I’m saving up to get a 5700X3D around Christmas, upgrading from a 5600G, but I want to make sure I prepare properly before I do the swap.

The RAM I bought couldn’t match the C18 @ 4000 M/Ts advertised and still remain stable, but I managed to manually overclock to C16 @ 3666. Should I drop to JDEC specs before I upgrade, or is it a non-issue?

    You’re going from a monolithic die CPU to a standard chiplet config. Whilst your current profile doesn’t sound too demanding, I think the IMC behaviour here will be quite different.

    You may have to gear slightly or tweak your primary timings a little.
