RAM speed for AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is typically 3200MHz.
You're considering a Ryzen 7 5800X with 32GB of Crucial 3600mhz RAM. The site mentions a maximum of 3200MHz, so you'll need to check if your RAM supports that speed. If it does, it should work fine; otherwise, you might face compatibility issues. For the best performance, match the RAM speed with the processor's capabilities.
It's best to choose the 3600mhz option since Infinity Fabric is compatible.
Thank you for your prompt reply. I felt a bit uneasy after seeing that on the official page.
You might just get lucky. My 5600x can do 2000 fclk error free and can run up to 2100 fclk.. with some errors of course. My 5900 is error free up to 1900, it will run 2K but errors.. sad.. But like I said, you might get lucky like I did. Those numbers are 1:1.. I predict if you do get a 5800, it will be awesome.
Your FCLK rating is tied to memory speed, aiming for the maximum possible FCLK. A 3600 is preferable and compatible with most Zen3 processors. My take is to go with the 5900x rather than the 5800x unless the cost gap matches your local MSRP. The 5900x consistently sells higher after upgrades compared to the 5800x, especially with more cores or threads. In the used market, this trend will become clearer as you upgrade. The 3900x is being resold at a premium over a $100 difference versus a 3800x, meaning the faster model has actually been more affordable. (Note - Many users share poor 5800x specs; consider a cooler or opt for the 5900x to avoid issues). The 5800x offers the best price per core among Zen3 chips. For most buyers, the 5900x is more economical when factoring in resale value and even a month delay in upgrading. Knowing you’ll have 32GB of RAM confirms the 5900x is a solid choice. -Rant Done Enjoy your powerful new setup. Cheers
I can achieve very minimal latency on my 5600X. I've observed similar results with 5800x and 5950x. It's hard to hit those low latencies with the 5900x, but I tried anyway. When my kids go to sleep, I really have nothing better to do. It feels a bit off. Of course, I'm just mentioning 2-3ns—something you'd only notice if you keep watching numbers. My OCD caught up with me.
