Should I lower Gloway Dragon Warrior DDR5 6000 frequency for Dota 2?

It's honestly a joke that I'm getting frame drops in a top-down game. The Gloway Dragon Warrior DDR5 6000 was technically running, but during heavy spell effects, my 0.1% lows would tank to 20 FPS. I tried forcing it with 1.38V, but that was a disaster—the system just blue-screened after 10 minutes. The frustration of fighting the hardware was real. I finally gave up on the 6000MHz dream and dropped the frequency to 5600MHz in the BIOS, tightening the timings to 36-36-36-76. Using a frame time analyzer, I saw my minimums jump from 20 FPS to 55 FPS, and the game finally felt fluid. I actually thought it didn't work at first, but after three restarts and a half-hour session, the stability was obvious. Memory temps settled at 46-52℃ with voltage at 1.35V. I ran four passes of MemTest86 to ensure there were no bit-flips, and the fans stayed steady at 1400-1600RPM. It's a slight downgrade in specs, but a huge upgrade in sanity.
