Nice video,

8400 is fine on stock cooler runs at 3.8ghz when all cores are loaded on stress test at around 75c.

Performs at very low voltage aswell, only ~1.136v. I think budget boards should be easily capable of supplying that much and thus being able to maintain that 3.8ghz all cores.

Interesting, faster than I expected.

One last question, motherboard wise are there any standouts/recommendations in your testing experience?

Thanks
 
For what its worth to people, 3600CL16 is equal to 3866CL18 and 4000CL19 is slower than both due to slacker secondary timings.
3600CL14 fast but I can't get it stable without sacrificing speed.
Aim for 3200CL14-3600CL16 is what I've found.

If I reduce the CAS Level will that require more voltage to the RAM? I'm currently at 3600CL18

Does it make that much difference in day to day use ?

Is there a way to roughly work it out without practically testing ?

The reason I ask is I don't have the patience or time to do any proper testing :)
 
So bar Hitman 2666C14 performs within spitting distance of everything else.

On the topic of super-high-speed memory kits, the gains here are limited, too, often below 1%. So spending all that money on a faster graphics card instead should be more useful, at least if you are a gamer. Modders should also sign up for higher-speed memory which often come with better visuals and lighting options, ie. RGB, etc. Should you be a competitive overclocker, then every little bit of performance matters and money should be no object.

So it's only really Ryzen that benefits from faster ram then.
