Hey guys was hoping maybe someone has some recommendations for Ram. I currently have a pretty decent set but it’s a bit old and want to optimize my Ryzen 7 5800x. If you have any good ideas please let me know! Thank you!

3200 MHz is about as good as you can get. 3600 is ideal, but we are taking 2-3% performance bump as best… not worth the money, time, or waste created by replacing your RAM with anything else.

DDR4? bare naked samsung is always the best.

If you already have 3200, getting a 3600 is a waste of money.

You can probably go into the BIOS and apply a real mild overclock to bump it up from 3200 to 3600 likely without messing with timings or voltages unless you want to really squeeze every single bit of performance but for that level of overclocking you are best doing more research before hand.

"The Codex Electronica does not support this overclock."

This

 

But if you wanna really chase performance then check thaiphoon burner for your ic, 3600 is easy for most newer ics though you may be able to go abit higher like 3800 or even 4000 depending on if the fclk goes that high since unless you are running 4800+ or high enough freq that offsets fclk desync performance penalty then desyncing fclk = rip ram performance
