So, I did some investigating and found that AMD has a DRAM oc setting of its own. I suspect that Ryzen Master changes that particular setting because when I changed this setting from 2133 to 3200, it suddenly worked! System wasn‘t stable though, so I reset that setting to Auto. Had a few bootloops after that, after which I posted directly into the BIOS screen telling me it had been reset. I then activated XMP, and now it works! So now I finally got rid of Ryzen Master interfering with that! System is still unstable though. Any steps you could recommend?

So, I recently noticed that my fancy 3200 MHz CL16 RAM doesn´t work at the advertised speeds unless I OC´d it. Easy, I thought to myself, but I couldn´t have been more wrong. A bit of backstory here, I read ages ago that RAM speeds and the Infinity Fabric of my Ryzen 5 3600 should run at a a factor of 2:1 to each other. When I stress tested my CPU in Ryzen Master today, I noticed a discrepancy that the infinity fabric apparently ran at 1200 MHz, whereas the memory ran at 1067 MHz. Quick check into the Task-Manager, yep, Memory speed is at 2133 MHz, exactly twice the speed Ryzen-Master says it is. Weird, but whatever. I quickly changed the setting for the Infinity Fabric down to match my RAM´s 1067 MHz, quickly stress-test it, it works flawlessly. I then want to get to the advertised RAM speeds, I mean I paid for those! Quickly put RAm and Infinity Fabric speed to 1600 MHz in Ryzen Master, a quick restart later, and it apparently works, Task-Manager tells me RAM is working at 3200 Mhz. But then the stress-test fails. Apparently I fucked up, so I changed it back to 1067 Mhz, everything´s fine again. But I want those sweet 3200 MHz. I now went into the BIOS and wanted to apply the XMP settings to the memory. Done, restart, quick stress-test in Ryzen Master. In the middle of the test I notice Ryzen Master says RAM speeds are at 1067 MHz? Double check in the Task-Manager, yep, memory is at 2133MHz. Anyone can help me out? My configuration is as follows: Ryzen 5 3600 Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite MSI RTX 2060 Ventus OC Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 XMP

Updating Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450 Bios
Maetharin replied to Maetharin's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Then why do only the BIOSes F40, F41, F42f and F50 have the notes whereas F51 does not? I´m also a bit confused where you inferred a generally applicable rule that Gigabyte MoBos had to always be updated one at a time from these notes? Or is this something Gigabyte are known for? -
Hey guys, I´m currently on BIOS F40 on my Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450. I´ve read that a lot of the issues I´m currently having with my Ryzen 5 3600 CPU would be solved by updating my BIOS to the newest one. On Gigabyte´s website I´ve found that there´ve been a lot of updates, with the current version being F51. Versions F41, F42f and F50 all have the additional info attached: Which does say This begets several questions: Since F51 doesn't say so, do I still have to follow the steps outlined in F40? Or am I correct in assuming that I don´t? Should I update version by version, or can I directly go to F51? Generally, are there any other steps I need to follow aside from those outlined in most google search results? Thx a lot in advance

As per title. I want to specifically find out which of the two is bottlenecking the other in specific, repeatable situations in certain games. I already know about the option to show the general frametime graph, but I can only find general GPU and CPU utilisation. Both of which are useless if they´re both well below 70% utilisation and I still hit 50 fps in a game which I usually run at over 100 fps. So, anyone know how to help me? Any other programs I could use?

Do you guys know whether there is an extension in Chrome which orders tabs by URLs and then puts all of them into dropdown menus? To make this more clear, I´m looking for a way to have all my open tabs with the same URL, i.e. bbc.com or reddit.com, displayed as one tab, which after I click on becomes a drop down menu displaying all open tabs with this URL. If there is no extension like this, how much work would it be to create one? How would one go about creating one?

Best B450 for Ryzen 5 3600
Maetharin replied to Samay Kundu's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
According to this list, the Ryzen 5 3600 is in this tier. -
I am trying to get a relatively cheap set of 2x8 DDR4 RAM memory for my system in combination with a RTX 2060 and Ryzen 5 3600.The system will be mostly for gaming. What kinda influence do the various factors like CL-Speed and Clock speed have on max fps, avg fps, 1% low fps? Also, does it matter which manufacturer the memory is from? Thanks in advance

Well, I do not plan on upgrading my CPU any more for quite some time, and since the next generation of AMD chips is going to be incompatible with AM4 anyways I don´t really need a better Mainboard. I just ordered a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite with pre-installed BIOS update, the Ryzen 5 3600 and the Scythe Mugen 5 [Rev. B] for 340,26 €, pretty much the cheapest I am going to get these in Europe.

Hi guys, I hope I´m not bothering you with yet another Ryzen 3600 thread. I´m looking to upgrade my PC since my original CPU died and I wanted to get the last bit of performance out of my RTX 2060. Now I´m looking at a myriad of motherboards and have no idea whether I really need something as expensive as an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, or if a cheaper one will suffice if I wanted to do no manual overclocking or anything. I´m planning on building the following PC: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 MB: ? GPU: Geforce RTX 2060 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-3200 CL16 Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5 [Rev. B] Would appreciate any help you could provide.
