RAM overclocking

So recently I built my first pc and started to tweak things like overclock cpu and gpu. Then I thought that I should also overclock my ram. I did it and ran R15, and got 943 for cpu score and 140.36 fps for gpu score (these were without ram overclocking and ran the tests 3 times and got the avarage number). But recently I noticed that my performance in games isn't what it should be, so I fiddled with settings and eventually found out that when I overclocked my ram with xmp or manually the score for  fps droppes about 5 fps (the avarage fps was 135.18) altough I did get 944 points for cpu but that doesn't really change anything.

 

So I would like to know why is it so, I searched for it but didn't really find anything what could it be.

Would like to know anything about this or remotely close to this problem (if you can really call this a problem).

did you mess with timings? the latency might be affecting performance.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Are you manually inputting these settings for the ram overclock or is it going from say 1600 to 2133mhz? Example..
