    MiiaBestLamia reacted to SpaceGhostC2C in Help RAM Dual channel or Quad Channel KITS   
    ... and that's enough
     
    @KingSaber, the CPU+motherboard you are planning to use support Dual Channel RAM only. That means that you can have 1 dimm per channel (using two slots) or 2 dimms per channel (using 4 slots), but it will always be Dual Channel anyway. Bear in mind, CPU+motherboard (typically, both support the same) is the only determinant of how many channels you can use.
    Of course, if you use only 1 dimm, it will run in single channel mode.
     
    So, what about these "dual channel" and "quad channel" RAM kits? It's marketing. You can always put 4 identical sticks in a quad-channel motherboard, and it will run in quad-channel mode, regardless of where they come from. In a dual-channel motherboard, you can use 2, or in your case up to 4, identical sticks, and have them run in dual channel mode, regardless of how you bought them. In fact, you can use non-identical sticks in many configurations and still have them run in dual channel mode, but you have to be more careful with the details n those cases.
     
    The only thing these kits do is to tell you that these sticks have been tested to run, all of them together, at the advertised frequency and timings, in some test PC. It's not even a guarantee that they will work at those settings in your PC. But theoretically there could be tiny differences between sticks that make some of them more similar than others and better suited to reach the advertised OC together. Mostly, it doesn't matter.
     
    In the case you are considering, that is, buying RAM sticks of the same advertised specs, just bundled in different kits, it will all be the same. Just bear in mind that it will be easier to get your RAM to run at the advertised speed stably with fewer dimms per channel. Hence, at the margin, 2x8 is a better way to obtain 16GB than 4x4. But, again, 4x4 will also mostly be fine.

    MiiaBestLamia reacted to HardStroke in Looking for a good GPU to pair with my ryzen   
    if your current gpu works, wait.
    i would suggest a second hand 1080/1080 ti but since you said you want to upgrade to amd's new line i would suggest you wait and get a 3070 or a 3080 based on price.
    if you'll find a good deal on a 2080/2080s/2080 ti especially after the 3000 series launch, go for it. (i mean a really good deal for really cheap since they are discontinued, im sure retailers would drop the prices to get rid of old stocks like the lower end 2 fans versions)

    Yea same with going from a 3000 to a 3200. 
    Not Worth the upgrade unless you need it really. Or just get the same exact kit that you currently have and same some money.

    don't worry about the QVL list, worst case scenario you'll have to do some tinkering but that's it. 
    as for the kit, this kit is mediocre and does nothing special. if you are dead  set on it, getting a full 32 gig kit will probably be better. 
    also preferably look at a 3200 cl16-16-16 kit as that's usually b die, or a 3600 cl16 kit. 
    but quick question. do you already have this board and cpu?

    MiiaBestLamia reacted to svmlegacy in Ryzen 7 3700X Poor performance due to RAM?   
    This ^^^. I'd really suspect it is a thermal or PPT limit holding back the turbo, as the higher fabric clock does tend to use more power (thus limiting a power limited chip more) I'm not sure what the Ryzen Master autoOC is like for Zen2, but it may have lifted some of these limits for you. IMHO you shouldn't need to OC to hit average performance, but raising power limits (with a good mobo) is pretty typical.

    MiiaBestLamia got a reaction from kamiraasu in Ryzen 7 3700X Poor performance due to RAM?   
    Okay, after mucking around in the BIOS settings and nothing changing, i tried out the AMD Ryzen Master app, using Auto Overlocking made my clock speed go up to an average of 4.2, maximum 4.35, which I'm a-okay with. Windows strangely reports that my clock speed is always 3.2 now, though that's definitely wrong, especially since Ryzen Master and HWMonitor report the same speeds, and the rating has gone up as well.
    Thanks for the help!

    Might be that your ryzen sees that
    bench too puny to give it more juice :]

    EDIT:
    Anyway, i think your system is looking healthy, just not boosting for the bench for reason x.

    MiiaBestLamia reacted to kamiraasu in Ryzen 7 3700X Poor performance due to RAM?   
    I see you have difference how much Ryzen 7 3700X is boosting.
    Earlier bench said 3.9ghz and later one 3.8ghz.

    Ryzen 7 3700X can boost to 4.4ghz in the best scenario.
    To achieve that, or something closer to that direction, it might need third party cooler.

    The hotter it gets the less it boosts.

    DDR stands for (Double Data Rate)
    So 3000mhz = 1500mhz

    3000mhz cl16 is still fine for Rey zen, you should see max a 5-10fps increase. If you do want, you can manually oc it using thaiphoon and dram calculator.

    MiiaBestLamia reacted to svmlegacy in Ryzen 7 3700X Poor performance due to RAM?   
    It's likely due to the DIMM's running at 2133 MT/s.You'll want to turn on XMP/DOCP and set to 3000 MT/s, rather than trying to upgrade.

    I had a Riotoro CR480 for a year or so and liked the case a lot. Better build quality than I was expecting at its price point, lots of room to work in and easy peasy cable management. I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat.

    Again, that's just frequency difference you can more than offset with a 100MHz offset in the core clock. I'd get the cheaper one.

    MiiaBestLamia reacted to Jurrunio in Best RTX2060 model   
    yes, it's $10 difference for exactly the same hardware and power limits. clock speed difference don't mean anything to me since I tune my card's frequency and voltage regardless.
     
    If they cost the same, I'd buy the standard XC because the box looks better without the "Black" word on it.

    When it come to RTX 2060, I personally would get either the triple fans of Gigabyte Windforce or EVGA XC Ultra. Those 2 are the best value among other RTX 2060

    MiiaBestLamia reacted to Zeitec in Best GPU's for ~400$   
    No that's an A320 board. It's kind of a piece of garbage. It won't OC your CPU and I doubt it'll have the VRMs to support an upgrade to 12 core Zen 2 CPUs in a few years if you find yourself wanting the extra clockspeed and cores. Seriously. Spend the extra $50 now so you can upgrade your CPU for cheap later instead of buying a whole new PC.

    In that case (noise less important) id recommend going for a cheaper model.
     
    Theres (where i live) 3strix versions, no oc "strix" , a "strix a6" (advanced) with a bit oc and "strix o6" (oc version, higher oc). I went with the o6 beacuse price was like 12e apart. I wouldnt be surprised though that in real world they perform the same as nvidias boost thing makes mine run at 2ghz even without tampering default settings. And the oc part really only brings a few percent max i think.
     
    But withou the "being the quietest" element id go for cheaper one. I do recall big differences in vrm setups and recommend image searcg for "2060 vrm" and "2060 pcb" (the latter one mostly for finding more results to see the vrms) so you get a feel of overall quality for the dollar, regarless of brand. More vrm + at least two fans will help with thermals and realiability.

    Mine came 2ghz out of the box, just like the reviews. That said, i also feel performance wise theres no explicit reason to go for a strix version really; and as outline in my reply above i agree with that vid conclusion as nvidias boost tech (of which i keep forgetting the name) seems to get the best out of any chip sample regardless of "oc" settings (really, the settings in gputweak litterally have no (positive) effect with my sample at least).

    factory OC on Turing seems to do nothing, Tech Deals @Youtube did a video on 6 RTX 2060s including the EVGA single fan 3 slot, the Gigabyte 3 fan 2 slot and Asus Strix. At stock they all run around 1850MHz (aside from a single fan dual slot mITX card) even though Strix has a much more aggressive factory overclock. In overclocking results Strix does get 1 extra fps than the Gigabyte 3 fan, but at that point it's more about the silicon lottery and not the card you're actually using.
