Overclocking Ryzen 3000 RAM on two different chipsets
Hey there, I'm reviewing your setup: Asus Prime X-470 Pro with Ryzen 7 3800X and a 32GB G.SKILL Trident Z CL16. You're aiming to push RAM speeds up to around 3600MHz or 3800MHz. Based on what Thaiphoon shared, you have a mix of Samsung B-dies and Hynix C-dies—Samsung is generally more stable for overclocking. Using the C-dies as your base timings makes sense since they’re likely the limiting factor. Proceed carefully, test incrementally, and monitor temperatures closely. Let me know how it goes!
We focus on optimal performance without needing extra memory. Current specs should handle gaming well, and we’re unlikely to hit that limit soon. If you skip the Hynix setting, you might try using the best timing and speed it offers, but it probably won’t be worth the effort. Most games don’t require such high RAM, often 8GB suffices even with background tasks running. When using Ryzen tools, double-check the timing settings and export properly to ensure compatibility.
I'm looking for enough RAM because some games I play are very modded and need a lot of memory to run smoothly (like cities skyline with mods needing over 20 GB). Appreciate the tips!
