You’re not missing out on a ton of performance, but there are gains to be had w/ OC if you’re interested in it. No, DDR4-3200 is typically binned with tight timings that makes it very competitive with a weak or average DDR4-3600 kit. The timings on these memory bins can be super aggressive versus higher memory speed grades, and that usually overpowers frequency. Probably very tight timing 3600 or 3800, just like the Ryzen 3000 Series. What’s the best memory, even if i have to overclock?

3600 is a good bet because it’s a good value in perf/$ for someone who wants to plug and play. Is it the best in every category? No, but that’s not what the sweet spot is. Okay, so what’s the best price/performance?ĭDR4-3600 continues to be a “sweet spot.” The kits are inexpensive, widely available, perform well, and have good compatibility. But don’t be surprised to see a bunch of people bringing that magical 2000MHz fclk home with DDR4-4000. There is no “safe bet” that your CPU will reach this frequecy. In upcoming AGESAs, we will be implementing additional tuning that will make reaching 2000MHz easier.

2000MHz fclk is to the Ryzen 5000 Series what 1900MHz fclk was to the Ryzen 3000 Series. What is the fastest possible RAM you can run with 1:1 fclk?ĭDR4-4000. Man shruggingĦ) What about the VOLTS and the CELSIUSES. power with the Win10 Power & Sleep sider AFTER you install the chipset driver.Ĥ) Is the memory controller the same? YES.ĥ) Do you need a new AGESA for pre-5000 Series CPUs? No. Upcoming AGESA work will make this easier.ģ) But you CAN tweak Ryzen perf vs. Don’t expect to see one.Ģ) Yes, it can clock to DDR4-4000 1:1 if you have a good sample. AMD’s Robert Hallock provided those details on social media and we thought it might be useful to gather this information in a single post:ġ) Ryzen 5000 Series doesn’t need a power plan.
