Thoughts/help on my overclock?

[yield]

hey guys so i just wanted some opinions or maybe a bit of advice on what i could get a better overclock on because i am still a tiny bit new to overclocking but i think i did a decent job here.

my specs are 9700kf on an EVGA Z390 FTW mobo, evga 280mm aio, msi ventus OC 2080ti. 3200mhz 14cl rated ram

 

i have base clock set to 101 after testing it kept everything stable with better performance so i don’t see why not

(with 101 b. clk. the cpu keeps it’s clock at or above 5.0ghz better so it’s like 5.02ghz in cpu-z at all times and it clocks the memory at around 3434mhz)

 

my cpu is set at 5.0ghz

ram overclocked to 3400mhz 14-14-14-28, tRFC 320, Command Rate 2t

gpu settings in msi afterburner: 201 core clock and 815 memory clock. i obviously already have the power and temp limit maxed.

 

but yea like i said i’m just kinda looking for a few tips from someone who might be a little more experienced than myself but thanks guys!

forgot to post cinebench scores or fps for reference. max cinebench r15 score was 1,706 and i get an average of about 1,685.

 

cinebench r20 score averaged 4,160 

 

in cod modern warfare on pretty much all maxed settings except for 1x anti ailiasing and no motion blur i get at least 190fps at all times but depending on the map it can nearly hold 300fps.

 

fortnite if i go to the mountain southwest of lazy lake (good render test for the whole map) i get like 220 fps on all low settings high texture quality. in creative uncapped i get anywhere from 250-550

What is the memory you're using?

my memory is G-skill... the specs are listed above but the rated speed is 3200mhz 14-14-14-34

OK, I'll assume it's G.skill samsung b-die kit. (which is good)

 

Bump the voltage to 1.410v and set memory frequency to 3600mhz. See if it goes. Test it and if it passes to your liking of stressing, then increments up to 3800mhz. Test. 

Where'ever it fails, maybe we'll try CL 16 and see if we can squeeze 4000mhz from it.

oh set the bclk back to 100mhz too. just for stability measures. Bump that up after a stable ram clock at 100...

i’m definitely game to try it. but this is the main reason why i have come asking for help... i have already killed 1 kit of ram by overclocking. the rated speed was 3600 16-16-16-36 and i believe i was running it at 3800mhz 15-15-15-35 and i adjusted tRFC which i have very little knowledge about but i made it not be able to post anymore unless i took 1 stick out so. one of the sticks failed and i really wanna avoid doing that again @ShrimpBrime

Nope, leave Trfc on auto. Let it be loose. 

Also, you should actively cool your memory. 

Daily clocks and voltage should be no higher than 1.410v

Intel states max usage at 1.500v, This needs direct cooling.

yea i have no active cooling on my memory besides just the fans in my case and ambient fans in my room but i really don’t think my memory has been getting hot at the speeds it’s at right now it’s 3400mhz at 1.38v also 1.38v on cpu

You want to stay with even timings. 14-14-14 or 16-16-16. (best to change only these at first) the rest on auto.

Small increments is best. Must do good testing too. Set it up for daily. Squeeking out another 1/2% from additional tweaking is for competitive benchmarking.
