2700X question

It is 3600 C19. Imho if you add power could do C16 but you should be looking for 3400C14 for the Ryzen.

Any recommendations from OCUK stock? It’s been about 15 years since I last dabbled with RAM timings. Thought it had all been simplified these days. :)

@Gibbo Thanks for the info. Wrongly assumed that as it stated 3600 in the spec it would be able to run at that speed on that X470 board.
 
So 3200 RAM at tighter timings is better than 3600 RAM with looser timings?

Thought clock speed was king but not for RAM then?
 
Got it. Certainly don’t want to cheap out but there are so many variations of RAM from G.Skill I don’t know which one to pick.

I thought the one I linked above was meant to be pretty good?

Should get 3200 for sure, might get more than that with the silicon lottery combination of CPU and RAM.
 
Cheers people, much appreciated. I’ll get them ordered. :)

Apologies for the daft questions but it’s been so long since I dabbled with a decent build and overclocking I’m like a n00b all over again.
 
Nothing wrong with standard RAM at all, I’m just trying to get a few extra frames out of a 2080Ti @ 4K, and this appears to be one way of doing it after watching a few benchmarks.
