Prime95=how to make a CPU a space heater. It does nothing real world. If you want to run it for a cooling solution test that's about the extent of its usefulness.
When checking OC I just run real bench (not called real because it sounds cool) in a loop for 15 mins or AIDA 64 and call it a day and enjoy the OC.
If you get stability issues later then address it. Thing with over clocking you can beat the crap out of it for a week with P95 and have no issues, then launch one app that twists it a different direction and it locks up. The highest clock is not always the best either. Yes I like running it up just to see how high it will go but then I always dial it back so I'm not listening to fans screaming. Ive had my 7900X to 5.1 made it though several benches, got hot as hell. 5.0, still hot. 4.9 a bit better. 4.8GHz is where Im sitting and its much cooler with less Vcore and I can jack my cache to 3.2 from 2.4 and this actually beats the 5.1 real bench score. Keep that in mind as you tweak that the highest clock may be < best clock for performance.

If only adjusting the memory timings and no other settings then you can use google stress app test for 1 to 2 hours.
I'm assuming the timings written are a typo, however, as the above post suggests you want to relax timings. This increases latency and reduces performance. As you are stable there is no need to do this.
