good idea. this is the mystic art of the overclock the voodoo beyond the bclock and the multiplier. the black arts of the magic acronyms. good thing that motherboard bios makers do a decent job of tweaking timings with training cause if we all had to set everyone one of these by hand without xmp as a starting point it would take months to get decent settings.

[@bobhumplick4213]

also would like to see a test where dual rank dual channel memory is tested against single rank dual channel memory. if i take 4 sticks of single bank ram and put them in a 4 slot motherboard do i have dual rank now? thats how it works right? i know there is a small uplift with dual rank on modern cpu's. a couple tech sites have done stories on it

I have one nagging curiosity after experiencing the SPD not reading correctly with OCing of something completely unrelated to the memory system. Where does the SPD chip on DDR4 DIMMs get its power from? Is it a dedicated pin on the DDR4 slot, or is it attached to one of the primary memory power rails (VDDR, VDDQ, VTT, VDDL, etc)? Great vid GN crew. B)

[@nickwallette6201]

@@Jumptohistory Oh they are! I wrote an AVR ASM routine to write a buffer of memory to an ARGB strip. It's a 1-wire serial interface, so the difference between 0s and 1s is how long to hold a high level on the line before going low again. You latch the values (and reset the serial bus) by holding low for a specific amount of time. On a micro running at ~8 to 20MHz, it's a matter of counting cycles for the loop, then padding any time (hopefully) remaining without going over your timing budget. :-)

Man, this reminds me of my masters PC architectural courses. We had to write code from scratch to emulate an x86 processor, create a virtual cache and memory to simulate how data is transferred between all 3. He'll then ask us to retrieve data at certain points in time in either the cache or memory to check if it was the correct data. I think we even went into ECC coding. It was a summer course and that wasn't enough time to really really dig into it. We sped through so much (50+ pages per week) and very few passed.

2 years and a pandemic later and were still waiting on the discussion of 2endary timings

[@RazorSkinned86]

Optimizing memory timings for a specific desktop build has always been important, especially if you want to get the most stability and performance out of your system. Anytime someone see's a "page fault" blue screen on a windows machine, it means they really should manually configure their system memory. For a few years though, all the marketing behind XMP had really paid off. Most people who thought of themselves as "enthusiasts", stopped caring about tweaking their memory timings and just used XMP. When XMP didn't work out of the box, they then either blamed the memory vendor, the CPU maker, or the motherboard vendor... All problems that can be solved for brands by good PR teams and "viral marketing" of online product review sections. That same really good marketing and PR, resulted in people forgetting that most memory DIMMs are using basically the same memory ICs... "enthusiasts" stopped bothering to check or care about what kind of memory they were actually buying (samsung/micron/hynix revisions A thru H) and were only thinking about the memory vendors brand names. "Influencers" and product reviewers stopped mentioning what type of memory IC's different consumer memory brands were actually using for individual products. This was good for memory vendors, because it made the good old fashion bait and switch waaaaay easier. Oddly, I don't think it was actually AMD Ryzen that triggered the social zeitgeist suddenly caring again about properly configuring memory for an individual build and actually being aware of what type of ICs DIMMs are using... but I think it was crypto currency mining. A shit ton of non-technical people suddenly began self-taught crash courses on GPU bios software coding and more specifically exactly how DRAM functions. When suddenly an extra 15% memory performance, means 15% more $$$'s earned per hour and system instability means $$$'s lost... people suddenly start looking past marketing bullshit and learn how things actually work.

[@gordongoodman8342]

ArhGee Do you of a good read on this subject?

[@nimernimer]

It’s not often such information is found on KZbin comments. Great job preserving to expand.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

Adjusted speed and timings myself manually. FX 6300 performs slightly better and PC feels more instantaneous. GTA 5 felt like it has less delays in rendering frames, making it smoother. Was totally worth it, didn't change stock voltage. Same power consumption and more performance, perfection.

[@VADemon]

Based on my limited observations people stopped caring about timings around DDR3, that's XMP, right. But at the same time CPU overclocking became a very easy task with 2 cranks: You have vCore voltage and CPU multiplier. That's all (and people are still somehow afraid to overclock). What this has done to overclocking is that lowered the entry barrier. You don't have to spend time reading, you just need to know what the "safe" voltages and achievable CPU clocks are. Why has everyone forgot about memory? Because it didn't stop CPU OC any longer. BCLK stays constant, memory controller is decoupled from its clock. With BCLK overclocking you had to take care of all the other things, including the consistency with the memory clocks. And BCLK OC had stopped being THE method around the time DDR3 has become widespread. As an early Ryzen adopter I can confirm though that memory was given the importance again. People saw the high memory clocks on Intel platforms and the clocks problems on Ryzen. Since next to none had the deep knowledge of manual timing tuning people tried to find working chips for high clocks (Samsung B/E-die memory etc). For my part I can say that firmware was in awful state, no matter the memory chip capabilities. When the secondary RAM voltage must be at 50% of the main voltage (following the standard), but the firmware doesn't adjust for this automatically, then it's not just a Ryzen/platform fault. XMP profile sets 1.35v but that secondary voltage remained at default 0.6v... This was fixed at some point in summer 2017 (Asus X370 Prime). (not to mention that firmware is built with crap and sticks and works somehow, according to people working in the industry, but that's a topic for another day)

[@sneakeyboard8305]

I always hated the XMP marketing bs. Industry loves it for the almost non-existent amount of time spent "improving" a product which would sell a lot by simply slapping jargon to it. I too have blamed the wrong manufacturers for this.

Where is part 2?

[@jackben5706]

Great video thank for that shed's some light on the complexity of RAM. Have you ever made Part 2. Would love to go more in depth on the subject. Looked for it but couldn't find it. Keep up the amazing work you guys are great. 👍

[@BrianCroweAcolyte]

..... So basically just buy RAM that's on your motherboard's QVL list and use XMP lol

flowing along with the article while running the video is highly recommended

Great video. The fact that the memory vendor can't set all subtimings explains the importance of following a motherboard manufactures memory QVL if you want to minimize potential issues.

Where's Part 2?

[@AlexandruJalea]

I like complicated stuff. I enjoy turning my brain to mush. I love being confused. Thank you for tinkling my interest. It was adequate. Good effort. 😵🥴🤣

Definitely downloaded, saved, shared, all that shit

As someone who hasn't studied these things in a fair amount of years I feel like you broke it down pretty well and yes for every definition you need 3 more to truly grasp about 50% of whats going on, writing a BIOS and microcode aint easy but someone has to do it until the google AI learns to write one anyways

Me waiting on part 2: 💀

This is great, I've always wanted to really understand these timings and you're right, the definitions are complicated even as an engineer
