Inquiries about Ryzen XT configurations and memory speed settings for the MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max board.
Hello everyone. It's been a while since I looked into AMD Ryzen products and their accessories, so I have some queries for my next setup. Question 1: Should XT models typically offer better single-threaded performance than the lower-end ones in the same category? I was comparing the 3600XT to the 3700X and 3600 models, checking Passmark results. It seemed Passmark indicated the 3600XT had higher single-threaded scores than its siblings. Is this accurate for all XT CPUs in the Ryzen 3000 lineup? Question 2: With two 3200MHz RAM sticks, will the base clock be reduced by default on the MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max? If yes, can it be adjusted via BIOS? I saw some reviews suggesting you might need to bump the speed to 3200MHz, possibly because older boards set lower clocks. Please share the relevant motherboard documentation. Thanks a lot!
3700x fits better. By default, all RAM operates at 2133MHz or 2400MHz. To reach 3200MHz, you need to implement ZMP at the beginning.
I am brand new to Ryzen. I was able to take my ram from 3200mhz to 4000 with absolute ease. Installing games and internetting a couple of core hit 4700, 4600 and 4500 and I have not done anything with the CPU yet as I have a stock cooler with about half the paste that it needs.. I wiped off the stock stuff and put my own on but didn’t have enough.. anyways.. this thing rips at stock so far. Waiting for mount parts and then I can mount my old cooler.. paste will be here Wednesday lol.
