I work with @savagepain on properly timing her RAM all morning and Linus posts this video today?

@LinusTech What sorcery is this?!

Ok, but seriously, I accidentally got her RAM that wasn't fully compatible with Threadripper on Corsair's site, but ASUS had reccomend timings that were actually quite a bit lower then what corsair recommends. 

So instead of 3000mhz at 16-20-20-38, we have 2933mhz at 15-17-17-35.  I would say that the tighter timings make up for not being able to run the RAM at the specified speed.
