Perfect @humbug - I notice it says in its spec overclock to 3200 on the RAM so no point in buying the 3600?

I don't know, mine says the same thing and yet i have options in the BIOS far higher and it runs higher.

Aye thats why I have to do the research before popping the trigger. Difference between them can be £30 or so but only looking to buy once buy right.

They all say 3200Mhz because that is how much AMD guarantees that the CPU will run. After that its silicon lottery, and RAM dependant as well.

Thanks, so back to the question then, what RAM would you buy? No point in getting the faster stuff if it has little chance of maximising it. Maybe 3400 for middle ground?

Ed- scratch that its expensive and not much about.

I would say if you can get 3600Mhz you will be better off or one that you can overclock to that frequency. From what Ive seen they all can hit 3600Mhz and 1800Mhz Infinity Fabric.

I messed up on the IF clock, its 1800Mhz lol

I was trying to send him the Ballistix E Die link but I cant find it :/

@Th0nt Look this model up, should be Micro E Die. BLS16G4D32AESB

That crucial, just checking two sticks for dual mode the way, so 2x8gb?

Does anyone have any results of the 3600 under a custom loop?

Any changes with the later AGESA/BIOS updates?

On C7HWIFI UEFI 2602 has ComboPi-AM4 1.0.0.3AB, this seems to boost slightly less for me, PBO+150MHz. I'm sticking with a beta UEFI for my board which is only available on ROG forum, this uses ComboPi-AM4 1.0.0.2.

Yes, ComboPi-AM4 1.0.0.3 definitely reduced boost clocks compared to earlier AGESAs. I'm sure they'll fix this eventually.

Just installed my 3600x today upgraded from 2600 and the gpu fans ramp up loud on start up? also should i have pbo enabled or not thanks

juno_first · 13 Aug 2019 at 18:28

AGESA 1.0.0.3 Patch ABB on Asus TUF x570. Not noticed any difference yet, 3600x will still only boost to 4267Mhz all by itself.

Overlag · 14 Aug 2019 at 10:06

Id be mad to get one of these to replace a 2700x wouldnt i?

Yes.

Just got my 3600 up and running on the b450 tomahawk max. Is there any decent guides people have used to get the best performance? The threads are pretty long now so it's a lot of trawling.

Cheers

I'd test if it's boosting to what it says on the tin. Try Cinebench single core test.
I still can't figure mine out so just did an all core OC in Ryzen Master to what it supposed to boost to, but at 1.375v, tho it's on water.
