Log of the Memory Override Quest A record of events and discoveries during the journey.
Before diving in, just know it's not about Ryzen, you get the joke. But honestly, I ended up purchasing a 16GB kit with 4000 16-16-16-36 RAM on Amazon for $100. It was a tough decision, but necessary. After installing it, I enabled XMP and... well, the default profile turned out to be shaky. Not unexpected for a budget build. So here we are, tackling another memory overclocking project. I attempted a cl16profile I saved after fine-tuning my earlier 4000 cl19 kit, and it seems to be holding up. I had to adjust the TRFC and TREFI settings because the system wouldn’t pass memory testing otherwise. Now it’s running fairly stably at 16-16-16-34 with decent secondary performance, except for TRFC and TREFI. I’m wondering what others managed with TRFC and TREFI on a B-die setup. It’s puzzling why my configuration isn’t reaching those low timings. 374 TRFC and 30,000 TREFI are almost stable, and even pushing over 1.5V doesn’t help much. 15,600 TREFI is solid, but 19,667 TREFI isn’t. Makes sense... Shouldn’t RAM overclocking be possible? Here are the specs below.
Are you certain it's the hardware that's the issue, or could the processor benefit from an upgrade? It might be worth checking if a faster CPU would help.
Not sure, CPU is already at its maximum capacity with 5.1 allcore, 1.32v core, and 1.25VccSA & VCCIO. That was the first setup I tried and it worked fine. The secondaries are running loose on auto; I can adjust them except for TRFC and TREFI.
