Hello all, Just upgraded from a Ryzen 1600 to a 3600, and I plan to overclock my RAM, but more specifically tighten the timings (since Linus's team have shown this is slightly more important than outright speed). I have the same Teamgroup Vulcan 4x4GB 3000MHz kit that I used with my 1600. The default timings are CL16-16-16-36. I've used the Ryzen DRAM Calculator, and plugged in values received from ThaiPhoon. However, my memory uses the Samung 'S' die, and I can't find any information about this on the internet. If I select 'Samsung S Die' in the calculator, it simply says this feature is coming soon. If I select 'Samsung D/E Die' or 'Samsung B die' would I be able to use these as a guide to overclocking? I've already tried this (using 'safe' values), and found my system very unstable, if at all bootable. I don't know if this is because these timings simply aren't suitable for my 'S die' memory, or if I just need to fiddle around more to stabilise it. Is anyone able to advise? Thanks, Callum

Yeah, I suspected this bottleneck site was a little BS.I may be shooting a little high for 144fps in ultra, but I'd be happy so long as nothing is being limited by other hardware in my PC. Thanks again guys.

Hello, I'm currently using 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB and Ryzen 5 1600 in my PC, and I'm looking to upgrade my GPU. I decided that I'll buy an RTX 2060, as it seems to be fairly good value (currently £300 in the UK). However, I checked out one of these bottleneck sites and it claims that my CPU may limit the potential of the 2060. I know these sites can be horrendously inaccurate, but is there any truth in this? Personally, I don't think so, but I'd like to check. I may also consider upgrading to a Ryzen 5 3600, but only if absolutely necessary. All I'm looking for at this time is a solid 144fps in 1080p games at high or ultra settings. Is this reasonable? Cheers.
