RAM speed and timings influence performance in a positive way.
RAM speed and timings influence performance in a positive way.
I noticed someone suggesting ram speed isn't crucial on Ryzen. I thought it'd be helpful before pushing timings too hard. Over the next week or two, once secondary timings for 3733 are sorted, I might adjust other speeds, try a few games (only a handful), and gauge actual performance. Current setup: 3.7ghz @ 1.0125v. Geekbench multithreaded scores show single-thread gains, lowest at 1110, now 1125—no monitoring yet until timings are tight. Key ballistix 3000mhz cl15 specs: 1.38v, 2400, with timings around 3600, 3600, and a few others. Minimum possible times listed range from 3600 to 6803. I'll review these once the settings are locked in.
This appears to be the Crucial Ballistix, though it's unclear which specific model you're referring to. The timing seems a bit off for high-end RAM.
That's the Micron E-die. It's not particularly high quality, but it's not terrible either.
Checking if you're using 1:1 on Infinity Fabric or just RAM overclocking.
Which BIOS version are you using? You need to revert four versions to access the 1900 feature.
most recent updates show no previous version succeeded, but 1867 comes near. Tests weren't enough before; I switched to anta777's extreme1 testmem5 and used the large data set or memory test.
