Your thoughts are important—should I consider adding more RAM?
Hello, Your current setup includes 4x8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance pro RGB RAM at 3200MHz. After extensive overclocking and stress testing, you achieved speeds up to 3466MHz. This performance should be sufficient for your Ryzen 5600X, but consider the higher frequency option of 3600MHz if budget allows. For suitable RAM options, look into compatible kits with stable timings and good stability at those speeds.
Getting quicker RAM won't provide significant enough improvement for noticeable gains. Avoid spending your money on it.
It works well with a 5600X. Since it's just one CCD, it doesn't rely heavily on RAM speed like a 5900X would. Increasing the speed would only offer a small gain at most.
The variation in clock speed between 3600 and 3466 is under 4%, and the performance gap would be even smaller. Unless you frequently use your computer for benchmarking, it's not worthwhile. You're unlikely to detect the difference during a simple test.
It’s more responsive than a 5900X. 5900X can’t match the low latency of a 5600X. Perhaps turning off a CCD could help, but that would undermine the benefits of having a 59. Op. Your current latency is comparable to my 3600XT with c14 and offers faster performance. The fastest I’ve achieved in Windows is 49ns. 51-52ns is typical for me on a 5600X. Around 54ns is standard for me with a 5900. This feels a bit unfair since the 5900 runs at higher core clocks.
Are you sure you require the latest RAM just for a slight boost in frames per second? My take. Did you see any real improvements in performance, and was it worth the investment compared to a 3200 MHz option?
You should check your RAM specifications for a 5600X. If it supports DDR4-3200 or faster, ensure your CPU and motherboard are compatible. Consider upgrading if your current RAM doesn't meet the required speed or capacity.
