RAM Overclock help

Just overclocked a kit of G.Skill Value F4-2400C17S-8GNT by just getting voltage up to 1,35V and frequency from 2400Mhz to 3200Mhz. I stress tested them for about 6 hours with no errors. I haven't changed any values on the timings. Should this overclock be considered as a successful one?

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition GPU: Sapphire RX480 8GB Nitro+ OC  RAM: G.Skill Value - 2*8GB DDR4 3200MHz (OC) PSU: SEASONIC M12II-520 EVO EDITION  Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A  Case: Corsair SPEC-01  Storage: INTEL 760p 256GB SSD + 1TB Seagate Skyhawk + 500GB WD Blue Monitor: AOC C24G1  Keyboard: Motospeed CK61   Mouse: Alienware AW958

Well, if you'regetting no wierd artifacts orany glitches, it should be good to go!

The proper way to test stability for RAM is to use tools tht are made for it,a popular example is Memtest86.

I've used Memtest64 for about 6 hours straight. Should I try Memtest86 too?

You make a bootable USB drive from the file you download,then boot from the USB drive in the BIOS.

Is it like a loop that I'll have to leave it in or is it just a one take test?
