    TTwerty got a reaction from Sorenson in Powerline slower than wifi (PCIe wifi recommendations?)   
    Coax is very limited in my house I'm afraid (only 2 outlets in the house, one close to router, one downstairs but not near my setup) but it is indeed something I can look at when I ever decide to move my setup closer to the outlets. 
    Very informative as I didn't even know that was possible.

    I've used a couple power line connectors and they have always been unreliable for me in my house. If you need wired connection and have coax run through your house, I recommend Moca Adapters. I get rock solid near gigabit speed to my downstairs coax outlet through it.

    that seems fine, those speeds are epxected for power line. It does still hae some advantages over wifi, but wifi is probably the better overall solution here.
     
    PCIe wifi cards are the way to go. Id get something based on the intel ax200.

    it seems to have a shadow, like what Windows puts around an application window.. I suspect that's a 1x1 pixel window on the screen for some reason... Maybe a "background" application that was meant to be positioned off screen where you wouldn't notice it.

    Aside from looking through Task Manager, I don't know of a way to figure that out without additional software.  Many other applications will show you a list of all the active windows on your screen, usually streaming software like OBS.  There's third party applications like WinLister that can do it too, but as I've never used it, I can't officially recommend it. (Make sure your Anti-virus is up to date before downloading any third party software)

    What is the max temp? 92c max? My 3700x on 280mm aio never reach 92c while gaming.
     
    Disable pbo
     
    update latest bios and chipset driver from Amd. Use Amd Ryzen balance power plan
     
    check the cooler and make sure it is seated properly
     
    Increase the cpu fan speed
     
    how do you apply thermal paste on ryzen 3600x? Center peas no longer works on Ryzen 3000 because Ryzen 3000 die is no longer in the center like Intel cpu and Ryzen 1000 and 2000.
     
    What is the ambient?
     
    Apply offset voltage -.05. You might loose a little bit performance here.

    Just a very good(and cheap) 120mm cooler.
     
    You also find Noctua U12A in the tier 3 Dual-Tower category. While it is actually a 120mm single tower cooler. However it performances so well like many 140mm dual tower coolers.

    TTwerty reacted to Mira Yurizaki in Confusion about tierlist   
    All of these questions can be answered in the following way: it depends. When it comes to cooling, there's typically two primary concerns: how hot the processor is when its doing something and how loud you can tolerate it to be. A 140mm cooler with a fan that's moving slow all the time may be great for low noise, but not so much for temperature compared to a 120mm cooler that's allowed to ramp up the fan speed. And if the processor is low power to begin with, a dual tower cooler doesn't have a lot of value over a 140mm or even a 120mm cooler, even if it technically keeps the processor cooler.
     
    On another note, thermal throttling is when the processor is unable to keep base clock speeds when doing a workload. Even the stock cooler that AMD's processors come with can do this. If you want the processor to maintain boost clock speeds for extended periods of time, then investing in a better cooler will certainly help.
     
    So with that out of the way, what should you get? Unfortunately the old metric of using TDP doesn't work anymore since Intel and AMD measure it differently and coolers likely default to Intel if they don't specifically say. But for a lower power part like the Ryzen 5 3600, any decent 120mm cooler will do. Heck I'd wager a 90-92mm cooler is fine too, but I advise against it due to the scarcity of finding decent fans in that size.

    Ryzen's mutlicore performance advantage also helps with frame rate stability. As for exploits running trains on Intel CPUs over and over again, "fixes" dropping performance bit by bit...

    hard to pick against the Ryzen 5 3600. Great 144Hz performance, much cheaper motherboards for overclocking and feature set, better memory speed support, and you don't get locked into a CPU generation when you buy it.

    Samsung B-Die is no longer in production. 
    It's pretty good, usually kits that are 3200MHz CL14 are B-Die but there is also Micron E-Die which is as good if not better. 
     
    Most Crucial Ballistix kits 3200MHz CL16 are E-Die. I have 4x16GB and I was able to easily OC it to 3733MHz CL16.

    Please don't misinform the OP. It is incorrect.
     
    3rd gen works with pretty much anything. Even 1st gen come a long way since initial launch problems. 2nd Gen was basically hassle free with memory, especially with more recent bios-es.
     
    3200Mhz Cl16... will be sufficient, gains above that are marginal. For the OP:
    Buddy of mine runs 3200Mhz Crucial Ballistix Sport kit on 3600mhz cl16... with 2nd gen ryzen.. Strongly recommended, micron-E die RAMS.

    From a quick vid of testing in GTA V that I've seen, it jumped 15-30fps from... I think it was 2666Mhz to 3200Mhz RAM. IDK what timings they were though. Jayztwocents has just been doing testing on speeds though:
     
    I believe this was single channel vs dual channel:
     
     
    Haven't watched this yet but I assume he'll run the same timings and only change clocks?

    TTwerty reacted to Zando_ in Ryzen 5 3600 RAM question   
    Just want the CL as low as possible, but the ratio of clocks to CL matters. 3000Mhz CL15 is the same effective speed as 3200Mhz CL16 IIRC. Should be able to google the speed/timings vs each other and see what the actual effective speed is (I forget the math). Otherwise just get the Ripjaws V because that's good RAM and the cheapest kit.

    The higher clock speed RAM will have more memory bandwidth. As for timings:
     
    2 / (3000 MHz) x 15 = 10 nanoseconds
    2 / (3200 MHz) x 16 = 10 nanoseconds
    2 / (3600 MHz) x 18 = 10 nanoseconds
     
    They have identical latencies (lower is better).

    What? You can run 2133Mhz RAM with Ryzen without issue. I ran 3000Mhz with my 2700X (sometimes manually set to 3200Mhz, often just at the stock 3000Mhz). 
     
    The picky about RAM thing was an issue with Zen (1000 series Ryzen, 2000G series APUs) arch chips, Zen+ and Zen 2 have fixed that. 
     
    RAM speed matters for Ryzen's infinity fabric, that's why you want faster RAM. 2933MHz CL14 or Cl15 for Zen, 3200Mhz CL14 or CL16 for Zen+, and 3600Mhz CL16 for Zen 2 are all the best bang for the buck RAM speeds. Aka the fastest you can go without severe diminishing returns, it's the sweet spot. Given current RAM pricing you may as well go with 3600Mhz CL16 (there's a 2x8Gb kit of that for only $78 or so right now, G.Skill Ripjaws V which is good stuff). 

    Yet again just actually look into something before speaking authoritatively on the subject. 
     
    B-Die was important for Zen, it was very picky. Most kits would only run up to 2933Mhz, B-Die was your best chance to push over that (and gain a bit of IPC and thus better single core performance). As stated above, Zen+ fixed that (IIRC it didn't play too nice with stuff much higher than 3200-3400 or so though) and Zen 2 further increased compatibility with higher clocked RAM (3400Mhz and above). If your kit is B-Die then nice - it's very good RAM - but it's not a necessity.
