It seems you're checking if your current configuration can support higher speeds with newer processors like the 3600 or 5600. Your setup uses an R5 2600 with 4x8GB DDR4 memory at 2400MT/s, and you're wondering if upgrading to faster RAM would work better.

5000 series is the best, 3000 series is decent but not quite as strong based on what I've seen. It still falls short compared to Intel, where you can use whatever you have and it usually works fine.

They perform significantly better now. Earlier resolutions capped around 2666-3000, but higher ones like 3600 reached close to that. Most stayed near 3200. I'm using a 5800x3D at 3600MHz and my 3800x was stuck at 3200MHz.

Move smoothly from your current 2400 up to the rated 3000 using a 5600 CPU.

It could matter, though if gaming is a factor I’d aim for an X3D chip.

Absolutely, particularly for the 5000 lineup. Still, four dimmers can be inconsistent with Ryzen, so it's not a sure thing—but it definitely represents a significant improvement overall.

I've found the most stable performance with my Zen+ 2700X at around 3400 C18-18-18 on a 16GBx2 3600 C18 board running at 1.4 volts. A slight increase in SOC voltage lets Zen and Zen+ operate smoothly at 3200, while keeping it below 1.15 is ideal. I usually stay near 1.05, but 1.2 volts can be harmful over time. Not every board tracks SOC perfectly, so staying safe is wise. My experience with Zen2 or Zen3 is limited now, but things are about to change, so I'll share more from a casual perspective soon.

I didn’t get exactly what you needed, but I’m trying to find a solid CPU for you. You want something good for handling heavy traffic in BeamNG.Drive, especially with dense usage. I’m not very familiar with the memory controller issues on Ryzen chips.

Intel developed their memory controllers from foundational technologies, building on established semiconductor principles rather than inventing them from scratch.

I’m confident it works for AM4, my 5600-based systems function without issues.
