DDR4 3600/4000MHz memory setup
DDR4 3600/4000MHz memory setup
Hey, I saw you got some RAM recently. It looks like you have a Kingbank DDR4 3600/xMP 4000MHz chip. When you check your BIOS, it shows 2666MHz, but when you enable XMP, it jumps to 4000MHz. You also found a memory that claims it supports up to CL19 4400MHz. Just make sure the RAM matches your system specs and the speed is stable—better safe than sorry! Let me know if you need more details.
The system seems to be operating smoothly, so I don’t think there’s a problem. Just make sure to check performance by running some games and observe the results.
Are you sure this is AFR? That memory chip AFAIK doesn't go above 3600MT/s pretty much ever, while they're almost never found in XMPs of over 3200MT/s. It sounds more like 8Gb DJR or 16Gb CJR if it's able to boot 4400 CL19. If it's stable and the memory voltage isn't too high (exact values will depend on the exact IC, though the two I listed are both safe to 1.6V), I wouldn't worry about it.
I receive a 4400mhz timing with two choices in memory—specifically 2 options: 19 28 28 48 and 19 26 26 48. The voltage is fixed at 1.5v, and I’m unable to change it, so it defaults to auto.
The kit doesn't specify the memory chip inside the SPD. If the IC is listed, it should appear in the "Die Density / Count" area. Based on the 16Gb die and 4400MT/s speed, it's likely a 16Gb CJR chip at 1.5V. Most devices using this IC are rated for 1.5V with a lifetime warranty, though some may support 1.6V as well. You'll need to test to confirm the exact voltage. On Intel CPUs, settings can become unstable, especially on newer generations, so stress tests might be necessary to ensure stability.
You're welcome! Just a quick note—go ahead and message me anytime. For testing, you can use your Ryzen Drm calculator with AIDA64 Extreme or the free version; just make sure to interpret the results carefully. Regarding timing on the CPU, yes, it’s worth checking stability—run tests for several minutes or even hours to see how consistent performance is.
For the performance evaluation, the models I favor include Y-Cruncher 1B, PYPrime, and Intel MLC. The first two models pair well with a tool named "Benchmate" and tend to show strong results depending on memory bandwidth and latency. Intel MLC matches the bandwidth and latency metrics of Aida but is free and more stable in practice. For stress scenarios, there are several reliable tests available. I would run Y-Cruncher VT3 under stress, TestMem5 using the Anta777 Extreme1 configuration, and HCI Memtest (integrated into the Ryzen DRAM Calculator) if testing a 10th gen memory overclock. Some enthusiasts recommend Karhu as well. It’s worth experimenting with clock speeds. Most memory speed improvements stem from timing settings, particularly sub-timings. I can outline general timing roles and guidance if you wish, though I have no prior experience with 16Gb CJR. The ideal test duration varies based on your comfort with instability. For a typical gaming setup, I’d suggest about an hour of VT3 and four hours each for TM5 and HCI Memtest, though some prefer shorter or longer sessions.
I’m checking how these tools work. Should I run them together or one after another? I’m not sure if the presets in my BIOS will stay consistent, so testing would be best. This would really help me understand what they can do. I’ll try some tests and share the results here—maybe we can review the timing together.
