    I remember reading/watching that the channel between the B550 chipset and the CPU is still PCIe 3.0, so SSD speeds don't really realize the benefits of PCIe 4.0.

    The CPU has a direct connection to the PCIe x16 slot and the first M.2 SSD slot.  The chipset connection does not change this, only 2nd/3rd M.2 SSD slots are PCIe 3.0.  PCIe 4.0 while great for benchmarks, makes no difference in a majority of real world uses.  Pretty much all PCIe 4.0 SSDs can not sustain PCIe 4.0 speeds after their buffer area fills up, the flash memory is not fast enough.

    B550.  You can get a B550 board for $15 extra and it should have a longer useful life than the B450.

    That's why I'm really upgrading all of this. So will a AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor float my YouTube watching boat?

    I bought this "gaming" Dell Optiplex 990 mt off ebay for $299.99 🤢 it's ddr3. They got me. But I'm looking to upgrade to Ryzen now. I think the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor will wow me 😓

    No, 3200G is not really any faster than what you have.

     

    3300X will be coming in a few weeks.

     

    i5-2400 is not going to significantly limit gaming performance by itself.  How much RAM do you currently have?

    I had a 2400 system with a 470 and gaming performance was not limited by the CPU in most cases.  I did have 16gb of ram however.

    Whats the next step after a i5-2400 cpu? ryzen 3? ryzen 5 seems like quite a leap right now!

     

    3300X.  It is literally fast enough for a 2080 Ti and only costs ~$130.  Just be patient and wait for it to launch to retail.

     

    I would pair it with a ~$120 B550 motherboard.  Something like this...

    if need be. but really wasn't wanting to.

    The benchmarks I linked a few posts up are with a 2080 Ti.  There is at most a 5% or so difference from 3300X to 3900X.  3300X will serve you well, even if you decide to dump nearly a grand on a GPU.

     

    3400G is MUCH slower, do not get it.  You end up paying more for integrated graphics you will not use.

    You said the GPU would bottleneck the CPU in your first post. In this one, you are saying the CPU will bottleneck the CPU

    If you are such a phonatic about great gaming, I'd look at an rx 580 then. And a ryzen 5 3600. Does that fit in your budget?

     

    Nope

     

    GPU does, better GPU needs better CPU. 

    Where did what I said change?  Oh, it didnt.

    Yeah you can see for yourself in original screenshots on dram calc and Thaiphoon everything is inputted as it should be. Still not found an answer to this, really bloody annoying, hesitant replacing anything as I don't want to replace the RAM for it to be an issue with the motherboard and visa versa. It just makes no sense. ><

    I can almost assure you that its a timings related problem.  That CPU NB/SOC voltage is also low still.  0.975 is WAY low.

    I get that from friends on their first builds that go perfectly, I'm the only one that seems to get doa/faulty parts everytime. Yet I'm the one with the anti-static bracelet, clean wall power, and a wooden table to build on. 

     

    That's an impressive oc claim though! 

    Heh, I build PCs in the dumbest conditions possible... on the carpet, on a bed, etc.  Never killed anything with ESD.

     

    I have, at one point, had a PSU explode.  Put I was running a HD 2900 XT/Athlon 64 X2 on a dirt cheap 450w Logisys unit that I knew was terrible quality.

  9. A320+2700 = fail.

    Single channel ram = fail

     

    Do you have VSync on?  VSync without adpative sync monitor can only give you 15, 30, or 60 FPS on a 60hz monitor.  If it cant hold 60 FPS, it drops to 30 even if you can maintain say 50 FPS.  VSync + the other system build problems would make for a lot of bad performance.

    So shall I just leave XMP disabled and set my timings volts ect manually? Again I've tried this it boots fine, but still doesn't shift from 2400, it adjusts the timings ect, but doesntly actually adjust my speed. 

    It's only if I select DRAM frequency, set that to 3200 instead of auto, and subsequently set the FCLK to half (1600), this is when I can't boot. 

    If its still at 2400 with XMP on, XMP is broken for your modules.  And if the speed set by the board is wrong, the timings are also likely wrong.

     

    You will need to set every single timing by hand.  The Ryzen DRAM calc should get you 95% the way there, just fix its overly optimistic TRFC timings by using the values reported by Ryaen Master when the system is working properly at 2400.

    See attached, I set the voltages, set the XMP to 3200mhz, left everything else alone, boots fine without any errors, but nothing has actually changed when checking cpuz for instance. (I'm def saving and exiting, been tripple checking myself trying to work this out)

     

     

    The XMP profile likely just does not work on the board you are using, probably due to some calculation/table used to derive clock cycle timings from wall-clock (ns) timings throwing an error.  Generally this kind of thing doesnt get reported back to the user, the board just uses the fastest JDEC standard timings present in the SPD flash instead.
