It's not like we have plenty of Ryzen posts on this forum with people having trouble getting their Hynix RAM that high... no sir.
And it would be helpful if you provided some CPU-Z validate links to back your claims of having built many systems that got to 2933Mhz CL14 on Hynix, especially of that 3200 LPX kit that runs at '14-14-14-32-48'
And we've had plenty of benches in here which show that RAM does make a difference, especially higher than 3200.
We can always make it simple. In any year when at least 20% AAA games released in that year can score better average fps with 1st gen Ryzen than with Kaby Lake, I'd be glad to donate a free 1st gen Ryzen to whomever finds it first.
Yes, it was a nightmare to get anything that was not Samsung running previously, but it is not the case now. So I should hope there were lots of people complaining, since that is how the problem has been recognised, and partially resolved. I would like to see the ability to get beyond 3200MHz, as the higher you clock the CPU's the more the memory speed matters, but currently you are having to put circa 1.40-1.45v, into them for stability, which isn't ideally.
So faster than 3200MHz, where would you like to see the difference, I'll put my test system to stock clocks, and run the memory at whatever speed you want, and test it in an application (if it's free). Anything that is obviously using huge memory bandwidth will so a difference relative to the percentage difference in clock speed, but normal none benchmarky applications will show it's much lower. SO... REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE is what I am getting at.
I know you may find it hard to believe, but I don't give a damn what people buy/use, I do this for a living, hence why I don't dismiss either choice, be it Intel or AMD, and for the time being we are using more Intel due mainly to the lack of APU's. What I don't like it people who have clear platform preferences due to some weird inability to admit sometimes, other things work as well or better than what they have or what they like, it's sad, and shows how close minded people are. Arguments aside, there is not a single reason that people should be fed duff information, and hearsay, it helps no one, and only causes unneeded arguments and ill-informed decisions.
