Question regarding RAM, system upgrades and similar topics
This is my present configuration
I am presently operating at 3600Mhz instead of the recommended 4000 Mhz, which causes crashes when I switch it down from the XMP BIOS to 4000. It appears to be running CL18. I previously used Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM at 3200 Mhz, at CL16.
Is there any method to adjust the RAM to reach its intended 4000 Mhz?
I also have a new motherboard ready for installation: GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI Motherboard.
My current PC setup looks like this:

There are two fans in front and the radiator on top.
(I feel the need for improved cooling since my room gets very hot during gaming sessions)
TL;DR
1. Should I overclock my RAM to 4000 Mhz? (I’ve heard that CPUs from the Ryzen 5000 series prefer higher clocked RAM.)
How would I do that?
Should I consider upgrading to a 5800X3D for better performance in PubG, which is my main game?)
My Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting or suffers from packet loss occasionally (I suspect it happens at boot).
Will replacing the motherboard resolve this issue?
Rebooting the PC or disconnecting the USB adapter for Wi-Fi and reconnecting seems to sometimes reduce or fix the packet loss.
5800X3D could provide improved frames, yet the Ryzen 5000 series doesn’t necessarily require high-speed RAM because core-to-core latency has been significantly lowered compared to the 3000 series. The unified cache now replaces the split cache design found in the 2 ccx per 1 ccd architecture. However, maintain the 3600MHz RAM speed as it’s preferable over skipping it.
Also, achieving 4000MHz RAM at a 1:1:1 ratio is quite challenging due to architectural constraints (the I/O die matches that of the 3000 series). If you aim for fast RAM optimization, the 5700G is your best option, as the Ryzen 5000G Series can easily support 4000MHz++ in a 1:1:1 configuration. I’ve successfully implemented this with a 4133 C18 chip at 5600g + b550m pro4.
For RAM, could you share the last five digits of the part number, such as 04266X? This indicates a Samsung C die. I’d be happy to assist further and handle any tuning.
It varies depending on the CPU. The 5600X usually reaches around 3866 MHz, sometimes hitting 3900 to 3933 MHz, while a golden chip could go up to 4000 MHz. That’s great, you might try lowering the clock to 3600–3866 and test with TM5 using an Absolut configuration. I can assist further optimization if you provide the last five to six digits of your Part Number (like 8810C) to identify the IC, plus use the thaiphoon burner for more accuracy, along with checking the timing readings.
But you're mostly right, some very dense kits over 2x8, like 2x16 or 4x8, if they aren't AMD Ryzen optimized, can lead to significant latency issues too. There might also be some problems with certain components, especially because stability relies on important timing details such as RTT and ProcODT. That's why high-speed kits above single-rank 8GB per die sometimes need to be AMD Ryzen optimized XD.
