I really hope you do a complete Ryzen and memory overclocking tutorial. These new CPU's aren't the same as older ones. It'll be awesome for someone upgrading to this new stuff from hardware from 5 or 6 years ago.
tweaking memory and the infinity fabric is the most important part of overclocking and tweaking for better performance for sure on all ryzen cpu's......i gone from 6900 score in ciniR20 to 9800 just tweaking ram to 3800 mhz cl16 timings with the infinity running 1900 mhz...half the speed of ram always for best performance ...remember Weird Ale's song .....its all about the Pentium...lmao......its all about the infinity fabric now ....lmao
The results are basically always the same , larger amounts of ram of course decent speed ram , raises the lows up and keeps them higher.. Do i need 64gb of 3600 ram? Not really... Does it give a slight performance benefit? Yes.
9:40 I own both a 3950X system and a 3990X system. In Ryzen Master, you can set clocks by core, by CCX, by CCD, or all core, as well as turn entire CCDs off. The issue (in my admittedly somewhat limited testing) is that you cannot set the voltage per CCD-at least, not through Ryzen Master. So all that fancy undervolting we might be able to do (for example, my 3990X is stable with up to a .075V offset and the clocks otherwise left to auto, and I can run my 3950X at 1.10625 and still hit 4150MHz all-core) is wasted when we have to give the okay to 1.3V+ just so a single CCD can hit that higher clock. It would be really nice if Ryzen Master let us set per-core or per-CCD voltage, that way we could set our programs' affinities so we have a low heat, decent clock on most of the CPU, but then have our 4-8 cores set up to be a little higher clocked for gaming. More granularity is always better, if the user takes the time to understand what it is they might be tweaking of course! As far as the ideal RAM clock speed, Steve made a really detailed video a few weeks or months back (what even is time?) that explained how the uclock, mclock, and fclock like to be in ratios with each other, and pushing fclock past 1800 whacks out the uclock to be 2:1 instead of 1:1 (basically cuts its clock in half), which robs you of...I want to say 9ns. But of course depending on your kit, if you just push even harder on your mclock and tighten the timings even more, you can still overcome this drawback. For normal people who want to spend their time using their computer instead of tweaking it (both of which endeavors are valid and good fun), 3200C14 or 3600C16 are some pretty attainable sweet spots currently.
My question is why do some of yall stuff run better on lower power when I have gone the opposite direction qnd see my stuff running world's smoother at a higher than stock power limit Why is this
@@Tallnerdyguy The 8350 came 4 GHz stock. 5.5 stable on all cores is pretty decent for a non-professional build. He was 17 at the time and using a Noctua air cooler.
@@IndyMiraaga Depends on silicon lottery. I can't get mine above 4.5. No matter how much I try. FYI I'm talking about the 8350 and I use water. It's literally the rig I'm still running as I type this. Damn thing just won't go beyond 4.5. (Yes I'm poor and can't afford current gen CPUs. I'm trying though. But my build is around 3K and with 2 children, 3K is ALOT for a computer.)
Now that’s some funny stuff right there, been building intel for years. Just finished my first ryzen build maybe 3 hours ago. An hour later this comes out, thanks Jay!!!
@14:13 "I challenge anyone to say they can see a difference of 142FPS and 150FPS" What about frame times, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows? That's where the real gain is.
Also, that's crossing back and forth across the 144 sync threshold on a 144 hz monitor, so it WILL be noticable, either stay over 144 or stay under it, but don't float back and forth, causes weird frame time inconsistency.
This is what I would like to see is the 1% and 0.1% as that would seem to be where you would really notice the difference as if the RAM can't keep up fast enough with moving files as needed that can introduce stuttering.
I hate these stupid tests, lets test the RAM with CPU and GPU benchmarks :'( RAM tuning makes bigger differece with "lower end" CPUs, for the best experience (low latency) not equal with highest benchmark number, everybody should use 4 stick of dual ranked memory with the tightest timings. It's 16GB for DDR3 and 32GB for DDR4. First of all they should test 3 type of CPU from AMD, because of the different layout of the chips, 3300X, 3600, 3950X. Secondly, they sould test multi player games, I would say at least with 20 player on the map. (Only Steve from HW Unboxed do some multi player testing) Just launch Fortnite and you can see the difference in the lobby where 100 player present in a restricted area. EDIT: here is an older benchmark on a Ryzen 1600 CPU th-cam.com/video/JtVRs_Q1ngQ/w-d-xo.html
@@tcclaviger Why would frame time inconsistency be problematic when the fps fluctuates between 130-150? Present an argument please, because you sound like you just heard and read from here and there that 'frame time inconsistency is baaad', ignoring the actual reason that causes it to be a bad thing.
A slight FPS boost is always nice, but the big difference I've seen/noticed when increasing RAM and FCLK was with **FRAME PACING** (frame times) Meaning, it elliminated most of the stutters and inconsitencies that I got when my 3800x ran with default RAM and InfFab speeds. The ration of MCLK to FCLK speed is/should actually always be 1:1 as DDR (double data rate) 3600Mhz means that it actually runs at 1800Mhz. The reason why I mention this is because of overclocking the FCLK. The maximum InfFab speed is 1867Mhz (DDR3733), past that it won't run 1:1 syncronous mode which will **hurt** performance.
February 22, 2020 i run my Ryzen 7 3700x Plus Msi x570 atx + Rtx 2060 8gb Super & 32gb 3000 Ram with Xmp On = Rock -N- Roll 👾 Zero issues 6 months later 🤘🏽 Thanx for Posting 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
The f clock automatically sets itself at one half the memory speed at up to 3600 MHz on Ryzen 3000 processors. The f clock goes up to 2000 MHz on 5000 series processors so 4000 MHz is the sweet spot. You can overclock the f clock on Ryzen 3000 series to 2000 MHz and the 5000 series to 2200 MHz but that involves undervolting the cpu and overvolting the I/o die. Way too complicated for most people.
I like Steve's videos for the granular data and info, I like Linus' videos for the wild tests and random content, I like Jay's videos for a mix of both worlds.
Just to clarify the bit about the FCLK (Infinity Fabric clock) at 8:26 and 12:04 - you do NOT want to run FCLK at half the speed of the memory, you want to run it at the same speed as the memory (1:1 ratio). Keep in mind the effective clock speed of DDR memory will always be double the memory clock speed shown in BIOS because it is double data rate. Just bringing this up so people won't go and set their FCLK at 1:2 by accident for 3600 speed or lower. So, like Jay says at 11:53, this is why the general consensus is that 3600 speed memory is the sweet spot for Ryzen. Most (if not all) Ryzen CPUs will do 1800 MHz FCLK for a 1:1 ratio with DDR4-3600 memory. As to 14:29 - you absolutely can run 4200 memory if you want on Ryzen without any additional effort (assuming XMP/DOCP for your memory kit works at that speed on your motherboard without additional tweaking) but you would probably be looking at setting FCLK to 1050 MHz in 1:2 ratio and lose some or all of the performance difference. And it costs a lot more, so probably not worth it.
Best case scenario after fiddling with Ryzen for the first time was lock my cores to 4.3 and set faster RAM to 3600 with tighter timings and run 1:1 with IF. PBO was always inconsistent even under water for my 3700x. I find it comparable to my 7800x locked at 4.8GHz in gaming while also having 2 extra cores.
Would have been good to see a comparison of performance with different ram timings as well, to see if there's more gains to be had from low latency ram, or just outright ram clock speed, and where the best balance of those two is.
Ill never forget the time my girlfriends friend was setting up a cellphone for us I said "please dont hit my credit a million times", her response was "dont worry, Im a ferpessional"
As some one who watches AHOC as well I have to agree, plus Cinebench is not memory sensitive and is a good example of why memory speed can and should be tuned speed wise more for your workloads as you can save money on your RAM that way. Plus 3200 is actually a JDEC spec so you can find kits that do it out of the box with out setting XMP at least when dealing with Ryzen not sure on Intel as they have not been where I've been paying attention as I'm a core heavy user. Just ask my poor Ryzen 5 3600 that has seen more full core loading than most of them will see :D
@@justjoeblow420 i dont think a single kit sold so far has a 3200 JEDEC profile yet. Kits only recently started shipping with 2400 and 2666 JEDEC profiles... Anything above that is 99% XMP profiles.
TheHavocInferno there are plenty of sticks that you can buy, and I mean PLENTY that you can buy with JEDEC 3200. I would know it too given I literally get an email from JEDEC every morning about random ram stuff. The majority of JEDEC 3200 sales come from OEM sticks. Actually, you can buy some JEDEC 3200 B die from Samsung right now.
I wouldn't say 3600 is a 'sweet spot' at all. It is for Ryzen 3000 if you don't manually OC your FCLK cuz it maxes out at 1800mhz by default. That said 3600 cl16 is a great kit of memory for out of the box XMP/DOCP. There's a lot of 3600 CL 18 kits out there which is technically slower than 3200 CL15
Put 3200mhz in my x570 with ryzen 3600. XMP was loose cl16. I manually changed it to 3600mhz tight cl18. Boost was easily measurable across the board. Highly recommend 3600mhz
I have 32oomhz memory but I bought the ASUS Prime X370 when I got my Ryzen 7 all those years ago only for the board to claim it runs 3200mhz but becomes unstable over 2600mhz. I will NEVER buy any asus product again. Nor will I buy nvidia for lying when i bought my gtx970. PC companies are the worst.
5-6 % overall performance improvement on tightly timed bdie, but 0% in some tasks and more than 10% in others, it's all over the place. The IF matters more than me freq. 14-14-14-28-42 3733 vs 3200 DOCP CL14.
Makes huge diff to minimums in some games. Like 20%+ in some. Averages in those same games only go up maybe 5% tho so people think it's not a big deal. Running samsung bdie 3600c16 at c14 with pretty much every timing tuned.
Hynix c die is just as good. I got 3200mhz cl16 hynix c die and it ocd to 3800 cl16. I saw my fps in modern warfare go from 130fps to 250fps was kind of insane and i didnt expect gains like that.
@@yoltsbp cjr is junk compared to samsung bdie it scales well frequency wise when you throw voltage at it but timing wise its mediocre at best. That being said samsung isn't worth the premium. I own hynix djr 3600c16 kit and samsung bdie 3600c16 kit.
Great video Jay. I have been having issues with my ram for a while where I couldn’t get it to run at 3200mhz even with docp on and all the turbo boost and core enhancement, etc. Thanks to this video I now know to go in and set the Fclock which I shall try later when I’m home from work. Thanks again for the great content you’re putting out.
That background really took me back, I was so confused for like 10 seconds trying to wrap my head around how you got the testing suite to work on that, then I saw the taskbar lmao, great video!
3800 C14 Fclock 1900 is very much doable on some CPUs. Most can do 3733/1866. Custom timings also make a big deal on 1% lows even more than outright FPS.
Maybe 🤔🤔 the effects of different power supplies on the Overclocked stability would make a good video 😁👍 I have my Ryzen 3900 memory at 3800 and fabric at 1900 with timings tightened. It’s very stable and never had it BSOD 😁👍 I believe it’s because of my power supply which is a Corsair AX860i digital power supply. It used this power supply to run an old intel quad core duo overclocked from 2.6Ghz to 3.4Ghz which was fully stable.
Been running a Ryzen 3600 X with fclock @ 1800 MHz on 3600 ddr4 Viper cl14 & core enhancement Since January 2020, a week after I built it. Good to know it already doing the best.
Perspent is the percentage performance you gain for the percentage money spent. Spend $500 and get 500 performance points Spend $1000 and get 1100 performance points This gives it a +10 Perspent value.
It's the exact opposite. Faster RAM raises your avg fps because it removes some throughput bottlenecking from the top % of your fps where your CPU load is minimal. For example looking mostly at a skybox in a game will see your fps dramatically increase as the CPU is allowed to run free, and with faster RAM you will get higher fps there. However, when then CPU itself is under a heavy load (as Jay showed with Cinebench) the effect of RAM speed becomes negligible as the bottleneck moves to compute instead of throughput. That is to say - if you only want a stable fps (e.g. you're capping it somehow for G-sync or Freesync), RAM speed has very little effect on your experience.
Amd ryzen master, you can specifically target cores to overclock, I oc 2 of my cores to 4.4 and the other 4 at 4.3 on my 3600. It's fun to mess with too.
That's weird, I am running a 4.3 Ghz all core oc using ryzen master at 1.225V , anything above 1.3V makes my processor heat up like crazy in prime 95. Have you ever run prime95 for stress testing or just cinebench?
@Tinkering With Tech I’ve ran 4 different Ryzen cpus since zen1 launched and never had a single issue. It’s cute when people with bad analytical skills make broad generalizations about computer parts they just don’t know how to use.
Exactly what I said in a comment yesterday: 3600MT/s is the sweetspot, and the Infinity Fabric doesn't run at "half speed" it runs at the same speed as the memory bc 3600MT/s Dimms run at 1800MHz, so: it's 1:1 . DDR4 after all means Double Data Rate 4, they transfer Data at both the rising and falling edge of the frequency they run at. PS. Crucial has the best price/performance Dimms. The difference between 3200 and 3600 isn't really big, so just buy whatever you can find cheaper.
Generally yes, but also no. Just buy 3200 Micron E-dies and you are set. My friend has a 3800X and his fabric runs at 1900+ MHz and CPU at 4.4GHz. (MSI MEG Unify X570 Mobo, Crucial branded E-dies (can go to 4600 effortlessly in case you would ever need)) With timings adjusted correctly, gives you a solid %20+ performance boost almost all across the board.
Looking back at his uploads what I think it might be is the fact that he's uploaded like 3-4 videos in the past year with "ram speed effecting gaming" in his titles.. I guess they weren't specifically about ryzen but I'm pretty sure his test bench is ryzen now anyways lol
Please do a video about timings on ryzen as well. Becasue some people say you can get hella better performance with that. Oh I forgot. Great video Jay. :)
When I purchased my Ryzen 7 3700x last September I didn't purchase any additional ram. Used my old Crucial Ballistax 2400mhz sticks. I had a crash a day. Eventually I remembered that the first launch of Ryzen if you weren't running at least 3000mhz ram you'd have problems. After 2 weeks of having problems I went and purchsed some vengeance lpx 3200mhz ram. No problems at all after installing the new ram.
When I started doing memory overclocking on my b350 board, if I locked it up with bad settings I had to remove the memory completely, clear the CMOS, boot it without the memory in the slots, then turn it off and reinstall the memory, then it would boot with default memory settings.
Yes memory timings video please!! I've been into building computers since 2013 and I've overclocked everything I can in all those computers except memory
I took some cheap corsair dom 3200mhz 16-18-18 up to 3600mhz 18-19-19 and my score went up a lot . My fps in games also noticeably up. I feel frequency/infinity fabric boost is more noticeable than when I did 3200mhz with tighter timings. X570 3600 cpu
Fabric clock isn't half of memory speed when it's half of *reported* RAM frequency. DDR means Double Data Rate, which means RAM talks twice per clock. That is shown as double actual frequency. Fabric clock is exactly RAM freq when it's "half", probably also why it gives the best performance because they are in sync.
I am still seeing a lot of 3200mhz 8x2 sticks on sale for around $60 -- G-Skill, Crucial, etc. Just sign up for newsletters from etailers and you will be notified when parts go on sale. I doubt DDR4 will see a big price increase when they need to clear stock for DDR5 in 2021.
linus did same video awhile back and nothing happened with prices so doubt they will now unless stock runs out.. and seeing as all the MOBOs are gone unless u buy the highend ones they may be next on the list. I did however upgrade from 16g 2933 tridents to 32g of 3600 after they went on sale
I don't know about you but ordering multiples of twin packet sticks (ie x2 packs of two sticks/pkt for 16GB DDR4 @3600MHz) saves a coupla hundred, compared to 4-pack 'matched' ram. Its much like Crossfire and SLI to me. The bet I make is to stack twin stick packs in the A1 B1 +A2 B2 dimm slot order so the electronic abstraction sees each matched ram pair in their own channel (if I have that right). **Can't wait to finish my build: now 64GB of 3600MHz ddr4 richer, just arrived. G.Skill Ripjaws V Black, in a Black Corsair Crystal 280X mATX case with its glass top pane sitting on stacked nylon washers and the grommets upside down for extra standoff height, main glass side panel grommets reversed to set panel flush against case, front panel dust filter removed. I have an MSI Radeon RX 5700XT Mech otw (this model is only 232mm long). Almost everything going on inside my case is black, except the brushed aluminium heatsinks of the Asrock X570M Pro4 mobo, and its white printed stuff, and the Ryzen 9 IHS. Not a fan of pretty lights. I might custom build a puppet theatre stage curtain-esque drape to the glass side panel .. I'll think it over.
Like how you summed up the ending. Can you maybe make a series where you go over all of the words/terminology(specs), so that a noob can maybe understand what your saying. Love the channel.
Upgraded my system a couple of months ago. Running a 3700x, 2070SUPER OC and originally 3200mhz ram. Performed awesome but after hearing comments from the various pc hardware content creators about the 3600 'sweet spot' I thought why not try it. What a difference! Benchmarks were noticeably improved across the board. Glad you did this vid to basically 'prove the point' but yeh.. it's 100% true
It depends on where you are. Mayfield Heights, OH has a BUNCH of motherboards, not sure about the budget CPUs, though. The main issue I'm seeing GLOBALLY would be power supplies. I can't find a single decent 650W+ Gold that isn't price gouged to fucking smithereens.
Ryzen 3 3200G is probably the most overrated CPU I have seen. It costs as much as Ryzen 5 1600, but is MUCH worse. Not only in game performance, 1600 is 6c 12t CPU which gives you better framerate on lower usage. I would say the best budget CPUs are Ryzen 5 1600, 1600af, 2600, Ryzen 3 3100x. Eventually I3 9100F
@@MrDutch1e 3300x is basically non existent right now, can't get em anywhere! I had this planned on a custom build and had to bite the bullet on 3600xt because it was all they had in newer amd cpus with relative or better performance, although of course, way less price/performance value for me sadly which is probably why it was available! 😂
Not fast memory but low latency memory. Memory at 3600 with FCLK at 1800 is the sweet spot, but Ryzen wants low timings to improve performance, unlike Intel. This video was kinda pointless imho, it told nothing about how to improve Ryzen gaming performance. It just said what we all know already and kinda misled people into thinking that memory timings are inconsequential for Ryzen as they are for Intel.
Regarding the F clock, it's nice to learn something new. Jay's explanation was spot on. Was a bit surprised that he wanted to do a CPU test and in the SOTTR tests turned everything up to max; I would have thought the opposite - having everything set as low as possible - would have been more beneficial for the relevance of the scores. When it comes to my PC setup, when checking the mobo QVL list that my CPU supports, running DDR4 at 2933Mhz is as high as I can go before needing to use the DOCP. As I have 2400Mhz installed (new BIOS updates have improved the base line memory stock performance since building said system) I would imagine the upgrade to higher speed RAM would only gain around 5 to 8 percent performance in games, I'm not sure it's worth the £70 cost.
x86 memory addressing was always awful and all of these are just work-arounds to the core problem: X86 was never meant to have this much RAM. You can tweak your ram till the cows come home--and you're right--the speed increase isn't remotely tied to cost nor is it worth it--especially for non ECC UDIMM.
Jay FCLK it's actually on a 1:1 ratio if you put it at "half" ram speed, base ram speed it's exactly the half of what you see (DDR = Double Data Rate), so that's actually 1:1, and that's why you have the best results with such settings. And no, CL timings DOES COUNT. At least in gaming. I have my ram at 3733 with a mix of cl14/15 with very tight subtimings, and difference with cl16 and relaxed sub timings is it there. The only downside of oc ram too much, it's you will get really higher temps on the cpu, because you just increase the cpu ipc by having way faster memories, but temps really spikes up. If I put my ram at 3200mhz cl14 (stock xmp/docp profile) I have something like 10 Celsius LESS on my cpu, and spikes (mainly in idle) are way less prominent. I tried also with 3733mhz but cl16 timings, and temps were always lower than with very tight timings. My 2 cents? If you have a good cpu cooler, leave zen 2 do what he does (boost, or turn on pbo with some UV, but be careful, or you will get core stretching), and play a LOT with rams, it's where you will get the major boost, especially in gaming.
Usually with ad spaces I'm like oh cool I'll avoid that company because if they need ads they probably suck but microcenter is my favorite place. It's better than buying online and if I have to buy online it's nice to know that I'm supporting a cool store and business. Also nice vid Jay lol
You can tune the Ryzen cpu's any which way you want with Ryzen master. If you turn OFF precision boost and Cool&Quiet (in the BIOS) you can use Ryzen master to maximize all overclock components to the max. without risking damage. I currently got a Ryzen 5 3600 running at 4.3 Ghz all cores with overclocked RAM (2666 to 3200 Mhz) just buy changing the core clocks and FCLK within Ryzen master. These settings resulted in the best scores ever reached with this configuration in benchmarking tests (novabench,userbenchmark, etc..) It took a lot of testing but it seems to me there are 2 realistic options for Ryzen owners : 1. keep it at stock settings and use ODCP/XMP (which i actually recommend for the majority) 2. find the sweetspot and keep it there (or at least find the highest stable overclock) HINT : if your motherboard can exceed the limits of your cpu then use ryzen master so you don't have to clear the CMOS all the time after a lock up ...
@jayzTwoCentz your comments about Ryzen command rate helped me get my XMP profile to work properly on my 3600mhz memory. I'd been messing with Fclock turning it down and other ideas i got from this trying to get it to run at the rated 3600mhz profile and the only things I changed from default were some stuff with the bus termination and the command rate (set to 2T) and my 4x8gb of 3600mhz CJR dies stuff from Gskill works as advertised now with everything else left on auto. I've been banging my head against a wall with this for weeks. I have 2 other rigs it still only will hit 3000mhz in using my old stable profile because they don't seem to like this one (both rigs have the same model of a different board from gigabyte for x570), but at least the one I use the most and for gaming where it seems to matter is running as advertised now
Timings are important, that's why you are probably seeing less of a difference in these non real life scenario tests. If you keep the "Timings as stock" as you put it, you will have lower latency on lower speeds as it will follow JEDEC specs... So timings matter, usually quite a lot more than raw clock speed.
R5 3600X here with DDR4 running at 3733Mhz and Fabric Clock set to 1866Mhz (OC). Most Zen 2 chips will be able to overclock the Fabric Clock to this and if you plan to upgrade to upcoming Zen 3 (aka Ryzen 4000) it makes sense to invest in higher frequency RAM. Also don't forget to tweak your subtimings too using Ryzen DRAM Calculator as it makes a noticeable difference.

I really hope you do a complete Ryzen and memory overclocking tutorial. These new CPU's aren't the same as older ones. It'll be awesome for someone upgrading to this new stuff from hardware from 5 or 6 years ago.
Like i did 4 weeks ago. Went from 8320fx to r5 3600x
tweaking memory and the infinity fabric is the most important part of overclocking and tweaking for better performance for sure on all ryzen cpu's......i gone from 6900 score in ciniR20 to 9800 just tweaking ram to 3800 mhz cl16 timings with the infinity running 1900 mhz...half the speed of ram always for best performance ...remember Weird Ale's song .....its all about the Pentium...lmao......its all about the infinity fabric now ....lmao
Jay is not the guy you want a memory overclocking tutorial from. Such resources already exist though.
Watch gamers nexus video. Jay is good for entertainment but gamers nexus is better for data imo
Or you could, ya know, watch that content from other youtubers who did it already AND are more tech savvy
I wanted to see the 1% and 0.1% low result in games with different ram speeds.
That's GN heracy right there
You'll have to look at GamersNexus for that.
The results are basically always the same , larger amounts of ram of course decent speed ram , raises the lows up and keeps them higher.. Do i need 64gb of 3600 ram? Not really... Does it give a slight performance benefit? Yes.

9:40 I own both a 3950X system and a 3990X system. In Ryzen Master, you can set clocks by core, by CCX, by CCD, or all core, as well as turn entire CCDs off. The issue (in my admittedly somewhat limited testing) is that you cannot set the voltage per CCD-at least, not through Ryzen Master. So all that fancy undervolting we might be able to do (for example, my 3990X is stable with up to a .075V offset and the clocks otherwise left to auto, and I can run my 3950X at 1.10625 and still hit 4150MHz all-core) is wasted when we have to give the okay to 1.3V+ just so a single CCD can hit that higher clock. It would be really nice if Ryzen Master let us set per-core or per-CCD voltage, that way we could set our programs' affinities so we have a low heat, decent clock on most of the CPU, but then have our 4-8 cores set up to be a little higher clocked for gaming. More granularity is always better, if the user takes the time to understand what it is they might be tweaking of course!
As far as the ideal RAM clock speed, Steve made a really detailed video a few weeks or months back (what even is time?) that explained how the uclock, mclock, and fclock like to be in ratios with each other, and pushing fclock past 1800 whacks out the uclock to be 2:1 instead of 1:1 (basically cuts its clock in half), which robs you of...I want to say 9ns. But of course depending on your kit, if you just push even harder on your mclock and tighten the timings even more, you can still overcome this drawback. For normal people who want to spend their time using their computer instead of tweaking it (both of which endeavors are valid and good fun), 3200C14 or 3600C16 are some pretty attainable sweet spots currently.

@14:13 "I challenge anyone to say they can see a difference of 142FPS and 150FPS"
What about frame times, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows? That's where the real gain is.
Also, that's crossing back and forth across the 144 sync threshold on a 144 hz monitor, so it WILL be noticable, either stay over 144 or stay under it, but don't float back and forth, causes weird frame time inconsistency.
That's how I noticed my RAM OC didn't stick. MHWorld was stuttering like crazy!
This is what I would like to see is the 1% and 0.1% as that would seem to be where you would really notice the difference as if the RAM can't keep up fast enough with moving files as needed that can introduce stuttering.
I hate these stupid tests, lets test the RAM with CPU and GPU benchmarks :'( RAM tuning makes bigger differece with "lower end" CPUs, for the best experience (low latency) not equal with highest benchmark number, everybody should use 4 stick of dual ranked memory with the tightest timings. It's 16GB for DDR3 and 32GB for DDR4.
First of all they should test 3 type of CPU from AMD, because of the different layout of the chips, 3300X, 3600, 3950X.
Secondly, they sould test multi player games, I would say at least with 20 player on the map. (Only Steve from HW Unboxed do some multi player testing) Just launch Fortnite and you can see the difference in the lobby where 100 player present in a restricted area.

"It's only wednesday and it's been a long week"
I felt that
A slight FPS boost is always nice, but the big difference I've seen/noticed when increasing RAM and FCLK was with **FRAME PACING** (frame times)
Meaning, it elliminated most of the stutters and inconsitencies that I got when my 3800x ran with default RAM and InfFab speeds.
The ration of MCLK to FCLK speed is/should actually always be 1:1 as DDR (double data rate) 3600Mhz means that it actually runs at 1800Mhz.
The reason why I mention this is because of overclocking the FCLK.
The maximum InfFab speed is 1867Mhz (DDR3733), past that it won't run 1:1 syncronous mode which will **hurt** performance.

Hey Jay love your vids!
The f clock automatically sets itself at one half the memory speed at up to 3600 MHz on Ryzen 3000 processors. The f clock goes up to 2000 MHz on 5000 series processors so 4000 MHz is the sweet spot. You can overclock the f clock on Ryzen 3000 series to 2000 MHz and the 5000 series to 2200 MHz but that involves undervolting the cpu and overvolting the I/o die. Way too complicated for most people.

I know in Ryzen Master I can individually set core speeds for my 2950x
Same for my 3600x
same with my 2600x
Same for my 3600
same
Same for a 3900x
Just to clarify the bit about the FCLK (Infinity Fabric clock) at 8:26 and 12:04 - you do NOT want to run FCLK at half the speed of the memory, you want to run it at the same speed as the memory (1:1 ratio). Keep in mind the effective clock speed of DDR memory will always be double the memory clock speed shown in BIOS because it is double data rate. Just bringing this up so people won't go and set their FCLK at 1:2 by accident for 3600 speed or lower. So, like Jay says at 11:53, this is why the general consensus is that 3600 speed memory is the sweet spot for Ryzen. Most (if not all) Ryzen CPUs will do 1800 MHz FCLK for a 1:1 ratio with DDR4-3600 memory. As to 14:29 - you absolutely can run 4200 memory if you want on Ryzen without any additional effort (assuming XMP/DOCP for your memory kit works at that speed on your motherboard without additional tweaking) but you would probably be looking at setting FCLK to 1050 MHz in 1:2 ratio and lose some or all of the performance difference. And it costs a lot more, so probably not worth it.
Best case scenario after fiddling with Ryzen for the first time was lock my cores to 4.3 and set faster RAM to 3600 with tighter timings and run 1:1 with IF. PBO was always inconsistent even under water for my 3700x. I find it comparable to my 7800x locked at 4.8GHz in gaming while also having 2 extra cores.
I love how you kept the mistakes in. Lol. Really makes your content more enjoyable, and shows that you're just as human as the rest of us. :)
Really appreciate the large monitor. I can actually read benchmark number.
Would have been good to see a comparison of performance with different ram timings as well, to see if there's more gains to be had from low latency ram, or just outright ram clock speed, and where the best balance of those two is.

AHOC fans: What
As some one who watches AHOC as well I have to agree, plus Cinebench is not memory sensitive and is a good example of why memory speed can and should be tuned speed wise more for your workloads as you can save money on your RAM that way. Plus 3200 is actually a JDEC spec so you can find kits that do it out of the box with out setting XMP at least when dealing with Ryzen not sure on Intel as they have not been where I've been paying attention as I'm a core heavy user. Just ask my poor Ryzen 5 3600 that has seen more full core loading than most of them will see :D
AOC fans: RACIST!
@@justjoeblow420 i dont think a single kit sold so far has a 3200 JEDEC profile yet. Kits only recently started shipping with 2400 and 2666 JEDEC profiles...

Oh hey someone actually recommended what I did. Got 3600MHz CL16 RAM for $70 for my 3600.
Me too Buddy
thats what everyone knows, jays late to this party by months...
I wouldn't say 3600 is a 'sweet spot' at all. It is for Ryzen 3000 if you don't manually OC your FCLK cuz it maxes out at 1800mhz by default.
That said 3600 cl16 is a great kit of memory for out of the box XMP/DOCP. There's a lot of 3600 CL 18 kits out there which is technically slower than 3200 CL15
Put 3200mhz in my x570 with ryzen 3600. XMP was loose cl16. I manually changed it to 3600mhz tight cl18. Boost was easily measurable across the board. Highly recommend 3600mhz

I will NEVER buy any asus product again. Nor will I buy nvidia for lying when i bought my gtx970. PC companies are the worst.
Would love to see how well tuned b-die kit does vs typical docp settings
5-6 % overall performance improvement on tightly timed bdie, but 0% in some tasks and more than 10% in others, it's all over the place.
The IF matters more than me freq.
14-14-14-28-42 3733 vs 3200 DOCP CL14.
It made a huge difference for me in game FPS at least. Borderlands 3 ran about 20% faster.
Makes huge diff to minimums in some games. Like 20%+ in some. Averages in those same games only go up maybe 5% tho so people think it's not a big deal. Running samsung bdie 3600c16 at c14 with pretty much every timing tuned.
Hynix c die is just as good. I got 3200mhz cl16 hynix c die and it ocd to 3800 cl16. I saw my fps in modern warfare go from 130fps to 250fps was kind of insane and i didnt expect gains like that.
@@yoltsbp cjr is junk compared to samsung bdie it scales well frequency wise when you throw voltage at it but timing wise its mediocre at best. That being said samsung isn't worth the premium. I own hynix djr 3600c16 kit and samsung bdie 3600c16 kit.

3800 C14 Fclock 1900 is very much doable on some CPUs. Most can do 3733/1866. Custom timings also make a big deal on 1% lows even more than outright FPS.
A RAM timing video would be much appreciated, I've tried messing with it on my mobo and results have been mixed...
Maybe 🤔🤔 the effects of different power supplies on the Overclocked stability would make a good video 😁👍
I have my Ryzen 3900 memory at 3800 and fabric at 1900 with timings tightened. It’s very stable and never had it BSOD 😁👍 I believe it’s because of my power supply which is a Corsair AX860i digital power supply. It used this power supply to run an old intel quad core duo overclocked from 2.6Ghz to 3.4Ghz which was fully stable.

Magnus Nilsson I feel enlightened
On my 3700X processor, Cinebench R20 scores were improved about 15% when I went from 2133 to 3000.
What about 1% lows. In my experience, that's where the faster RAM makes a difference.
It's the exact opposite. Faster RAM raises your avg fps because it removes some throughput bottlenecking from the top % of your fps where your CPU load is minimal. For example looking mostly at a skybox in a game will see your fps dramatically increase as the CPU is allowed to run free, and with faster RAM you will get higher fps there. However, when then CPU itself is under a heavy load (as Jay showed with Cinebench) the effect of RAM speed becomes negligible as the bottleneck moves to compute instead of throughput. That is to say - if you only want a stable fps (e.g. you're capping it somehow for G-sync or Freesync), RAM speed has very little effect on your experience.
Amd ryzen master, you can specifically target cores to overclock, I oc 2 of my cores to 4.4 and the other 4 at 4.3 on my 3600. It's fun to mess with too.
What voltage do you set?
Anywhere around 1.4375 to 1.4875
But the main oc that I set is a 4.375 overclock on all cores and I have the volts set to 1.4375
It was able to run cinebench r20 3 times in a row with no problems
That's weird, I am running a 4.3 Ghz all core oc using ryzen master at 1.225V , anything above 1.3V makes my processor heat up like crazy in prime 95. Have you ever run prime95 for stress testing or just cinebench?

Indeed.
Exactly what I said in a comment yesterday: 3600MT/s is the sweetspot, and the Infinity Fabric doesn't run at "half speed" it runs at the same speed as the memory bc 3600MT/s Dimms run at 1800MHz, so: it's 1:1 . DDR4 after all means Double Data Rate 4, they transfer Data at both the rising and falling edge of the frequency they run at. PS. Crucial has the best price/performance Dimms. The difference between 3200 and 3600 isn't really big, so just buy whatever you can find cheaper.
Generally yes, but also no. Just buy 3200 Micron E-dies and you are set. My friend has a 3800X and his fabric runs at 1900+ MHz and CPU at 4.4GHz. (MSI MEG Unify X570 Mobo, Crucial branded E-dies (can go to 4600 effortlessly in case you would ever need)) With timings adjusted correctly, gives you a solid %20+ performance boost almost all across the board.

When I purchased my Ryzen 7 3700x last September I didn't purchase any additional ram. Used my old Crucial Ballistax 2400mhz sticks. I had a crash a day. Eventually I remembered that the first launch of Ryzen if you weren't running at least 3000mhz ram you'd have problems. After 2 weeks of having problems I went and purchsed some vengeance lpx 3200mhz ram. No problems at all after installing the new ram.
When I started doing memory overclocking on my b350 board, if I locked it up with bad settings I had to remove the memory completely, clear the CMOS, boot it without the memory in the slots, then turn it off and reinstall the memory, then it would boot with default memory settings.

Fabric clock isn't half of memory speed when it's half of *reported* RAM frequency. DDR means Double Data Rate, which means RAM talks twice per clock. That is shown as double actual frequency. Fabric clock is exactly RAM freq when it's "half", probably also why it gives the best performance because they are in sync.
me: goes to parts picker.com and watches the cost of 3600mhz ram double for the next 6 months.
I found at Amazon that they got 2x8 3600 for 80 bucks Corsair something
I am still seeing a lot of 3200mhz 8x2 sticks on sale for around $60 -- G-Skill, Crucial, etc. Just sign up for newsletters from etailers and you will be notified when parts go on sale. I doubt DDR4 will see a big price increase when they need to clear stock for DDR5 in 2021.
linus did same video awhile back and nothing happened with prices so doubt they will now unless stock runs out.. and seeing as all the MOBOs are gone unless u buy the highend ones they may be next on the list. I did however upgrade from 16g 2933 tridents to 32g of 3600 after they went on sale
You can just buy 3200 mhz CL 16 DRAM and overclock it to 3600 with minimal effort like mentioned.
I don't know about you but ordering multiples of twin packet sticks (ie x2 packs of two sticks/pkt for 16GB DDR4 @3600MHz) saves a coupla hundred, compared to 4-pack 'matched' ram. Its much like Crossfire and SLI to me. The bet I make is to stack twin stick packs in the A1 B1 +A2 B2 dimm slot order so the electronic abstraction sees each matched ram pair in their own channel (if I have that right).
**Can't wait to finish my build: now 64GB of 3600MHz ddr4 richer, just arrived.

I thought the requirements for ryzen is really fast memory to maximize its performance
Ryzen 3000 series processors get noticeable gains for ram speeds all the way up to 3600mhz. Past that, however, the gains and much more negligible.
@@squigglefitness should I bother trying to OC my 3600mhz kit then?
Not fast memory but low latency memory. Memory at 3600 with FCLK at 1800 is the sweet spot, but Ryzen wants low timings to improve performance, unlike Intel. This video was kinda pointless imho, it told nothing about how to improve Ryzen gaming performance. It just said what we all know already and kinda misled people into thinking that memory timings are inconsequential for Ryzen as they are for Intel.
@@marsovac what sticks would you buy for a 3700x I honestly watch stuff like this and still kinda don't get the info I'd like for gaming purposes
@@Trizjoe low timings 3600mhz kit is the sweet spot for ryzen
Regarding the F clock, it's nice to learn something new. Jay's explanation was spot on. Was a bit surprised that he wanted to do a CPU test and in the SOTTR tests turned everything up to max; I would have thought the opposite - having everything set as low as possible - would have been more beneficial for the relevance of the scores.
When it comes to my PC setup, when checking the mobo QVL list that my CPU supports, running DDR4 at 2933Mhz is as high as I can go before needing to use the DOCP.
As I have 2400Mhz installed (new BIOS updates have improved the base line memory stock performance since building said system) I would imagine the upgrade to higher speed RAM would only gain around 5 to 8 percent performance in games, I'm not sure it's worth the £70 cost.
x86 memory addressing was always awful and all of these are just work-arounds to the core problem: X86 was never meant to have this much RAM. You can tweak your ram till the cows come home--and you're right--the speed increase isn't remotely tied to cost nor is it worth it--especially for non ECC UDIMM.
"3,5 is slow these days"
Me, with my "slow" 1700 at 3,8 GHz: 😮
me with my 1700 at 3.7Ghz 😠
3.5 is my max ☹
Love the 386 startup sound used from Strongbad's Emails ;)
It’s a dot net.
tl:dr 10:42
I never know what Jay is trying to say. But the movement is nice, the RGB is colorful, and Phil's laugh is warming so I watch
Awesome video, great info as always. I am running to my PC to make the changes!
Jay FCLK it's actually on a 1:1 ratio if you put it at "half" ram speed, base ram speed it's exactly the half of what you see (DDR = Double Data Rate), so that's actually 1:1, and that's why you have the best results with such settings.
And no, CL timings DOES COUNT. At least in gaming. I have my ram at 3733 with a mix of cl14/15 with very tight subtimings, and difference with cl16 and relaxed sub timings is it there.
The only downside of oc ram too much, it's you will get really higher temps on the cpu, because you just increase the cpu ipc by having way faster memories, but temps really spikes up.
If I put my ram at 3200mhz cl14 (stock xmp/docp profile) I have something like 10 Celsius LESS on my cpu, and spikes (mainly in idle) are way less prominent.
I tried also with 3733mhz but cl16 timings, and temps were always lower than with very tight timings.
My 2 cents? If you have a good cpu cooler, leave zen 2 do what he does (boost, or turn on pbo with some UV, but be careful, or you will get core stretching), and play a LOT with rams, it's where you will get the major boost, especially in gaming.
Usually with ad spaces I'm like oh cool I'll avoid that company because if they need ads they probably suck but microcenter is my favorite place. It's better than buying online and if I have to buy online it's nice to know that I'm supporting a cool store and business.
Also nice vid Jay lol
You can tune the Ryzen cpu's any which way you want with Ryzen master. If you turn OFF precision boost and Cool&Quiet (in the BIOS) you can use Ryzen master to maximize all overclock components to the max. without risking damage.
I currently got a Ryzen 5 3600 running at 4.3 Ghz all cores with overclocked RAM (2666 to 3200 Mhz) just buy changing the core clocks and FCLK within Ryzen master.
These settings resulted in the best scores ever reached with this configuration in benchmarking tests (novabench,userbenchmark, etc..)
It took a lot of testing but it seems to me there are 2 realistic options for Ryzen owners :
1. keep it at stock settings and use ODCP/XMP (which i actually recommend for the majority)
2. find the sweetspot and keep it there (or at least find the highest stable overclock)
HINT : if your motherboard can exceed the limits of your cpu then use ryzen master so you don't have to clear the CMOS all the time after a lock up ...
@jayzTwoCentz your comments about Ryzen command rate helped me get my XMP profile to work properly on my 3600mhz memory. I'd been messing with Fclock turning it down and other ideas i got from this trying to get it to run at the rated 3600mhz profile and the only things I changed from default were some stuff with the bus termination and the command rate (set to 2T) and my 4x8gb of 3600mhz CJR dies stuff from Gskill works as advertised now with everything else left on auto. I've been banging my head against a wall with this for weeks. I have 2 other rigs it still only will hit 3000mhz in using my old stable profile because they don't seem to like this one (both rigs have the same model of a different board from gigabyte for x570), but at least the one I use the most and for gaming where it seems to matter is running as advertised now
Timings are important, that's why you are probably seeing less of a difference in these non real life scenario tests.
If you keep the "Timings as stock" as you put it, you will have lower latency on lower speeds as it will follow JEDEC specs... So timings matter, usually quite a lot more than raw clock speed.
R5 3600X here with DDR4 running at 3733Mhz and Fabric Clock set to 1866Mhz (OC).
Most Zen 2 chips will be able to overclock the Fabric Clock to this and if you plan to upgrade to upcoming Zen 3 (aka Ryzen 4000) it makes sense to invest in higher frequency RAM.
Also don't forget to tweak your subtimings too using Ryzen DRAM Calculator as it makes a noticeable difference.
A video highlighting the DRAM Calculator for Ryzen would be really cool Jay. Easily got my 2666 set up to 3000 in a few minutes and its super simple.
So is the Dram Calculator pretty accurate?
