Lately I've been trying to get my hands on a 5600x (no luck, unfortunately), and noticed that it seems like the general consensus is that my regular 3200mhz c16 Corsair Vengeance might not be up to par to get the best performance out of this cpu, but since my memory is B-die I should theoretically be able to get a mild tune on it with no issues. My question is, would I see more benefit from tightening the timings to c14 with Ryzen DRAM Calculator, and keeping it at 3200mhz, or shooting for 3600mhz c16? I want to be reasonably conservative with my tune because the absolute geniuses that designed my motherboard decided to put the cmos battery right underneath the gpu meaning I have to take out my card every time I do something that makes my system not boot. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don't know much about memory or how the timings work besides what the calculator tells me to put into the boxes.
