I do not even use them on my Windows box. Manual clocking of the memory advertised clock speed is always better. Using an XMP profile is for Jo bob never built a computer before. You only need to set the clock speed of the memory. The rest of the timings can be left to Auto and they should set the correct timings. The only time ever I have had an issue with my memory was with XMP enabled. It is one setting that I will leave disabled for the rest of my life!
Also thanks for your always nicely prepared EFI with updated clover. I had some issues with Catalina update. After install, I used your EFI, and my config file and USB.ssdt, and all was well.
To be fair, the RAM I'm using is not on the QVL for my Gigabyte Z390 motherboard. It's the same set of RAM that I've been using since my Z170 build. That being said, it's pretty cool to have my 3400MHz RAM running at 3600MHz.
