AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

I've gone a little mad. Was meant to be a budget build with a 3600, as an upgrade from my old 4690K, but have instead gone for the 3700X and an X570 Gaming X. It all arrived today, so the build shall start as soon as I'm home. :D

Don't expect much, if any, of an overclock. This is my first ever AMD build though. Certainly couldn't resist seeing the benchmarks compared to Intel.
Its a good CPU, they just have to iron out quiet a few things.
 
I think I'm with you there, which ones are you trying to tighten? I think I'm 16,16,16,16 32,50 at the moment 3600mhz.
Have you has luck with 3800?

My issue is my setup just flat out refuses faster timings at 3600MHz. I've tried everything.

But will keep trying. :D

From what I’ve tested there is really quite negligible differences last that point. If you increase FCLK then you get a jump in some areas but mostly on benchmarks for example minimal difference.

Try 3733, mine preferred it to 3800 You can probably manage 14-16-16-16 with the same settings also at 3600 if anything like mine. It’s a fun game, I have missed being on the princess that is Ryzen :D
 
So I returned the R7 2700 before it was too late as it was bottlenecking my 980ti at 3440x1440 in some games and now not sure whether to go for 3600 or 3700x. 80% is gaming and 20% browsing etc.

@Illuminist @opethdisciple 43 hours stable so far :p Got urge to play with timings maybe attack cl14 and see what cold i get out of it. But would need 2 be geardown off to be worth it :p

And I'm looking on them timings and I'm like.... **** where could I change something for better :D maybe try get volts down :P

Just a question : other than benchmark nbrs what is the real benefit u get going from ddr4 3200cl16 to 3600cl14 for example, is it even noticeable in games/apolocations etc.. anything other than benchmark?
