Issue with R5 3600 compatibility
Looking for feedback on r5 3600 performance with a g-skill sniper and 16GB memory. Have you encountered any difficulties?
It’s unlikely DDR4-3600 will work with the board. The manufacturer only officially backs DDR4-3466 using XMP support.
I initially had a 3400g unit that worked fine at 3600 with the XMP profile, but after upgrading to the 3600 model, I’m experiencing problems now.
The performance of the Integrated Memory Controller within the CPU also matters, and this can differ between different processors. Exceeding the JEDEC standard for DDR4-2666 on Ryzen requires adjusting the IMC settings.
What kind of CPU cooler are you employing? Is it possibly too snug? If you compress the cooler EXCESSIVELY, pressing down on the CPU with too much force, you might harm the IMC—the most delicate component in the chip that restricts its performance. This can restrict you to a single-channel setup.
