Ryzen 3600 paired with DDR4 2400 RAM
Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick update. I’m planning to upgrade my system to a Ryzen 3600 and an ASRock B450 M Stealth Legend. I also have an RX 570 and a Team Delta RGB DDDDR4 2400. I’m curious—should I focus on boosting the RAM speed? Right now, I’m on a tighter budget, so I’m wondering if adding more RAM will really hurt performance compared to high-end options like the 2070 or 5700X. I’ll switch things up soon after two months, but I’m still interested in how well these components handle temperatures during gaming sessions.
Stock cooler works well without overclocking. A 2400mhz RAM speed won’t harm your system, and with a bit of effort you can usually reach around 2933 with most recent DDR4 chips. The clock speeds won’t be perfect, but for Ryzen processors the main factor is getting the fabric clock fast.
Yes, your performance will drop. Ryzen's speed depends heavily on RAM rate. Upgrading to faster RAM usually costs only a bit more, and you'll save time and get a better build. After all, it's better to wait another couple of weeks for a proper upgrade instead of replacing it soon.
Not surprising with just an RX 570, yet as frame rates rise the lower memory performance and poor latency become more noticeable; using faster cards and games that don’t stress the GPU heavily—like CSGO—will have a greater effect than general GPU scores such as Witcher 3.
I own the 2600 and 5700XT models. RDR2 operates CPU at 45% and GPU at 100% with medium/low settings, using 3000MB RAM. When I increased RAM to 2400, the CPU cooled better. The stock cooler works adequately for normal use; I don’t believe PBO is necessary on the stock unit.
Additionally, it relies on the game's need for memory efficiency. For instance, PUBG is well-known for its demanding memory usage even on standard Intel hardware.
I’ll stick to the RX 570 only to confirm I’ll get performance close to my old i5 8400. I’m planning to use the Ryzen 3600 for multitasking instead of the full i5 8400, so it won’t hit maximum usage like with the previous models.
Great ideas though, I've got the rams ready for my last attempt.
These components are quite demanding, yet they shouldn't act as a performance bottleneck initially.
