Hello all. I'm currently with 16GB (2x8) of DDR4 3000mhz CL15 and I'm gonna upgrade it to 32GB. My CPU is a ryzen R5 3600. My current options on my budget are 2x16 3200mhz CL16 and 2x16 3600mhz CL16, both by corsair. My MOBO is the MSI B450 Gaming Plus (not the MAX version), and in their...

Hello folks. I was using my external HD on my PC today, backing up some files, and something went wrong (I believe it was because I was also using another USB port transfering files from my phone and maybe the expansion harddrive just couldn't handle all the activity going on... I don't know)...

Do I lose the benefit of "dual channel" if I'm using all 4 RAM slots? And also being that the 4 sticks would not be of the same capacity and timings.

Yes it supports up to 32gb at 1600hmz max speed

Hello all. I got an old PC in my office, running windows 10, that currently has 8 GB (2x4) dual channel of DDR3 at 1600mhz and CL 9 latency. I use this PC mainly for work but occasionally I run some light games on it on some free time (it has an old GTX 970). Would I benefit on replacing...

Thank you for the quick reply mate

Good afternoon. I got a monitor today, LG 32GN600-B, and it comes with Freesync ON by default. I use an Nvidia gpu, and so I also have the Gsync option enabled in the Nvidia control panel, cause the monitor also supports Gsync when using a display port cable, which I am. My question is, do I...

Thank you for your reply. Great information there. I got another quick question for you guys, about BIOS - AGESA(?) I'm currently using on my mobo a BIOS version from late 2019, it says AGESA 1.0.0.4 Patch B. In my current system (MSI B450 Gaming Plus + R5 3600), do I get any benefit...

I have a MSI B450 Gaming Plus motherboard, and I read it can take the 5000 ryzen CPUs with latest BIOS update. So since I plan to stick with this system for some time still, I'll probably replace my 3600 with a 5000 series. Here where I live is not easy getting a good deal on a 5800X3D, so I'm...

Nah it is not for benching. I use this PC for gaming. With my current 4.2 all core on 1.2V, I sit at max 50°C playing games. Only bench I ever do is a couple cinebench runs when I set a new OC profile to test it, and that forces the CPU way harder than any game I play.

I see. I'll just keep doing the "all cores" OCs then on my 3600. I'm using an all core at 4.2 and 1.2 volt right now. I'm gonna try 4.3. What happens if you go too far for your CPU? The PC shuts down? Can you perma damage it even if you are just messing with core clocks and voltage in ryzen...

When you are setting a OC on ryzen master, can you set an higher clock on the "better cores" and leave the rest on a lower all core setting? Lets say, I have a R5 3600, and ryzen master shows me 2 out of my 6 cores as my "better cores". Can you set lets say 4.3 on the two better cores and 4.2 on...

Thats great to hear. If I ever need to bump it up a bit, I got room then. Yeah the 75c was during stress test. In my daily use with this settings (4.2mhz at 1.2V) the max temp I ever saw was 52c, which is when I play a heavy game, and gaming is the most demanding thing I do in this PC.

I am new to this software, and did a couple runs with my R5 3600, first one in stock + pbo and scored 9170, and the other run with all cores at 4.2 set on ryzen master and scored 9793. Is this a considerable difference for Cinebench? I'm not familiar with the software values.

So I finally decided to mess around with Ryzen Master on my R5 3600, and my first try was an 4.2 all core, at 1.25 V. Did some testing and it is stable so far. Is this voltage ok? What would be the higher you guys would consider safe, in case I have to bump it up a bit? I hear some people...
