I have finally started on this, had to deal with bios quirks like weird vcore issues, and dram voltage droop. but currently testing 3600 on this B die, and will see whats possible on my raptor lake setup, this is probably mostly for science as I probably wont run an extreme memory profile daily. Will up the clocks after every successful ram test, and then see where I can get latency, afterwards will save profile on bios so can go back to it if people want specific benches doing.
Just remember that automatic timings change as you raise frequency, make sure to get a screenshot of each step along the way to see what changes

on ryzen Zentimings does that easily for us, unsure what the intel equivelent would be

AsRock Timing Configurator seems a close equivalent

Doesnt matter now, hit a fairly low wall, I think due to the IMC on the chip so abandoned it, but yeah was screenshotting asrock timing configurator, which shows live timings after booting into the OS.
