Start with about 200mhz and don't expect excessive voltage requirements. You'll need to adjust your memory timings for a stable overclock. Be sure to verify everything with memtest.

For the voltage, 1.350 is quite high. The maximum for DDR4 seems to be around 1.4v for continuous operation. Consider beginning at 1.35v.

You're absolutely right—why sacrifice free performance? And I wouldn't exceed 1,45V continuously; aim for 1,4V to leave some breathing room.

Consider yourself. I'd do it just for the fun of it.

There won't be much benefit, though. Most setups use 1.35v, but you're capable up to 1.4v. Boost System agent/VCCSA a bit more. It assists when working with RAM.
If something goes wrong, raise the voltage or revert to 3000. You might experiment with timing adjustments, but it's not worth altering them for a low boost.
