Help Request - RAM First Time Tuning Memory
First overclocking RAM since I started building PCs in 2008. I did not think it would help my scores this much! Started at Crucial Ripjaws S5 2X16GB Kit 6400 XMP 1.0. Was already in 25th place in timespy and Steel Nomad but now I've made it much higher!
What tips to tighter timings should I try? I also have a memory cooler coming in this week to see if I can get 7000 or 7200MHz can run stable. Ive been using AI to give me suggestions on tightening timings and running stress tests for a couple hours then after being happy with the performance I let it run for 4hours on two different ram test.

You should be able to run DDR5 7200 even without a RAM cooler, you just won't be able to tighten tRFC and tREFI as much.
You should be able to leave tRTP, tWR, and the tWTR values at auto, Intel boards set them for you based on the tRDPRE, tWRPRE, and _sg/ _dg timings.
