Type of RAM module
Type of RAM module
Identify E-Die by its timing patterns, typically 16-18-18 or more flexible at 3600mhz. Different ICs can share the same part number or be closely related. A kit may include various ICs such as F4-3600C16D-32GTZN (B-Die) and F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC.
I got my new PC with 16GB RAM, and I just spent a little money on Amazon. I’m ordering more RAM because most other items cost too much with shipping and taxes.
they perform flawlessly at 3600 18 with my 10600K at 4.8, aiming to adjust the RAM slightly next time. I’m considering switching to a 16GB 4000MHZ CL15 kit to test compatibility with the current speeds.
I hear you! I stick with two sticks at 16GB for frequencies above 4000MHz. Sounds like the right choice there. What board are you using? I’m running a Maximus X Hero with an 8700K, but it starts to lose stability after 4300MHz. It’s probably the IMC. It still reaches its limits even with XMP CL19 timings. I could use the Cas less strictly and get some performance, but it won’t be stable enough. The kit I’m working with is 4267MHz CL19-19-19 at 1.40v.
that's quite an interesting setup! I'm not someone who regularly replaces my entire machine every few years—my previous build was an i5 3550 pushed up to 4.1GHz. That's why I chose a solid platform and plan to upgrade my 10600K in about three to four years. I'm thinking of moving it to something like the 10900K or even the 11900K, since they should be quite affordable then. I might look for custom loop parts around Black Friday to get a better deal and push my current machine further. I currently have a Corsair H100X AIO, but I don't want to overclock it too much because it gets quite hot during rendering—around 70°C on all cores at 4.8V and mid-80s on 4.9V. It's pretty surprising how my old 3550, which wasn't meant for heavy overclocking, still performs better than my newer 10600K in some ways.
