The clock speeds on the Samsung A-die are significantly slower compared to the B-die. However, you can still increase the A-die frequency for DDR43600-3800, while the B-die offers superior timing at those same frequencies. The A-die is more affordable, offering higher density but poorer timing performance. If your priority is a large amount of RAM at a lower cost, then it's not an error. If you're reconsidering and seeking faster RAM with better timing, that's also fine—hopefully you can exchange the RAM for a refund.
When someone recommends the G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB, they are suggesting the Samsung B-die.
On the B-Die Finder, you can locate G.Skill Trident Z Neo (rgb) with specifications like F4-3600C16D-32GTZN and timing details such as 3600C16 / 8.9ns. You can also find DDR4 kits for Samsung B-Die on platforms like Amazon and Newegg.
Zx! I was hoping to see you here. 😎🤙
Some folks keep advising me to stick at 3200mhz or lower due to a 1:1 ratio with the 3900x. Plus, I struggle to maintain certain temperatures during stress tests—my CPU hits 85° and I’d prefer it around 75-77°.
This RAM setup is really puzzling me, lol. 😅
Essentially, most Ryzen CPUs feature an interconnect design known as Infinity Fabric, which supports efficient data and control flow between connected parts. When this fabric doesn’t match the memory clock speed exactly, it creates delays that can hurt overall performance. Usually, you can adjust the fabric to 1800 without much hassle. However, aligning the RAM to 1800MHz DDR4 3600 is more complex. You might need to purchase DDR4 3600 RAM or even overclock it.
The G.Skill Trident Z Neo (rgb) F4-3600C16D-32GTZN offers a 3600C16/8.9ns speed and supports 2x16GB DRAM. It can help you reach an IF of 1800 and set XMP to DDR4 3600 with minimal effort. Set the IF manually in BIOS, and use the DDR4 3600 XMP for your RAM. Achieving an IF of 1900 is challenging; stress tests pass, but stability remains uncertain.
For your setup, consider setting the IF to 1800 and using DDR4 3600 RAM. Leave the RAM timings at auto and test booting at 3600MHz. If successful, fine-tune the timings. A better die will provide superior timings than a standard one, though even then, hitting 3600MHz may require compromise.
Thanks a lot for your time, buddy! 🙏
It's awesome when I finish my OC work and share the cinebench and afterburner data—what do you think about it? 😄
Take your time to thoroughly investigate what you're doing. Avoid relying solely on advice from random individuals on forums.
