning off my computer, the next day I experienced a latency of 67.2 and lost nearly 1000 readings.
To restore my 65.9 latency:
I need to access the BIOS and perform some actions—perhaps backing up data, restarting Windows, or rebooting. Even just shutting down and restarting can help maintain consistent latency without loss.
This issue tends to appear after date changes. For instance, when I tried to recover my 65.9 latency using the BIOS, I was able to shut down my PC for 3–4 hours, but then rebooted within 13–17 hours and still faced the same 67.2 latency.
Another time I went to sleep at 22:00 and woke up at 07:00 the next day; changing the date caused my latency to jump back to 67.2.
I attempted to manually adjust the date, but it only reset the latency to 67.2.
Exiting sleep mode or rebooting brings me back to 65.9 ns, which is useless if I keep doing it.
I’m unsure what’s happening—I don’t recall the first time I overclocked my RAM, and I worry I may have damaged something.
The only difference I’m making is updating my BIOS to version 1.0.0.5 and reverting to 1.0.0.4, or updating Windows to version 2004, though I recently updated Windows and used AMD chipset drivers instead of MSI drivers.

What kind of voltage are you dealing with now that the RAM has been overclocked? It's best to use the newest BIOS (AGESA code) and attempt the same overclock, increasing the voltage slightly if needed—starting at 1.35V and adjusting up if necessary.

Hello Lutfij
Dram Voltage: 1.39v (stable in T1 and T2 after 5h of testing)
Soc Voltage: 1.1v
I was using Agesa 1.0.0.5 but performance dropped in every game, so I went back to 1.0.0.4

It seems there might be an inconsistency in the results you're seeing. You're consistently reporting stable 47.0ns memory latency across different frequencies, which doesn't align with typical DDR3 behavior at those speeds. It could indicate an issue with the testing environment or hardware configuration. The comparison to DDR4 and the varying system tests also suggest further investigation is needed.
