    When tweaking timing from DRAM calculator (version 1.7.1 and above), in PCB revision should we go with Manual, with latencies provided from Thaiphoon exported XMP or judging from the physical stick? Because looking at the physical stick, it seems to be a revision A2 stick capable of CL14, but following Thaiphoon XMP I got CL 16.

    Currently I have just put a 32 gb kit which is 2x16 with my other kit that was 2x8 both same exact speed timings and 3600 that essentially makes me run in dual rank regardless correct? Because four singles is essentially same as 2 dual rank sticks would be. Surprisingly even with 4 sticks and different sizes it still runs stable at xmp setting but can't over clock further just rated speed .. but when my 32 gb kit is solo it does allow tighter timings and higher speed

  • @pandemik0
    @pandemik0 4 роки тому +3

    What matters is the absolute latency. 3200 CL16 is the same latency as 3600 CL18: both are 56ns. The latter option will still be faster, due to higher bandwidth, and on Ryzen, higher infinity fabric speed.

    What he says still rings true to this day. I just finished a Ryzen 7 5800X build and I got two 32GB sets of Corsair Dominator but they were not my first two. The first two I got used different memory chips; one Micron one Hynix. I could tighten the timings on the Micron set but not the Hynix. I exchanged the Hynix for another set that was Micron and I am able to run all four sticks at lower timings. You can use CPU-Z to tell what chips your RAM uses. I know 64GB is way too much but I wanted four sticks for the lighting and I was not able to find four of a different size, but if 32GB wasn't enough in the future, then I would need to buy all new set(s) of RAM. Also, if you're a gamer or power user, get a minimum 32GB. A decent set of 32GB can range from $150-$200 where as a 16GB version of the same set would only be $20-30 cheaper. Just idling with Chrome, Steam, GOG, Epic, Wallpaper Engine, iCUE and other apps, I'm using slightly below 14GB of RAM. Save that $20-30 somewhere else or if you really have to, get a cheaper 32GB set, just don't get crap.

  • @Phynellius

    some higher speed/lower latency ram was only available as 8 gb sticks, so to hit 32 gb 4x8 was the only option. Besides, the extra memory rank helps. I agree buying a matched kit is the way to go, since that way it's less likely to be as finicky

    One thing I’m surprised you didn’t touch on is running 4 sticks vs 2 on a dual channel mobo. (Or maybe you did and I missed it) But I found more instability when running 4 sticks even though it’s quad ranked, the IMC seems to stress more. I had weird issues with programs crashing even though the memory is stable with memtest. Then I gave up and tried running just two sticks on the primary slots and voila, no issues since. The reason I mention this, is some youtubers like to “Fill” all slots for aesthetics and it can be misleading for noobs watching.

    • @GraphicallyChallenged

      It's worse on the IMC and there are usually 2 channels on a board that perform better, so overall 2 sticks is usually ideal for higher speeds.

      @@danimagfernandes Effectively, what you wrote out adds up to "Before I added in this better stick of RAM, my system was worse".... And yet, you still choose to include the bad... because of "amount of total RAM", in a system you're hindering BY including the worse RAM...?
      Excuse the crude analogy, but that's like putting a small rubber band around a condom in the belief that the condom will work better because of the extra "rubber".

    In the 20+ years of building I haven't had a memory problem up until last year.
    The silly thing was it was the bad lighting software that killed one of the sticks.
    RGB lighting on the G.Skill Trident Z first batch and beta software was notorious for stuffing up or not working correctly. Not sure if they fixed the issue later but I got a refund and went with non RGB G Skill memory.

    Despite cas latency being so important, it's being explained so little in this video. Like, at least since we're talking about amd, like say, if I go by 3950x or the 3600x, or now that I'm looking at it with the new CPU, the 5000 series. Do 3200mhz cl16 is better than 3600mhz cl18?

      @@rambow70 Yeah, after doing more research. 3200 CL 16 or 3600 CL18, it's actually good enough. The loss in performance for a tighter timing isn't that big of a deal after all.
      Also, after knowing that dual bank and single bank makes not much of a difference, I stopped caring since apparently as long as it's dual channel with a close to the recommended speed and latency, they'd be enough.

    At 3:50 you state that dual rank (2r) is "better" than single rank (1r) but this is not the case as only 1 side of a 2r dimm set is accessible at a time. 2r is merely a cheaper way to increase capacity at the cost of hindering the performance.
    Lets say for example your motherboard has the following specs:
    Memory Standard DDR4 1R 3200
    1DPC 1R Max speed up to 5333
    1DPC 2R Max speed up to 4700
    2DPC 1R Max speed up to 4400
    2DPC 2R Max speed up to 4000
    Maximum Memory Supported 128GB
    Channel Supported Dual Channel
    If you were trying to achieve the highest performance you would want to look for a pair of 1R DDR4 3200 (32GBx2) high quality sticks that can handle being pushed to 5333 in the bios.
    If cheap and maximum capacity is your aim you would want to hunt for a 2R DDR4 3200 (32GBx4) kit.

    Dude, we know that within a year, we will break the 16gb barrier, you should not say 16gb of ram is more then enough.
    MS FLIGHT SIMULATOR already need more then 16gb to be fully maximized....
    Also, the number of stick you use def affect the max oc on ram even more when buying ultra fast rams like 4000mhz cl15. It will be easy to activate xmp profile for 2 sticks but depending of boards, you may need to lower the speed sometimes up to 300mhz in order to make the 4 sticks works
