There are just too many choices here. It's hard to tell which one is right because every RAM has different brands, models, and even the BIOS settings can change things. Plus, software like games matter too. This comparison feels good if you want a quick look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IY_KlkQK1Q
So, how did it work back when you had to turn it on yourself? You mean the automatic mode? Let's take a look at your UMC speed too.
I have an ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero board and my RAM runs at 3733 MHz. Manually set the CPU clock is 1866 MHz. I tried to boost it higher, but nothing worked, so I'm stuck with a memory clock of 3800 MHz. Most CPUs can handle a base frequency of 3733 MHz if the timings are perfect, which they are here. I also adjusted the subtimings for everything to work smoothly. My voltage is -0.075V and PBO is off. I wanted to share my settings screenshot on this forum, but that's not possible right now. I tried emailing with two messages asking about it, but nobody replied from the "ContactUS" address at
