Ram speed/latency combo for R5 3600?

Ends and means...

While 1% is important to consider, it's certainly not the end all and, for me, not worth the time to tweak.

Not sure how far bclk goes on these..

I've never had to touch the bclk to get up to 3800..... Stays at 100Mhz

Becasue you have the memory multiplier to play with on your board (code goes up to 4400 or something your other board similar). His goes up to 3466. I believe anything past that is bclk(?).

I don't think so... Pretty sure when you have a ryzen 3000 chip it allows you to set up to 4400+

I know what you are saying, but this is from the website......
  • Supports 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667Mhz (by JEDEC)
  • Supports 2667/ 2800/ 2933/ 3000/ 3066/ 3200/ 3466 MHz (by A-XMP OC MODE)
....the lower one is for Ryzen 3000 I would imagine. It's a board memory multiplier limitation. 3466 is all it has, then BCLK needs to take over.

Aww makes more sense now.... We are talking about different boards although I have seen people set the vanilla board to 3600 without messing with the BCLK

I've worked with the B450 Pro carbon non max and it lets you set up to 4000 if I remember correctly even though on the product page it also says 3466MHz

 
My x570 board and 3600x can do 4400mhz ram, I have 4400mhz ram kit and it works at full speed.

Yeah I would hope so you paired a 200 ish cpu with a 400 ish motherboard..... Although if you're running 4400 your cpu isn't running 1:1 and your latency is probably high how much that matters who knows. We are talking specifically about the B450 Tomahawk vanilla/max your board specifically is capable of 5000MHz with a specific kit and your cpu so it really doesn't apply.

I'm running at 3666/1833 because as you mention the latency is higher at max speed as it's not 2:1. Also wasn't paying attention to the fact you were talking about a specific board, my bad.
 
Well right now we already have games which will take ~20 gigs of ram (while benchmarking) and sorry i can't recall a name.

No they don't, unless it's something stupid like a game with 50 mods installed, no, that just doesn't happen. Also, don't confuse an application using a certain amount of RAM with what you see in task manager as being used in total.
