If everyday things are stable on AVX 0. I would put that and test memory stability with anta777 - PCB Destroyer:

Well everything seemed stable. Was using anta777 Extreme profile. Anyhow after setting the tertiaries according to that really nice guide you linked prior I did another round of memory testing and didn't get an error except Firefox browser complained it crashed for some reason. So reset tertiaries all to auto and will have to retest.

Was just wondering though according to the guide it said to set ddr volts to 1.4 volts and I have samsung B die but my ram modules are profiled or binned to run at 1.35 volts at 3600mhz which is what I'm testing at so does that mean I need 1.4 volts for the recommended tertiaries as well?

Thanks

Tightening the timings (running the sticks faster) requires more voltage. The guide recommends 1.4 because it allows for headroom but not risking overheating.
I have a fan over mine so I run them with 1.5 (even if they are rated for 1.35)
