Observation of significant variation in execution speed after timing adjustments.
Observation of significant variation in execution speed after timing adjustments.
Right now you're using 16 Gigs (two 8 Gigs) at 3600 speed with specific timings. I tried setting up a 32 Gigs kit (two 16 Gigs) at the same speeds and was surprised by the price drop—exactly what I expected. I'm running an R7 3700X on a Gigabyte Aorus Master motherboard. Will adding more RAM make a clear boost? With heavy music production and upcoming video editing, extra RAM seems beneficial. I already have 64 Gigs in my studio PC and plan to increase it further. I haven't overclocked beyond XMP settings, but the timing calculator helped improve speeds slightly. My current sticks are Hynix dye, while the kit I'm considering is Samsung B Dye—does that mean it's better? Thanks for your help.

It varies based on your needs. For heavy tasks needing much memory and lots of writing and reading, yes—it can be demanding (though not overwhelming). In everyday gaming, loads are lighter, so performance should be more stable. Expect around 1% and 0.1% improvements overall, with the 3700x offering extra gains thanks to its multiple CPU configurations. The actual benefit depends on how much you're working.
Some music projects demand a lot from your RAM. On my studio PC, 64 gigabytes can reach nearly 60% usage at times. Sure, that's slow by modern standards with an i7 7700k, but I don't do video editing—just music. I’d love to locate a system with solid audio software benchmarks, though most of the pros use Apple hardware, making those comparisons feel a bit pointless.
You'll gain a lot from the 3600 RAM, just ensure you enable xmp/dcop and verify 3700x performs well. The memory controller should easily reach the advertised speeds.
