8 PACK MEMORY RANGE GROWING: SAY HELLO TO 8 PACK RIPPED EDITION & 32GB KITS!!!

I built a new comp for neighbour and tried my memory in an MSI Tomahawk Max and could not get anywhere near the speed I can get with my Asrock Taichi X570.

Thats the board which i'm using so its probably whats holding me back, still decent numbers though for a budget board and CPU.
 
It's a preset. When you select it from the list the timings go to 0 and it spits out a bunch of numbers based on fast or safe.

I just use fast. 14 15 14 14 28 ....

And that is what confused me, you said ignore safe and fast :p

Any way, my new timings aren't too dissimilar from FAST

My tRAS is lower (21 vs 28)
My tRC is lower (35 vs 42)
My tFAW is higher (24 vs 16)
My tWR is higher (24 vs 12)

The rest is the same, so I am happy with where I am :)
 
I see it makes a difference if you run these as a 2 stick or 4 stick - If i were to pick up the 3200 cl14 2x8gb sticks would the system then perform faster if i got another 2x8gb later on, owing to the single sided nature of these sticks? What's the rough difference in performance?

I've just joined the club, ordered some of the 16GB (2x8gb) 3600mhz C14.
Hope it's nice and easy to get running at those speeds I don't have the inclination for messing these days.

Going on a MSI B550 board with a 3700x.
 
Ah, I think now I've sussed it lol

Got my 2x16gb 3600 CL16 kit today. Total noob when it comes to overclocking and I've been in and out of this thread all day, and my phone has about 50 pictures on it from both here and the DRAM calculator lol.

Running on a B450 Tomahawk Max and a 3700x.

Any good? :)


Edit: It does need 1.46v, is that ok for 24/7 useage?

You could try upping the speed as I doubt you will be able to cut timings much more, if you go over 3600 you will need to manually change fclk though to maintain 1-1.

Yeah I reset everything, set the ram to 2400 and tried booting with fclk at 1900 which the pc didn't like and the fan just span. Same with 1867, but at 1833 it booted fine. I did have a go a fiddling about with the SoC and did manage to get into windows at 1900 but it needed 1.7 SoC and there was audio crackling and it crashed after a couple of minutes. 1876 was a bit better, but still felt unstable. 1833 seems absolutely fine.

Used the dram calc for 3666 and put the timings in and it booted first time. I've since just put the 3600 cl14 settings in and it works ok @ 1.47v

Scores are a bit better. Cinebench score has improved a bit also.

Oh, and it's also Planetside 2 stable and there's a noticable improvement in smoothness and less framedrops :)
 
I have just purchased the 3200 CAS 14 2x16gb pack for my X570 Master + 3900x build, I hope I made the right choice! I will overclock this to 3600+
Hope all goes well with your build.

I did notice that there is a 3600 C14 version, called Ripped (however its only in 2x8Gb kits). @Gibbo will there be a 32gb kit ie. 2x16gb, 3600 C14? ps. would there be any problems running a kit on a 3900x? thanks!

Just been having a play again and 1900 fclk is a total no go, but after fiddling 1867 works, but needs 1.16 soc voltage. But when I run cinebench it seems like the processor is being crippled (poor scores) even though ryzen master shows it's boosting as normal. Would too much soc voltage cause that? I'm guessing 1833 fclk is the cliff edge for this chip.

More SOC creates extra heat so less sustained boost.
