Overclocked to 3733mhz on my Ryzen 3700x no problem absolute bargain Went from my trashy 16gb Corsair Vegenece lpx kit that had 18 - 22 -22 subtimings to this kit and my 1% lows in CPU heavy games like Kingdom come deliverance and Cyberpunk improved by like 15-20%!

So I'm looking to buy 64gb of ram for my 5900x on a Gigabye Aorus x570 Master rev 1.2. The best options I could find were the Patriot 3200@16-18-18-36 for 190$ that you barely just glossed over and the G.Skill 4000@18-22-22-42 for 270$ that I see someone was able to get stable @3800 with similar cpu/mobo on pcpartpicker. what do you think would be my best bet? Or would trying to get a 4x16gb set of non-Bdie micron or hynix be a better option?

[@phero6933]

Very true about the 5800x3d. I've been messing around with my ram timings lately and while tightened timings are technically better in my system, there's no difference for gaming compared to just throwing on xmp

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

Exactly, im sick of these amd fan boys who dont even have this cpu telling everyone WELL if you put this ram in the amd system is will destroy intel. /facepalm

[@t7274]

That completely depends if/how often the game fills up the cache. There will be a big difference in 1% lows in games like Warzone where the game does not fit in the entire cache. Even if the XMP config gets a 200 fps average, it probably won't be a great experience if you're getting 55 fps 1% lows.

[@Olivia-W]

Java Minecraft is one game that is exquisitely sensitive to memory latency. Other than that, eh, whatever.

[@t7274]

@@Olivia-W a lot of games are. Less optimized games will fill up the cache really fast and once it's full, you'll feel it with slow memory. Rust is another good example of this.

​@4gbmeans4gb61 I mean the 5800x3D destroys intel regardless xD probably doesn't even matter what the ram is 😂 Edit: Even outperforms the 14900k in some games

thx for the great content, as always I value your insight and opinions! the best around imo

[@TheQuentincc]

I once bought these 4000c16 Patriot and the heatsink was really cheap/nearly not in contact with the IC, I finally returned them. I ended up buying a used (and cheaper) 3800c14 kit from G.Skill and I was able to post 4400c14 1.6v while the Patriot wasn't able to. I believe Patriot is cheaping on the heatsink and the XMP being closer to what the chip are capable of compared to other.

[@CompatibilityMadness]

To be honest, I can live with 1.45 - 1.5V max. DRAM voltage limit (because of cheaper heatsink) vs. buying non-Bdie that can take 1.5V+ for price of those Vipers.

[@GareWorks]

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere but I found that MSI's LGA1700 QVLs have the die brand and bin listed, which is super-helpful. How accurate it is, I don't know, but considering DDR5 hasn't been out for that long, I imagine it's fairly accurate for now.

[@Enzenso]

Thank you so much for putting your time for this guide! Might be not optimal for youtube, I guess, but very helpful

[@funtaril]

I got two kits of those legendary Patriot Viper Steel: 3600c14 and 4133c19, and they work great together in my case. Started with 8600k on Z370 which didn’t go exactly high, now I tune them for 5800X3D, first got stable 3800 14-16-14-24 GDM for now, will increase frequency tomorrow. Also BZ said X3D doesn’t need fast RAM but I still see improvements in benchmarks which just warms my soul.

[@MultiKokonutz]

Well of course it scales with higher clocks, just not as much as a regular 5800x

[@kerotomas1]

It scales just as well as any other cpu if the cpu has to tap into ram more because it ran into a task where even the 96mb cache is not enough, but this will not be too frequent if you are not flooring the cpu in a benchmark which is just not real world usage.

[@sealx2292]

I also think that the FCLK stuff is only true for Zen2 since there was no unified CCD design. And the CCXs had to talk to each other via the IF

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

the IMC to CCD latency is heavily FCLK limited on all Zen CPUs.

Bought a 2x16 3600 19-19-19 kit a year ago for $173 CAD (or $145 USD) that turned out to be dual rank CJR. At the time it was the absolute cheapest 2x16 3600 kit, and pretty much all other 2x16 3600 kits were $200+ CAD ($168+ USD) and were 18-22-22. Seemed like a deal and I bought it with the plan to upgrade 1st gen Ryzen to Zen3 if we ever got BIOS support on X370 (which we do now), but still haven't snagged a Zen3 chip...and I can't do over 3000 14-16-16-34 with this Zen1 chip. The fact that nowadays you can get a 2x16 3600 16-18-18 for the same or less money hurts a little bit. Futureproofing really is kind of a bad word.

I need help fast! I ordered an ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero with a 7600X, what memory do you recommend? When i check DDR5-6000 CL30-38-38-96 g.skill they state that they should be compatible with X670 mobos, they dont specify. When I check my mobos QVL they dont even state any g.skill at 6000?

[@KiriakosVids]

I know this is kind of late, but could someone please answer me this: I have 5600x with x570 aorus elite rev 1.0 ( 4 layer gigabyte board with daisy chain topology). For some reason it cannot run 2 kits of 2x8gb kingston fury 3600cl17 (kf436c17bbak2/16) at anything close to xmp without being unstable. Taiphoon says its djr but the branding on the dimms just indicates its kingston-repurposed ic's. Should i mqybe get some patriot bdie (still 2 kits of 2x8) and try to run those instead, or would that be a waste of money?

[@KonDim]

BZ what about KF564C32RSAK2-32 kingston fury 6400 cl 32 ,is it worth it for z790 19 13900k?or should i wait for new ddr5 kits to come out?

4x8 3600 14-14-14-34 $280 rn. I just feel like I won't see the value vs my $135 2x16 3600 16-19-19. I'm getting a pair of the Patriot 4000, tho, to run at 36, that price is tit

So for 12th Gen high performance DDR4 you're either looking at those HPs, a 180$ Team Group 3200CL14 kit or G.Skill Ripjaws at 4000C16 at 220$ (only looking at newegg) I recently introduced meself to hwbot having only aio, pro-a and 12600k (now de-lidded), and that's why I'm looking for such. Yes, I am cheap.

[@macht242]

G.Skill Ripjaws at 4000C16 at 220$ for 2x8 or 2x16?

[@Ben-ld1qi]

Bruh, I got the GSkill 4000 16-16-16-36 1.4v 2x16GB kit and on my 12700k I can only do we 3900C15 or 3800C14 due to poor IMC. The subtimings are magnificent though, I tuned each and every one of them to their limit. I can get 3900C14 to pass HCI on Auto subtimings but the moment I start tightening the subtimings just a bit I get an error eventually... And with 3900C15 or 3800C14 I can get some beautiful insanely tight subtimings. 3866C14 was a no go either... Kinda disappointed to be honest, especially since I bought a waterblock to cool the RAM but it's not really needed for this dram voltage.

pretty much yes

"Any Ryzen CPU will do 3600 CL18" hurt me as the guy that managed to get a 5600X that produces memory errors consistently with 3 different kits when above 3200 CL18, but technically in spec so can't RMA it. T___T

I watched this 3 times and I'm still not sure what dual rank ddr5 ram kit (32 gb) to get for a MSI z690 A pro/ core i5 12600. The MSI recs are 6400+(OC) , 6200(OC) , 6000(OC) , 5800(OC) , 5600(JEDEC) , 5400(JEDEC) , 5200(JEDEC) , 5000(JEDEC) , 4800(JEDEC) MHz.

theres a deal going on in germany right now.. corsair vengance 2x16GB 5600C36 (CMK32GX5M2B5600C36) for 169,99€.

[@michaelhulcy6680]

1:01:19 no one's properly setting up DDR5. You're earlier thing is still better. Gaming, not overclocking bots, Samsung B die DDR4, better and much cheaper than "properly" setting up DDR5. Frame chasers has the best advice. Wait for 8000 kits DDR5 with 32 CL minimum to START considering DDR5. Cost will still be expensive at that speed so those Samsung B die Patriot Viper kits will still be great. Gaming is all that matters. Benchmarks aren't games. Use your specific game AS your benchmark. What's the priority people, come on!!!

[@rokaspleckaitis566]

Should I buy 32x2 GB 3200Mhz (16-18-18-38) or 32x2 GB 3200Mhz (22-22-22-52)? This rig is mainly for modelling and some gaming, the prices are 180$ vs 160$ respectively. I'd probably just take the 16-18, cause I'm planning on buying a used 3090(maybe 3070) and 12100f (for the single-threaded performance for modelling, not rendering). Obviously I'm not buying the GPU right now.

[@NavinF]

I wish this was out a couple of days ago, but I’m pretty sure I still would have went for the 2x32GB 3600 cl16 kit I got for $340. With any luck a 2 slot Unify-X will let me run this as fast as the 32GB kits :)

[@bricaaron3978]

You're buying DDR4 today? I'm finally building a new system early next year, and I couldn't imagine using DDR4 when the system is expected to last for 8+ years (My current PC will be 9+ years old when I upgrade). That's like building a new gaming PC with PCIe 3.0.

[@NavinF]

@@bricaaron3978 LOL, I upgrade every couple of years. I think my 5800x3d will last 3 years and my 3090 will last 2 more months until I get a 4090 and send the old GPU to my brother. RAM is my least concern as far as upgrade schedule.

[@bricaaron3978]

@@NavinF Well, that's a different story. That's one reason why I couldn't have built a new system even if I wanted to. People say that "waiting" doesn't make any sense, but when you are between new technologies it's possible to build a system that "gets old fast".

[@NavinF]

@@bricaaron3978 Totally depends on your budget and whether your PC is a business expense. I really need 64G for my workload and I can’t justify spending $600 on DDR5 today just so I can avoid buying a new motherboard when I need to upgrade to DDR5 in a couple of years.

[@bricaaron3978]

​@@NavinF The price of DDR5 is insane. The price of RAM for a gaming PC build is literally over _five times_ higher than it always has been since I built my first gaming PC in 2008 --- and that's _after_ the price has dropped significantly in the last several months. Whether it was 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB, the cost was always under $100 ... usually $50 - $80 on sale. And this went all the way back: 1MB of RAM in 1990 was around $50 - $100. Now, for the first time the cost on sale for a standard gaming PC amount (32GB) is _many multiples_ higher. It's insane.

Alright next video idea, why should or shouldn't someone consider going for a k sku on 12th (and maybe 13th) gen? 12700/F is only a few percent down on a 12700K/F in 1080p gaming benchmarks. Yes I did hear you talk about VCCSA voltage control being absent, is there anything else though? Seems like DDR4 it's worse than DDR5 for getting a non-K sku (relatively worse, obviously DDR5 is better than DDR4).

What about Duel rank ddr5 vs cheap .5 ones like 8gb and 16gb sticks? What about after 6000mhz on ddr5 it changes to t2 from t1 and halfs the memory controllers speed?

Does the number have to be exactly 200 to be considered bdie or anything over 200? I need 128gb of ram and it has to be bdie manually overclocked so that I can leave razer synapse open all the time!

52:15 though not 3733cl16 there are a few 3733cl17 kits. I know viper steel and the older red vipers had one. Also i believe kingston has a 3733cl17 and cl19 kit although im not sure if the cl17 kit is only oem, since i saw it locally for sale as a hp oem replacement kit.
