The b550 taichi has 2*m.2 slot

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

Apparently it does. Oh well the board it's replacing is the B550 vision-D which is getting really expensive and hard to find. I wouldn't recommend a B550 Master to anyone who wants to OC. The B550-E is similar in features to the Taichi but the Taichi is better equipped for RAM OC.

[@mainly_dyutish9]

@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking no u had mistakenly said that it had 3 so I pointed out it

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

@@mainly_dyutish9 yeah I'm agreeing with you. I made a mistake about how many M.2s it has. I'm just also explaining why I wouldn't remove the board from the list anyway since there aren't really any better alternatives to the B550 Taichi.

[@arshiasoleimany4509]

@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking Taichi has consistent issues with mem even on the new topology. I’ve worked with about a half dozen people on OC discord who’ve had extreme difficulty with the board. The only thing I didn’t extensively test regarding the issues was termination, namely the ODT impedance. Assuming that wasn’t the cause of the issues, I’m personally hesitant to recommend the board for memory OC.

I mod my PCIe covers to add extra buttons such as Clear CMOS and my case didn’t have a reset switch and I have added a power button in parallel to case one and mounted it on my desk

[@BonnersMonsters]

Howabout the gigabyte vision d-p? Just dropped on newegg. What I mean is it seems to trade little ram overclocking for more pcie slots and dual x8 pcie simultaneously/sli.

[@PwadigytheOddity]

Thank you very much for this. I am an enthusiast who likes to tinker with their daily setups and learn hardcore overclocking because it fascinates me and indirectly teaches me about the hardware and the physics/engineering behind high-performing hardware. But having high-end dailyable set-ups is perfect content for me, and I think a lot of people. Also, using your power-plane cooling idea (not fool cooling, but basic heatsink and fan) did increase performance by a measurable amount on a 5900x.

[@silfrido1768]

What mobo are you using ?

[@registeredblindgamer4350]

I got 4x8gb Patriot Viper Steel 4000 C19 and damn I am glad I listened to you. With them it made memory overclocking a lott less painful because basically anything I typed in worked andwould stay stable. Thanks for showing me a kick ass memory kit for cheap.

[@mickzR1]

which mobo you running?

[@John.Fielding]

I'm currently running 32GB (2x16GB) of Crucial 3600 CL16 at XMP on a 3400g / MSI x570 Gaming Plus (yeah yeah I know the VRM is crap on this board, but I don't overclock these days). I've also got a 16GB (2x8GB) kit of the same stuff, identical XMP timings just single rank Rev-E instead of dual. I was thinking of running all 4 sticks as 48GBs in a triple-rank configuration after I eventually swap out this 3400g for something with Zen3 when prices hopefully come down a bit later in the year. Any oddities you can think of that I might run into when running such a configuration?

[@GroundGame.]

My Favorite PCB and Bdie education channel. 🧠 ❤️ P.S thank you so much for informing us about the additional discrepancy between x570 base clock issues, I was about to get a x570 for some hobby OC, 😅 phew.i wasn't aware of this.

[@doldol1]

What more can you hope to get than 4000Mhz IF and ram speeds? This runs perfectly stable on my Dark Hero with an x5950/Samsung 4000Mhz b-die mem kit. Afaik that's basically as far as IF will go anyway. Or can B550 push this meaningfully higher with BCLK?

[@DClaville]

Question BZ, What are your current thoughts on the B550 Unify-X? People are saying it's inconsistent and some of them such as mem OC and that I should not buy it if I can't get it binned? It fits more or less what I want to try and play with but I csnt afford to buy a few and bin to sell the bad ones. Is this a real concern or?

[@BigAdude75]

Would the G.SKILL DDR4-3600MHz CL14-15-15-35 (4x16GB) work well just using with the 5950x using XMP?

[@ATJ.]

I already have a set of the g.skill F4-3600C16D-16GVKC 2x8 GB that i bought 8 months ago, would you recommend me buying another set of the same kit, or getting rid of the kit i have and get the 4x8gb kit they sell? .btw i have the b550 aorus pro v2

[@Lukas_Miglioranza]

Hi! Thanks for your videos. What set of 64gb (or 128?) I have to choose for Msi Meg x570s ace max? I'm studying and searching the entire internet but I'm not sure yet. I hope you'll find some second for answer me because I need some help. Thanks again for what you do for the community. Bye!

[@thatsgottahurt]

What do you find is the most common reason to not being able to hit 1900FCLK? 5950x, x570 Aorus Master, TridentZ Neo 3800CL14. Like you mentioned 1900 will just not boot. Any tips to getting a boost in FCLK? or does it come down to the individual CPU or MB just not being up to the task? Thanks for the video!

[@nyftn]

what memory kit would you recommend for a b350 board running a 1800x . running an older 2666 kit now on 2800 speed with low timings. but with all those 3600 kits I'm lost . i know I might have to turn the speed down . but is it still better for timings? i mean will a 3600 kit cl 16 run 3200 cl 14 for example ? I'm no expert , my knowledge is basic.

[@robs7060]

Since you really seem to know your ram and motherboards, Could you recommend any budget samsung b-die kits for a 4x4gb or 4x8gb configuration? This is for mining monero-xmr where 4 sticks is optimal, would be paired with an underclocked 3900x or 3950x. Could you recommend a budget b550 motherboard that can handle 3600 cl14 ram configuration with the best vrm possible at or under US $150?

[@iarwa1n635]

Hey buildzoid, I have Strix B550-F, 5900x and F4-3200C14D-32GTZR samsung b-die dual rank kits. My memory is super unhappy with this board. But I know the board was running my single rank kits @ 4000. Do you think I should sell the board and get a unify x or I should sell the kits and try to get another b-die kit. Thanks.

[@michaelrobinson9643]

Are you willing to do or suggest a guide for overclocking the 2x16GB 3200 CL14 kits? They have been around a fair while so I imagine wquite a few of us have them.

[@diegocervantes4977]

I bought the patriot viper steel 4x8 4000mhz CL19. For my motherboard msi mag b550 tomahawk atx am4 and I have a ryzen 5600x. I don’t know much about overclocking ram but what can I do to be able to run stable at xmp or close to that?

[@FinalSentinel]

10:01 On the ASRock X570 Taichi board, I believe the 3rd m.2 only shares PCIe lanes with the bottom PCIe x4 slot, so you should be able to run 8 SATA drives and 3 m.2s if you wanted, and give up the bottom PCIe slot (if I'm reading the manual correctly. ASRock doesn't have a nice storage compatibility chart like gigabyte or ASUS). Thanks for the great video as always Buildzoid. Nice to have a great summary video like this. Helped me makes my final purchasing decisions.

[@sharkwithmanners1734]

Hi there I would like to ask you for your help ? My new pc build is going to have a 5950x with a gigabyte auros X570S master, but am struggling for which memory to use. The store that is going to build it for me have picked Corsair dominator platinum 16Gb (2x8Gb) 3600Mhz Cl 14 X2 packs. They only stock Corsair memory, I won’t be overclocking the memory so wanted to know if this was good memory to use or if you would recommend a really good kit that maybe I could buy separately and plug in myself. Many thanks in advance

[@eawblablatron9161]

So even if I use 2 dimms and reasonably oc them I can still use them with the Master x570 and just leave those 2 slots empty. My goal is max exploit of IF... which is 3866ish? Question is I'd like to have 64gb in my system for longevity (on a 5950x). but rumours here and there are 32gb sticks are more difficult to oc. Could I ever reach 3866ish ( if cpu permits) with a 2x32gb?

[@BornToKillMaster]

No to 2 of the same trident kits, what if I want 4 ram for 64gb how do I do that? And with overclocking as well

[@IamLaR1]

Has there been an update to the 570 Bios/chip drivers that allows for better Mem OC. I have the 5950x and the Asus HeroVIII.

[@sldkjh]

I have the "avoid" B450 Gaming F from Asus and it's running 2000 FCLK on the 5600X quite ok, I just had to bump the four voltages that dram calculator recommends you use, and just a tad over that recommended value for three of them. I did experience some USB reconnecting issues like Ryzen does, like you said that is unstable infinity fabric, so I bumped up those four voltages and now it's running ok. No memory errors on 4000 CL 16, overclocked 3200 CL14 Flare X. I could not get CL 14 to work on 4000 yet. Thanks for creating this channel, I have learned a lot from it. Good luck with your XOC endeavors! I am currently building a custom water loop for the 5600X. Why? Because I want to overclock the snot out of it, and maybe get a 5800X in the future.

[@andreiclawhammer]

No mention of the Patriot Viper RAM? WHY? Weren't those your favorite memory to OC?

[@zacnoob]

If i use a x570 rog strix F is there anything i should look out for for 5950x?

[@antoniocampos1151]

What about the B550 Tomahawk? I have currently the 5600x on it, but later on I would consider upgrading it to a 5900x or 5950x.

[@sensou5772]

I'm going to ask the maybe stupid question but I have 2 sticks of Viper steels 4000 CL19 (PVS416G400C9K), running at 3800 CL16, on a 5600x , would it be a bad idea to try to get 2 more sticks to get 32gb of ram?

[@CurseOfDeath]

What do you think about Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-4400 ?

[@EdiosPL]

Hey, my buddy has a problem with his RAM for 5950X (G.Skill Ripjaw 4000mhz CL16 32 GB), it only does 2133MHz (1064.5), all XMP profiles are unstable. Could you explain how to set it up? Can it work at the recommended 3600 MHz?

[@mrliquiddevil7709]

can you do a mobo led debug code video? there is little information on the net about this. are the codes different by mobo brand? chipsets? platforms? amd or intel? or are debug codes universal? pls help

[@bill2319]

hi Buildzoid, I have two sets of Patriot 4400 CL19 kits (cause they're so cheap!) to run with a 5950x. I understand running xmp is a no-go, but what frequency and timings should I be aiming for? Edit question: How badly does my Asus x570-F (yea I know it's a dumb board but it came through a bundle deal) hinder me tightening the timings?

[@parawm4585]

Also have 2 of these kits. I have them running 3800 CL14 at 1.49v on a Tomahawk X570. Any higher gives WHEA errors. If you can boot 3800 and are WHEA free (try it at CL18 first to check if it boots and if you're WHEA free) that will likely be the max. I had to buy another set and bin the sticks to do CL14 though, initially one stick was holding me back at 3800 CL16 for the set of 4. Sold the two worst sticks. Individually all the sticks I kept do 4400 CL16 at 1.5v, but as a set its max 4200. But thats with FCLK/BLCK not 1:1 (just wanted to check). Shame we cant do FCLK 2000 1:1 on Zen3 right :(((. Thats why I bought these sticks initially last november when Zen3 came out. I even had 3 different 5900X CPU's and one 5800X in my board to check if I could run higher FCLK. All failed at exactly the same point of 1900 FCLK. Starting to think its the board (bios/agesa/X570) and not the CPU's Infinity fabric......

[@darkest-hero]

I have a question about ram, so if I want to run the highest lets say at 4000ish and have 4 slots filled ideally what should I go with?

[@riekopo7638]

What X570 board does you recommend for normal CPU?

[@faux123]

@buildzoid. You mentioned 4 stick DDR4 being horrible? why? what's the tech limitation that's causing this? I have 4 sticks (8 GB) of B-die and on my Aorus X570 Aorus Elite Wifi, I can't even enable XMP which was 3600-CL18-19-19-39-58 older Coasair Vengeance (with just white LED lights). The best I could do with my 4 stick is 3400 CL14-15-15-31-48. 33 MHz over 3400 will result in mobo not even POST regardless of voltage adjustments on b-die or mem controller on my Ryzen 5900x.

[@byambadorjlefever5191]

I bought 2 sets of G.Skill Flare X 16GB (2x8GB) 3200 C14. Planned to OC to 3600 C14 or C16 FCLK 1800. Is that possible? According to your video it would be terrible, close to impossible. Please advise.

That didn't happen so I searched specifically for B-Die kits. I managed to get a dual 8gb Corsair Dominator Platinium 3600 CL16 which apparently is worse B-Die on the market but still. Please tell me if Typhoon confirms that those are Samsung B-Die, they should be easy to OC with my Ryzen 3 3300x placed on Asus X570 Crosshair VIII Formula. Why they basically don't go more than stock D.O.C.P.?

[@DiJAndy]

Oh by the way I subscribed to your channel almost 2 years so I watched many, many, many videos with you doing OC DDR4 sticks. I feel quiet sure how to do it following your steps🙂. But still mine Dominator's they don't boot after slightly changing settings other than D.O.C.P. Can you give me some advice, please? I can write serial numbers if you want... P.S.

[@curthandlovic8987]

Any opinion on the asus 570 crosshair dark hero?

[@CarbonPanther]

Does a higher base speed (ex. 4400Mhz CL19) allow for lower secondary timings at also lower frequency when trying to keep the 1:1:1 Ratio?

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

4400 CL19 sticks will regularly hit 3800 CL14 with around 1.5V dimm.

[@jonathanf4082]

For 128GB 4x32GB Ryzen systems, it is ever worth doing more than XMP? Also it looks like the Crucial kit you recommended only comes in 2x32 configs. It's difficult to find any information on working 128GB Ryzen configs. I know quad rank is terrible on Ryzen but some projects actually need the ram! Threadrippers are so expensive...

[@anders3460]

For the B550 Pro v.2, they at least list that exact kit as supported in a 4 dimm configuration. I guess there's no guarantees about what performance you get, but it's better than nothing.

You’d need to run gear 2, but at that point it makes no sense. If you aren’t overclocking, even 4400 19-19-19 will beat 4000 14-15-15. Frequency is King if on gear 2, and a higher frequency kit if ram with looser subtimings will consistently win.

[@atanubaishnab4811]

any tip for x470 crosshair vii ?

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

On the ASRock X570 Taichi (Razer Edition) the only compromise is that you have to choose if you want to use the third M.2 slot, coming from the chipset or the regular chipset PCIe slot. The 8 x SATA always works. (Source: Me and a personal system 🙃)

[@cosmotect]

Wait, I thought Aorus Master did have dual bios? Am I understanding something wrong? I am quite new to all this

[@askopte]

Gigabyte x570 pro massive vdroop(3%) even with highest llc setting(turbo), also BCLK always hover around 99mhz. Is it normal? Should i upgrade? processor is 5900x.

[@yosar6107]

Turbo is not highest llc setting. At least on B550 pro. There are two higher ultra and extreme (unless they added those two in comparison to x570). And btw vdroop is quite desirable for overclocking CPU. Go and watch AHOC videos about it. For BCLK at least on B550 you have to set manually Infinity Fabric clock (and disable spread spectrum) to get 100 MHz.

[@qxe1328]

Should i get the 4000CL14 2x16 kit and drop speed and timings or just get a 3600CL14 because I want the most possible OC potential.

[@kaiwenwu8148]

4000 cl14 is better

[@henryzhang7873]

I was literally just looking at boards for the CPU I managed to finally get, thanks!

[@madd5]

how much did you pay for 5950x? :)

[@henryzhang7873]

@@madd5 $800. I managed to get one off Amazon. Now the mobo + RAM is gonna cost another grand.

@@madd5 hey bro why didn't he included dark hero and hero in the video? and why he include b550 pro v2 over b550 gaming edge?can you explain me which is better msi b550 boards orr gigabyte b550 boards or asus?

[@wayneosman8971]

WOW incredibly descriptive, I loved it, More, more, more please. I've been looking for a motherboard and Processor like a Ryzen 7 5800X or (really leaning towards) 5900X. I was seriously looking at ASRock X570 Tiachi. After your review and some insight, I believe MSI MEG B550 UNIFY X might be it if I can find one. I was on the right track for ram and bought G.SKILL Ripjaw V32 GB (2X16) DDR4 3600 but didn't realize the CL was 16 until now hope their ok. P.S. I "Subscribed", "Clicked the Bell" and chose "All" to get every video.

[@unitedfools3493]

Does the Unify X have built in GPU (or 5950X has APU?) ... it looks like a HDMI slot on the rear IO.

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

Lots of AM4 boards have display outputs but only the APUs have iGPUs. the Ryzen CPUs don't have display out.

[@ryche.rising]

I need 128GB for a 5950X, but around here I only have the Crucial Ballistics 3200 in 2x32GB kits. My country sux when it get about memory choice. The 3600 CL16 appears from time to time, but it is rare. Is there an absolutely "no-go" situation for running 4x32GB of 3200DIMM on a Crosshair VIII Formula? I would appreciate any advise around this. Thanks. Edit: I would run this CPU as closely as stock as possible.

[@JR-yt7xf]

I'm in the exact same situation as you, Luis.🤔 I'm searching the web & forums for a long time for any answer, did you find (or could you recommend) any compatible kit for a 128go ram configuration ? Thank you so much ! 🙏

[@Shunx06]

Do these work for the 5900x ?

[@patrykmarciniak9941]

Doesn't the VRM of the B550 Unify and Unify-X have terrible coil whine issues?

[@60_70]

I'm using a Unify-X and I haven't been able to hear any coil whine over the sound of my fans.

[@nedimbasic7823]

For the 570 motherboard u got 2x8 pin do u need to buy adapter for that for the power supply?

[@karama300video]

You don't need to use both if you are not overclocking with LN2.

[@RealNox]

Is dual rank ram better?

[@albionnika]

I have a 5950X on a Crosshair 8 Impact (the DTX board) currently running Hynix DJR 2x 16GB 3600 CL16-19-19-39. Would it make sense to go with the Micron kit 2x 32GB 3600 CL16-18-18-38? Apparently you can run that kit at 4000 MT no problem. Yes I need 64 GB of RAM

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

if you need 64GB of RAM I'd say the Crucial 3600 CL16 is the only option regardless of the OCing capabilities.

[@maxwood9007]

I’ve got a 5950x on an x570 TUF Plus and just recently replaced my 2x16GB CJR with some 4x8gb CL15 4000mhz Ripjaws B-Die. My normal weekday workload demands >32GB, but I went with 4x8GB over 2x16GB so I can take out 2 for pushing OC leaderboards. Sadly it doesn’t seem like it’ll be feasible to boot XMP, and glancing at prices I can return this kit and buy the 2x16GB 3600CL14 kit AND the 2DIMM b550 board at no additional cost. Do you think that’s worth it? I know you’ve raved about the x570 TUF in the past, but I’ve found pretty subpar CPU OC results (CO has been great, PBO has been dog), and I’m gonna be honest I’m tired of ASUS’s terrible documentation and BIOS “design”). I’ll admit I haven’t tested too many config above CL15/CL16, and need to tinker with SOC/VDDP/VDDGs/impedances at lower FCLK, but I’m concerned about missing my chance to return the sticks. Any thoughts? TL;DR: Should I replace my TUF x570 + 4x8 4000CL15 Ripjaws (won’t boot at XMP or CL16) with the first b550 board + 2x16GB 3600CL14? It’ll probably only cost me $20 tops

[@aaron_333]

Where does the Asus x570 Crosshair VIII Hero now sit in your 5950X board ranking?

[@xhogan89x]

The fact that he never mentioned the dark hero means this dude has 0 idea what he's talking about
