Latency isn't great, but you do have geardown mode enabled and quite lose timings. But otherwise good considering the price.
My latency was ~62ns running at 3200MHz 14-13-13-28 and manually tightened subtimings with my 2700X (with Gear Down Mode disabled). A lot of people seem to get ~60ns or just under at 3466MHz with tweaking (though I could never get mine stable at that speed no matter what I tried). How much difference it actually makes to performance I couldn't say.You mean fantastic for the price right? Taking into account that this kit was less than £75, sold as 3000Mhz cl15 and nowhere near the cost or performance of B-die sticks I wouldn't say these timing are lose at all.
Regarding latency, what are you comparing it to?

Out of interest, what voltages are you running?
Edit: Try bringing TRC down, should be tRAS + tRP, certainly a place to start. I'll export my current BIOS settings later and share.
Though reading properly and seeing that you're not running B-die and first-gen Ryzen, it's no surprise that it's higher. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Unfortunately the A320 chipset is locked as far as overclocking goes, even Ryzen Master has no effect.
I thought as much. Im going to cancel the order and build a ryzen system using a B450 board. Is it better to buy a ryzen 5 with 8 threads rather than a cheaper 3? It will be used for CIV 6.
What's the difference in price on these builds with Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5 Quad and Ryzen 5 6 core respectively?
To future proof I would say go with the Ryzen 5. Also the 1600 is only about 10% slower than the second gen 2600 so it might be a better option to set you sights on that.
Why not just build it yourself?
I'm going to build it and buy the components separately. The prebuilt units use FSP power supplys and none overclock motherboards I guess for Warranty purposes.
I'm going to go with a Ryzen 5, not sure which one yet, I thought Intel were bad for 1 million model numbers ha! More reaserch needed I think.
Do you have a budget in mind?
Holy Moly Rossi~, I sure hope you didn't type all of that..
I tried what you said regarding TRC, but anything below 50 results in a no post and no recoved either so I have to do a full CMOS reset.
It's running at 3466Mhz 14-17-14-10-21-50(changed from 56) now, so I guess that is it in regards to the primaries.
Quick question, is it better to have GearDownMode enabled or disabled?
LOL no, there's an export function, thankfully
Geardown disabled.
Geardown essential gives 1.5T on CAS.
Ok, so it's better to have Geardown disabled and manually set Command Rate to 1T? Better latency?
I'm guessing 1T instead of 1.5T would unleash havok on my current timings?
that’s why it’s so fun.
