About this deal

nitrium said:Given you can get just about the same performance by OCing a 3700X (and the 3800X doesn't OC really at all), I don't really see why AMD even released this chip - especially considering how much more they are asking for it. The value just isn't there. SOC - 1.12v -Set to max from DRAM Calculator for Ryzen for now.I use lower than max on my system for stability. Since you have DDR4 4500Mhz your good there.Adjusting all Ram timings tighter is the way to go.Even if you game at lower resolutions like 1920x1080 there will not be much difference between tight timings on 3200Mhz compared to tight timings on 3733Mhz in 98% of games.

You are fine with the Ram the way it is then,I just seems to me that you are not experienced in how the Ram works and that is fine.Just by looking at the Ram you own ,that Ram is capable of tighter timings no problem and could do CL14 3733Mhz but again it is not needed for your Ryzen and do not waste your time chasing tighter timings for zero or little 1% performance gains.Your system is fine.Given you can get just about the same performance by OCing a 3700X (and the 3800X doesn't OC really at all), I don't really see why AMD even released this chip - especially considering how much more they are asking for it. The value just isn't there. The only limits in computers is what your gear can run at and 3866Mhz is fine as any other Ram speed.Well to tell you the truth,Ryzen memory is not as important as one may think to everyone. AMD Ryzen 3800X voltages for synced 1:1:1 MEMCLK/FCLK/UCLK at 3866Mhz or 1933Mhz for highest performance. max on idle is fine as long as it's max not average. Just looked at my HWinfo64 and 1.5 across the board. See Jay2cents for lowering the voltage to somewhere where he thought it should be.

Question about memory though... shouldn't we have the 3800/1900 Limit instead of 3866 for the "perfect ratio" with IF?CL14 for me is not possible, but again, since I don't know the relations of the Timmins, it may be possible just by tweaking some secondary or tertiary timings, dunno ... Yeah, I must admit, memory is not my forte ... I just started with this. Until now it was just XMP profiles I still don't really understand the relations between all the timings. I'm no bencher … I mean, until I get to a setup I like, I bench but just to see how much improvements I get, but other than that... I don't do it

cLDO VDDG - 0.950v Most likely your auto settings set this to high,use recommended setting from DRAM Calculator for Ryzen Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK. So best base settings for your Motherboard and you would have to test every BIOS and Powerplan ,which will not make much difference at all then just letting the CPU do it's thing.

We began with a look at the Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 7 3700X last week and came away impressed, but our review left us feeling like something was missing.

I've been trying to get the 3800 but i can't ... need to try loosening my timings more ( using Dram calc ). So far IMHO there seems to be no rhyme or reason to get to the 1900 IF on the CPU - many say this is down to the silicon lottery but if you are waiting on an AIO and you are using the Wraith cooler then maybe the AIO will help.

cLDO VDDP - 0.900v Most likely your auto settings set this to high,use recommended setting from DRAM Calculator for Ryzen Anyway testing I have done in the past on Ryzen at 2560x1440 Resolution for gaming,opps I do not even know what you do with your 3800X but this can be for anyone. In thaiphoon burner export your XMP profile with complete HTML Report and save delays in nanoseconds to desktop or somewhere you would remember.
