I'm sure most combinations of RAM will work at JEDEC speeds. The point is operating at much more optimal speeds and not gambling on compatibility later on.
Me too, thats why I switched to an aiothe fan going up and down all the time from boosting was driving me nuts.
Show us the spd page from cpu-zBut is my memory set right its 3200mhz?
Davros what are your PC specs these days?I wanted to have at least 3200mhz and I thought 3600mhz has more chance of achieving it than 3200mhz
apparently 3600 is the sweet spot with ryzen something to do with the infinity fabric not being able to sync to anything faster
OK set my CPU to never go above 3600 mhz, the fan going up and down all the time from boosting was driving me nuts.
But is my memory set right its 3200mhz?, I assume 1064x3 = 3200
cheers mate
PC froze and had to hard reset, so not the best after only one day
Good catchThat has your memory set at 2133 speed. 2x1064.5 (DRAM frequency) = DDR4-2133.

take @Silent_Buddha advice. Set it to XMP, dont fiddle with settings if you are unsure. My Ryzen 1500X suffered my fiddling quite a bit with unstable memory settings. 3 years later, though, it is working like a charm after I set it to XMP, and memory set at 3200MHz, all auto. It performs like a charm.cheers mate

Yeah I still can't run anything over 2933 with my B-die RAM rated at 3200, and that's on my 2600XThe memory controller in the Ryzen 1xxx series was so crummy that I couldn't even run 2 sticks of my current memory at XMP speeds. I could get just a tad over DDR-3000 with a lot of tweaking, but only with 2 sticks of my current memory. With Ryzen 3xxx I can OC them to 3333 with 4 sticks, but prefer to just run them at XMP rather than pushing it to the limit. I'm honestly never going to notice the difference between 3200 and 3333.
And that's with Samsung B-dies on my memory sticks. I just got particularly unlucky with my 1600x. Still, with 6 cores for the price, it was a wonderful little CPU to hold me over until AMDs Zen architecture matured enough for me to fully commit to an 8 core CPU.
OK thanks, I do have that installed, I'll look into why its not at 1600.You can also install Ryzen Master to see what speed your memory is running at. It's also a great utility for monitoring your CPU.

Im happy with the speed everything runs at now, startup of my game is under 4 seconds, with my nuc it was over 8 seconds, best case scenerio (though if I checked out something on the web it would take 40+ seconds as it would have to refresh the games memory).
have you tried updating the BIOS? This is what solved all my problems with the memory when I got the Ryzen 1500X. The only stable speed for me was 2400MHz before, but my mem's speed is 3200MHz.Yeah I still can't run anything over 2933 with my B-die RAM rated at 3200, and that's on my 2600X
Of course, about 15-20 various versions since I first bought my original 1700. I'm running the latest now. I've also tried DRAM calculator and lots of research on overlocking forums.have you tried updating the BIOS? This is what solved all my problems with the memory when I got the Ryzen 1500X.

What GPU did you end up with? I think the RTX2060Super (basically same card as RTX2070) is a solid choice though you can get a Radeon 5700 for less and it performs about the same.Complete with pics and prices
