So after reading techpowerup article on zen 2/ryzen 3000 performance gain/loss with faster ram I am not sure what to do. But these are my options
I have 2 kits of ram which have given me loads of problems to the point that it had me questioning if my motherboard was faulty.
(maybe still not sure but I don't think so) the second kit I have 2 of so 4x8gb@ 3600mhz/mt's @cl18
dram kits I have.
So my options are
1. buy new board see if ram runs as it should ( not liking this since I have spent way more then wanted to on this upgrade already )
2. run the 32gb kit at stock or XMP timings just lower speed like 2800mhz/mt's if I can get it to work ( still up in the air on that ) SK Hynix chips afr
3. run the 4x8gb kit which seems to be running at XMP timings just at a lower speed of 3400mhz/mt's @cl18. Micron h/e chips
The 4x8gb would run at XMP speed but will cause my audio to crackle which drives me nuts of course
I really don't know why it bugs me so much to not have the ram run at the speeds they say it should but it does and I have never OC ram before I always just run the DOCP/XMP profile and had it work up to this point. Even all my zen 1 CPU's where not this hard to get the ram to run at the speed it rated for
I can still return the second kit or use it for a ram upgrade around the house for other PC's and there's always just sell the ram I don't need and give back a little to people who need a break on the price
Just asking for thoughts since I am not buying anymore ram IE b-die in the hopes it all works out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my longA$$ post
