Will I need to overclock RAM again? (reddthat.com)

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?

Every motherboard I've used resets the ram speed, and everything else back to default when I've swapped the CPU (or even just removed it sometimes). But if your board supports saving "profiles" those may be saved, and if you can save them to a flash drive then even better.

But honestly just take a picture on your phone of the memory timings screen.
