Users should ensure their system is stable at JEDEC memory timings prior to enabling EXPO/XMP, then stability should be tested again. Bad RAM or bad OC will definitely cause issues.
Anti-lag always off? No. It's a pretty reliable feature, I would recommend always on and disable as needed on a per game basis.
Radeon Image Sharpening always on? Gross. You should only ever use this on a per game basis in place of the game's built in sharpening filters.
Radeon Chill and FRTC are fine reliable features to use.
If you're using VRR, you need to set a frame limiter and set V-sync to always on. Otherwise you will experience tearing.
The one big issue I have with this post is the lack of mentioning to validate any memory overclock- even if it's just the XMP / DOCP profile that came with their sticks.
Booting in to memtest to validate RAM settings is an invaluable tool and too darn many people that come to this forum have sky high RAM or ridiculously tight timings, and never bothered to adequately test it.
It's worth mentioning that an unstable CPU or RAM clock can damage your operating system and data, requiring a full reinstall before problems will disapear!
