Comparing 3200Mhz and 3000Mhz on the 3700X model
Comparing 3200Mhz and 3000Mhz on the 3700X model
Hello! It seems you're experiencing stability issues with your Trident Z RGB at 3200Mhz. You're considering switching to 3000Mhz, which is a common adjustment. I'll check if the change might affect performance and whether it's worth giving it another shot after two days of troubleshooting. Your MAG B550 Tomahawk with R7 3700X is a solid setup—let’s see what happens!
Ryzen generally likes faster RAM, though it doesn't matter much. If you're okay with a slight slowdown, 3000mhz works. For precise needs, gamersnexus provides detailed analysis here: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3508-...ock-mclock
Haha, I can't provide a precise figure. If you're concerned about every frame, you might actually achieve a few frames per second. Spending time optimizing your CPU and GPU settings would likely yield better results.
You're asking about adjusting settings for Zen 2. The RAM should be placed in slots 2 and 4. The SOC should be set to 1.1 and DRAM to 1.35. Then test the overclock at 3200 with XMP enabled.
It seems the setup was unusual. I used XMP with DRAM 1.35 without any extra settings, which meant I had to reset CMOS. I didn’t test the SOC yet—might it affect things? I managed to post at 1.37V on DRAM, but Memtest still detected errors regularly. Versions 1.38 and 1.39 didn’t improve the situation either.
Yea. The soc voltage basically overclocks the io die. So the apu if there's one. The imc etc. Set it to 1.35 and mess around with the soc voltage. Don't go over 1.2 though. The topology on the Tomahawk is great so that's obviously not a problem. And the imc should handle 3200 easily.
Thank you! I'll attempt to configure SOC at 1.1V and RAM at 1.35V using XMP settings.
Zen 2's imc should manage it well. The variation isn't significant, and it won't be obvious in practice. You'll likely not notice it unless you're paying close attention. Just keep the speed under 1.2v if you want certainty.
