How to push frequency limits and maintain stability?

During high-frequency combos, the frequency bottleneck of the GreatWall GW3300 caused a tiny but noticeable input delay. I tried loosening the timings in the BIOS to chase higher clocks, but it crashed hard—frequencies were swinging by ±171MHz, leading straight to a BSOD. I switched to PBO auto-optimization and manually set the core voltage offset to -0.05V to smooth out the temp curve. Crucial tip: if you don't add an aftermarket heatsink, thermal throttling kicks in after 10 minutes and your clocks will tank. AIDA64 showed memory clocks locked around 2666MHz with a variance within 13% and latency between 13ns - 16ns. The combos feel much more responsive now, but because of the GW3300's silicon lottery luck, I can't push it further while keeping 60 FPS without the system randomly rebooting.
