My hope is 4000 on rev-e as well. Clocking high is it’s specialty. 1:1 made it pointless before though

edit: I assumed you meant micron rev-e and not some Samsung bin. Samsung e is a bit of a wildcard I think.
No, correct, Micron E.

I havnt tried to push it beyond tightening the timings at 3600. Since CL16 is 'default' XMP 3600, I assume I can hit 4000.

16@3600 is 8.9ns, where 18@4000 is 9ns, so its slightly 'slower' overall.

Awesome chart! I think it is going to take a bunch of benchmarking for sure. Crucial/Micron runs their own 4000 at 18-19-19-39 so that may be a "safe" target . You will take a latency hit but the speed may offset it.

Yeah haven't tried tweaking my 3600 c15 8x4 setup. I know it can clock well but probably a pita trying to get each setting dialed in.

@Sagath question...is the.1ns actually going to be noticed when you have the benefit of 400mhz extra bandwidth between 3600mhz @ 8.9nz vs 4000mhz @ 9ns?
Not how it works.

Slower ram at a faster CL can equal the performance of faster ram at a slower CL. Hence the chart I linked.

Essentially if the chart timings in NS are the same (or very close), functionally the ram is operating the same regardless of 'specs'.

The issue I have with that is that it doesn't take any consideration of all other timings. Only clock and cL.

ahhh! well...I can't read that chart because of the colors. my vision is overwhelmed and I cannot focus on any of the text. :p

Agree. I just want to amplify that the caviat with ryzen is that the fabric clock gets tied to the RAM freq. So while the RAM latency may be the same, the fabric clock being faster will give better performance in some uses. So 3200mhz CAS 16 is the same latency as 3600 CAS 18, the performace on ryzen should be a bit better with the 3600 due to the fabric clocking higher.

Obviously other timings will come into play as well.

@lowfat & @Bond007 Correct. My comment was directly regarding basic RAM configuration, all else being equal.

Adding in secondary timings & Zen creates a totally different scenario of performance capability, and definitely affects overall performance.
