Computer building, I am

Time to up you're cooling bro. Overclock and get wet.

I know, it's hard not run 3600 mhz on my memory when that's what I have. I'm noob city when it comes to PC's though, I don't want to fry anything.

Like to run my memory at that speed, I'm gonna have to overclock a ton of stuff I think. Like I'm gonna have to enable a bunch of other settings too.

@Coolhand20th My computer actually seems to like 2800-3000 mhz better than the 3200 mhz, what do you think about that?

Wouldn't be shocking. Some motherboards like memory at certain speeds regardless if they say they are built to handle it. I would run it at that 3000mhz and leave it if it is stable. Mine are rated for 3400mhz but the motherboard likes them at 3200mhz so that is where I leave them.

I went into code 22 and had to reset CMOS when I tried 3600 mhz with auto. The 3800xt should handle 3600mhz, but I think I'll have to change a bunch of CPU settings and maybe the DOCP setting, maybe change the timings on the memory. Idk if it's worth it or not, quite. I want to undervolt my CPU and memory some if I do overclock, to keep the heat down.

But idk, I'm already hitting 4.7 ghz with my CPU, hitting 4.5-4.6 and it HOLDS, like it'll stay there as long as it wants, no issue. My CAS latency on my memory is registering @ 22 inside of Ryzen Master, when my memory is rated for 16. I want to get that down to what it's supposed to be.

I'd love your opinions on this info.

Well my motherboard states it'll run a Zen 2 at 3600 mhz.

On the Zen 3's, it'll run almost 5000 mhz.

This info is in my motherboard book.

I got my PC to run on the 3600 mhz memory speed with 16 CAS latency

Asus actually made it really easy, if I new what I was doing. Corsair did a write up on how to do it, so I just followed that, and here I am.

I was reading that Ryzen's CPU's speed up a bit with memory speed, as in almost some sort of dependency on fast memory in order to get full usage out of the CPU, so I guess we'll see.

It seems faster after doing this for sure.

Yep that memory speed helps. I had to redo my old computer at my parental units house today as it was messing up. Found a few settings wrong and redid some stuff. Even my mom noticed right away everything was running smoother and faster on it.

Yeah it seems like my computer is significantly faster now, just from opening stuff up.

 

[LsGuy]

Something to do with the infinity fabric on ryzen, 3600 is the sweep spot for ram speed.

 

[Buck 5,000+ posts]

It's definitely faster. I had no idea what was or wasn't important. I wonder how fast a 5800x with like 4800 mhz would be lol

Can you guys recommend bench testing programs or software? I'm curious to see how my equipment performs on that type of scale.

32 gb of ram installed @ 3600 mhz, 16 CAS latency

3DMark is a free program on Steam to a certain extent but the free stuff with stress test the system. You can buy the whole version but it is expensive. Memtest86+ is a memory testing program that you run as a boot program that will really stress test the memory.
