After configuring the UCLK, be cautious of crashes and blue screens. Perform the stability tests as well.
They might release RAM because it performs well with MB, and they set certain parameters like DOCP1/EXPO1. Changing the UCLK could be overlooked, even though the BIOS supports higher speeds. The stock bios claim up to 6400MHz, but updates may not always reflect this clearly.
They are meeting the advertised rates, but the performance is actually declining compared to a lower speed like 6000MT/s. A higher number doesn't always mean better speed with RAM, as many people think. For other aspects mentioned in that post, the RAM EXPO/XMP world is quite confusing with many unrelated factors (like kits rated for 8400MT/s rarely functioning). In short, yes—focus on stability tests if you aim to maintain 6400MT/s, and be ready to lower it to 6200 or below if instability appears.
