You're wondering about the risks of adjusting RAM frequency settings. Changing the speed of DDR4 chips can affect stability, but overclocking at higher frequencies might lead to issues like system crashes or bricking. Based on your thought, boosting from 2400 to 3200 MHz could cause problems if the motherboard or firmware isn't designed for that speed. It's safer to stick to recommended speeds unless you're testing performance.

Brick isn't the right word. It suggests permanent failure, but even with RAM issues you can reset the CMOS and continue. You'll eventually reach a point where you can't boot, but simply clearing the CMOS restores the last working state.

Are you experiencing problems with your setup? The combination of 2x 1.35V RAM sticks and 2x 1.2V sticks might affect performance. Currently, the board operates at 1.2V across all components.
