I was using a single stick of F4-3200C16D-32GTRS. Not a bad ram as it was part of my old build and is working fine when both stick are used. I wanted to get a good b-die to have an easier time doing some tune up with it. I have never messed with ram before so I am trying to make my experience at it somewhat easy.

I would think so. Being behind my score with that speed is otherwise strange.
You are using a single stick?

I'm still only getting 12300 with my 3000mhz memory tuned to 3200.

From what I have been reading about the subject on reddit and a few other platform i would check these:
-The power plan, make sure it is to performance and stays at that (some software can randomly interfere with it, I'll pick on Alienware just because I know form past experience, their software will always change your power plan to balanced so bolo and ymmv)
-make sure all 12 core /24 threads are enabled (use task manager it will be easy to check like that)
-Check you bios version
-make sure your ram is plugged into the right slots for your specific motherboard
-check your temps and see if you are not thermal throttling
-make sure you don't have heavy background software running
- for K4n4rd0: I would attempt to try the ram at 3600mhz (same timing to begin with and tight them up later). If your score improve, it is possible that the speed you are running your ram is creating a problem

i read someone who upgraded to a 5900x from 3900x. He had a similar score until he reinstalled win10 and 3dmark... I am not sure if that would be your case
Associate
uhmm i am afraid so this is getting out of my limited realm of knowledge. what temps are you hitting during the test?
Associate
That's good enough.....I would be surprised ram size would have that much of an impact on that test (16gb vs 32gb) though Gamers' nexus mentioned something about Single vs double rank and its impact on performances with the 5000 series.
Hopefully someone else has an idea at this point because I am running out of any

This is with a 5800X but shows RAM certainly does make a difference to benchmark scores / FPS with Ryzen CPUs.

My ram was not configured correctly. With DramCalculator parameters all is fine now: Timespy CPU score 15029

Good stuff. Out of interest, have you tried CL14 DDR 3800 / IF 1900 to see if scores improve?
