What 16gb ddr4 ram for a desktop pc ?

it is, same latency 10ns.
plus You winning with 1600mhz clock on which infinity fabric of your cpu will run.
congrats.

unless it hurts You that its not as advertised?
 
Kind of worked updating bios with only 1 ram block but strange it won't run 3000mhz cl 15 but would do 3200mhz cl 16 which is just as good, do i dare try + 3200mhz cl 16 or 17? No, not when 3200mhz is stable :p
 
id say that ram oc'ing is not scary,
constantly updating bios is :D

Keep 3200 try for cl14
 
it won't do cl 14 im pretty shure
 
They are only rated at 300mhz cl 15 which they won't run with my mb

The other timings are not good enough to make a real difference
 
200 mhz and lowering the CL isnt much, typically.


I think that is pretty okay since they would run 3000 cl15 only cl 16, normally you can't go lower in cl if you raise mhz

What sub timings should i try, since my ryzen flare x 3200mhz cl 14 scored in the 3100 using the passmark performance test, with my corsair ram at 3200mhz cl 14 i only get a few points under 2300
14 16 16 32 and tRC ?

holy crap that is freaking awesome! did You use dram calc for ryzen? after all this struggle that is even better than expected!

btw whats the deal with constantly switching graphics cards?
 
Honestly, to me, memory overclocking is a waste of time as it typically yields so little. You are not benchmarking competitively so, set the rated timings and go is my suggestion. It isn't worth the angst.

Passmark is junk, for the record. Too many variables tested to say one change suddenly makes things better.

Faster memory cam make a difference

I have used it when i had 3200mhz cl 14 flare x ram, no way i can benchmark ryzen flare x ram again using a different benchmark.
 
Sure it may seem like a lot going from 2133 to 3200. You are going from 3000 to 3200. Not worth the time or effort for me. You can see there is not too much difference between 2666 and 3200. ;)

But yeah, passmark is MEH at best, but to run it and isolate memory is not really possible considering the score is based off ALL tests. You can keep at it, but I'd rather set it and use the PC. Youve got a 2060.... you aren't hurting for frames at 1080p.
 
3000mhz cl 16 to 3200 cl14

nice!
I like that cpu oc 4.2ghz at 1.3V as well!
