New CPU for around £400

Since getting on a newer Bios on x570 this micron ram is absolute beast for the money will do 3800 cl14, sure I can do 4000 but never bothered uncoupling IF, but will test soon ready for 5000 series. Plus can get them quite tight too across the board, only thing they don't like is low tRCDRD and tRFC when comparing them to B-die. I can run 3800cl16 now at same voltage I used to run at 3533cl16 (max on older bios for me) and ive tested the crap out of them too.

i just got the ram last week and not been a good overclocker of ram, i tend to just tweek a bit the use it for a few days and so on.... repeating

the ram is total crap 3600mhz 18, 22, 22, 22, 42 1t. i did get 4000mhz at XMP still coupled but was a little funny booting when cold. (dont want to uncouple on a 3000 cpu)
Right now i'm at 3600Mhz 17, 19, 19, 19, 38 1t al run memtest tonight used the system for a day then just drop them all by 1 again and so on..

Edit XMP Voltage. so i do have head room still. and i do expect to get a lot lower

Ive tried every memory test going (that is free) and ive found the best for finding errors quick is TestMem5 with Usmus v3 profile (need to edit it for more cycles), I can run memtest, HCI (the one built into Dram calculator) for 12 hours and get a clean run and Testmem5 will pick up errors in 30minutes, so I dont use them anymore. Id recommend Testmem5 as best free one ive used.

You can def get lower, also Cad Bus settings can really come into play when fine tuning, I never bothered with these in past but they do help, also I wouldn't use low VDDP/VDDG like was recommended a year ago, stock settings are better in my experience. Couple things I noted tRCDRD really comes into play after 3733 and also will effect how low tFaw you can go, lot of interplay, its ****ing tedious but Testmem5 really speeds up the process.

thank for the heads up.



am only changing timing, all others are at stock. not going for records just games.

Yea me too, im not looking for highest I can go, I just find where I can get for my daily use thats 100% stable, could boot at much tighter. I just ment other settings can effect stability when lowering timings and Cad Bus really helped when at 3800, wasn't an issue at slower speeds and stock was fine.

just noticed an odd thing when setting CL
if i set cl18 i get 18, if i set cl17 i get 18 and if i set cl16 i get 16..

never seen that before is it down to the way the rams programmed?

Not sure to be honest thinking something to do with gear down mode, I know on mine if I use odd CL it will run at command rate 2T instead of 1T and will need to force 1T. Try Turning geardownmode off if using odd number CL? also turn off powerdown mode while you're at it, just forget 17 though and use 16, it will work

EDIT: yea geardown mode rounds CL up to even
