Testing is quite challenging. Memtest86+ works well, yet the computer occasionally crashes—sometimes passing one day and failing the next.
CPU memory controller speed is fixed at 2666mhz on that chip. All other parameters are being fine-tuned to achieve higher frequencies. For stable performance at 3600mhz and 3200mhz on my R7 1700 builds, I manually adjust the clock speeds, letting the firmware choose timing based on the hardware (my testing shows timings don’t matter much compared to frequency). I use XMP profiles for voltage and then boost as needed.
