Optimize your Ryzen 3800X with Vengeance Pro and DDR4-3200 RAM for maximum performance.
Optimize your Ryzen 3800X with Vengeance Pro and DDR4-3200 RAM for maximum performance.
Hi there I've built my rig in march and I'm tweaking ever since. Replaced the stock prism wraith cooler with the NH-D15, changed the GPU cause of fan noise and I'm back to tweaking. Here is my system: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (AM4, 3.90GHz, 8-Core) Noctua NH-D15 Chromax ASUS Rog Strix X570-E Gaming (AM4, AMD X570, ATX) MSI GeForce RTX 2070S GAMING X TRIO (8GB) Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (2x, 16GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288) Samsung 970 EVO Plus (1000GB, M.2 2280) Corsair Crystal 570X RGB 2x Corsair iCUE QL120 RGB (120mm, 3x) - 6 fans total Corsair Commander Pro (External, 6x) Corsair Lighting Node Pro (RGB, 10, 410mm) Corsair RM850 *2019* (850W) Last weekend, late night (or morning lol), I thought why not upgrading the bios to 1408, probably the PCH fan will be quiter than or adjustable... I was too stupid to save or screenshot the settings I had so I'm back to zero when it comes to ram tweaking. Back when I had Bios 1407 and still the stock cooler, I reached 4462 pts in Cinebench Release 20 with the ram settings I had there. I've been adjusting parameters the whole day yesterday and the best I've got is 4318, I had so many failed boots I cannot count it anymore . So I'm looking for advice to tweak my system a bit more to at least come back to the number I've had. Here's what I'm running (reaching 4318): 3266 frq, Soc 1.025, DRAM 1.4v, PBO Manual (PPT 300, TDC 230, EDC 230. Scalar Manual 2x. Max CPU boost AUTO, thermal throttle AUTO.) - Timings: 16-18-18-18-36 / PROC ODT 53.3 If I don't loosen the timings, I won't get higher with the frequency and I'm sure back when I reached 4462 I was only running 3200 but with tighter timings. I can imagine that performance wouldn't raise much, but it bothers me that I could get more out of the system haha. Regarding CPU OC'ing. I didn't cause a lot of forum threads say, PBO is superior than OC. Hoping for some advice on what I should try next.
Hey everyone, back after testing a bunch of DRAM profiles and tweaking settings. I hit 4318 points but can't get past 4200 on the latest 3200 test. The AIDA64 latency came up at 80.8ns, which is pretty poor. I’m not sure if it’s my skill, bad memory, or something else completely misunderstood.
Screen captures are really useful. Use cpuz and share your overclock details. Remember to include the speed table—feel free to open cpuz multiple times. Next, grab TyphoonBurner and take a screenshot so we can clearly see the IC options. List the adjustments you made to reach the overclock. Share your thoughts on where things stood before. What comes to mind?
Using the specified configurations and tRFC settings, I achieved around 4300 points in Cinebench 20. The tRFC value came up as 504 in the black box. After adjusting it to 307 for DRAM Calc 1.7 Safe preset, I got a score of 4073. It seems counterintuitive—higher timing shouldn't improve results, yet the numbers don’t align. The other settings I have are: PBO Manual (PPT 300, TDC 230, EDC 230), Scalar Manual 2x, Max CPU boost AUTO, thermal throttle AUTO, and PROC ODT 53.3. None of these changes seem to make a noticeable difference.
I overlooked some of the approaches I attempted: 1.) I followed the suggested primary timing adjustments (16-20-20-40), increased frequency to 3533 and still received a POST. No longer posting with a 3600 interval. 2.) At 3533 I gradually reduced timings one by one, but stopped after 16-19-19-40. 3.) Rechecked each frequency step down to 3200 repeatedly, consistently obtaining poor cinebench outcomes. 4.) Since I reset the CMOS on every fourth try, I returned to 3200 and experimented mainly with timing changes. The timings now appear stable but the performance remains subpar. 5.) As you noticed, I’m not experienced—I assemble a build every 4-5 years and now I’m finding it rewarding to adjust—though frustration seems more fitting than satisfaction. haha Corsair CMW32GX4M2C3200C16.html
Avoid increasing the BIOS unless necessary. Upgrading can cause issues if power drops during the process, making your motherboard ineffective. Only proceed if absolutely required—just ensure any changes could help you.
I understand your point if it doesn’t help you. Just update what’s needed, like the mobile or graphics drivers, whenever a new version is available. You’re welcome to make changes at your convenience.
