for me on a aio the fans are allways a lot more noisy though the pressure required though the rad allways makes the fans make a noise i cant stand

Depends on the fans, the rpm and the curve. Mine are quiet - 6 fans on 2 rads.

Gigabyte Aorus Master / Crucial Ballistix Sport 3200. I'm yet to apply the Dram timing changes.

Has anyone here tried using the Dram calculator? I just entered the bios but couldn't find a number of the settings, so I'll have to take a look at the manual.

I followed the Hardware Unboxed video tutorial. I think for my first attempt I'll stick with the safe preset.

thanks yes try it, it should be straight forward by turning on the xmp profile, or setting the ram speed manually and also voltage.

I had no luck though would crash every time.

Maybe I should try the XMP adjustment first?

I would yes, please report back.

I would yes, please report back.

Done. Currently editing with no problems (yet).

Settings for XMP were 16-18-18-36-72 @ 1.35v.

Brilliant!! Lucky you!! Maybe I had a bad processor.

Early days yet. I haven't run memtest or anything like that but I'll keep an eye on it and see how things go. I'm in no rush.

I'm noticing laggy, loose fps in games. At first, I thought it was connected to recording but now I don't think it is.

Most of the time everything is all good but now and again the issue comes back.

I'm running the latest bios which I believe includes the latest ABBA update for my board, and I also have reinstalled the chipset drivers.


A few things spring to mind...

Should I uninstall some/all of the motherboard utilities and/or Ryzen Master?

Could it be the stock cooler resulting in the CPU throttling (temps seem fine in games)?

Is my GPU the weak point?

Could it be that I haven't pushed my memory enough (I've only resorted to XMP at present)?

Don't you run MSI OSD in games? keep an eye on that you will soon know what the cause is, it will tell you how much load the CPU core are under, what speed they are running at, the CPU's temperature, what load the GPU is at, its temperature....

You can use that info to diagnose problems, for example if you have one or more CPU cores running at 90+ % and your GPU is at 70% with your frame rates are below optimum then the CPU is not doing well in that game or part of it, if you frame rates are low but the GPU is at 98% or higher then the GPU is not fast enough.

^^ I see you mention PBO in your sig. Is that enabled by default or do I have to activate it?

Mine its not available in the motherboard but better ones have it in the BIOS, failing that you can activate it in Ryzen Master.

To expand on the MSI OSD thing.... this is an extreme example, the CPU here at 4.1Ghz is under very high load, the GPU is also at 99%, yet the FPS are 33, none of this is good but this is an extremely demanding game.

Its the sort of data you would be looking for in MSI OSD.

 

[humbug]

PBO in Ryzen Master.

 

[AStaley]

@humbug, what game is that?

 

[Ross Thomson]

I tried to install Ryzen master and it told me I already had it installed which I clearly don’t lol

 

[arc@css]

@humbug - thanks for the info, I'll take a look later today when I get more time.

Edit: out of interest, I fired up a couple of heavily modded Quake levels last night and no issues at all (wasn't recording). Memory was set to the XMP profile. Game ran perfectly.

 

[Panos]

@humbug, what game is that?

SC i believe.

 

[humbug]

@humbug, what game is that?

Star Citizen

And its Campaign Single player counter part Squadron 42

I have the same memory as you but I'm running it at 3600Mhz @ 1.42v with the same XMP timings which is apparently the 'sweet spot' for Ryzen 3000 and yields better gaming performance.

Did you use the guide on here for the memory (the ballistix thread)?

I looked in the thread here and know how to use Dram calculator but I haven't even done any major tweaking yet. All I did was to up the memory voltage and change it from 3200Mhz to 3600Mhz in the bios and then just did some testing. That's it.
