running the fabric and ram 1:1 from what I have heard is more important than ram speed, but I haven't done the test to see how much it matters I have just always tried to run it this way
Whats your latest purchase?

I have more AMD tech to learn about with this upgrade... I'll have to go back and review all the Ryzen related threads on here!
Curve optimizer FTW!!!!
Runs for quite a while, but depending on your bios you might be able to just punch the numbers it throws at you into your bios for a super quick/dirty efficient overclock.
edit: And yeah.... pretty sure my ROG B550 itx bios had the option to enter in the individual core curve numbers so yours should have the ability as well.

Looks pretty smexy!!!!
You'll see a significant bump in performance over the 8700K. Do you think you'll make use of the 64GB, or is that just what the combo was? (At any rate.... I wonder if 2X32 is Dual Rank?)

Thanks! Well, Star Citizen seems to have an ever increasing demand for RAM!
Just kidding. Perhaps for running VMs, but mostly it was included in the bundle so I figured why not go from 32 to 64 when upgrading? And it allowed me to move my current RAM to my daughter's system with motherboard and 8700K.
I am actually researching the dual rank thing right now. I'm understanding is that Ryzen prefers 2 sticks, dual rank or 4 sticks, single rank (I think... I know you guys likely already covered this in the Ryzen overclocking threads). So I may lose some performance there if they aren't dual rank, but overall I don't think I'll be disappointed with the change even if that is the case.

Well, that's harder to answer than I expected. Sites the sell it don't identify dual or single rank, and an answer by what appears to be TeamGroup on Amazon.com is rather cryptic and says it could be either? So I guess I'll have to install and see. I think that is accessible info in CPU-Z?
Yes.
edit: And the ambiguity WRT Dual/Single rank is nothing new. It's been like pulling teeth from day one trying to confirm.

yup it's listed on cpu-z and early on Ryzen for me didn't like dual rank as much but that changed pretty fast with a bios update, I run 32GB of ram and only have it for VMs cause almost all games don't go over 16GB unless you do other things well gaming like watching the news or a streams
Should have done this years ago.
Not only did it eliminate 4 electrical plugs (net gain of 3 empty sockets), It also cleaned up my network cabling leaving me with a single 5 port switch w/ 3 open ports. Extra bonus in that the switch came with a laptop style brick for power as opposed to a Wall Wart.
Only downside is that Unifi's graphical topology page can't decide how it wants to display the 3 stand-alone devices (2 APs, 1 switch) since they're not interconnected within the unifi hardware.
