I currently have a 2700 cpu,gigabyte x470 gaming 7 wifi and 3600 mhz mem (2x8 3600 8pac and 2x16 3600mhz trident x)
have had these for a year now and have completely failed to run the ram at 3600 can only manage 3200 on both sets :(

IF i treated myself to a 3700x would it allow me to run the ram at 3600?or would i also need a new 570 mobo too?
or is it not worth the upgrade?
playing any games i a interested in fine Destiny 2 atm
opinions please :)
 
Yeah was hoping that just a new CPU would give me a better chance of running my mem at stock/3600
I mean I don't need it but as it is Black Friday time I thought why not
 
Going to Zen 2 would get you running at 3600mhz with 2 modules. With the mismatch of 4 modules it's possible but not a given.

I can only get 4x16gb modules to 3000mhz on X570.
This is what I was hoping for
Bit of an extravagance but I have been trying for a year now with no luck,or skill probably
 
Got me a 3700x,was rude not too :D
mem is now purring along @3600 :D
Damn this chip runs hot though 44oC just browsing,fans speed up and down
