We benchmarked an AMD R9 3900X Ryzen 3000-series CPU with various kits of memory from HyperX (Kingston), Crucial (Micron), GSkill, Corsair, and GeIL across two motherboards (the X570 Aorus Master and X570 Godlike). This matrix of results allows us to have a fuller picture of truly bad memory/board combinations for Ryzen 3000 and demonstrates results scaling from low frequencies to high. Critically, we also tuned fclock, uclock, mclock, and the ratios between them, as we went. Kits include 2400MHz, 3000MHz, 3200MHz, 3600MHz, 3866MHz, 4000MHz, and overclocking up to 4200MHz, along with primary, secondary, and tertiary timing adjustments as needed. For the most part, we tested with XMP, but further manual tuning was also done, along with software-assisted manual tuning from Ryzen Memory Calculator. Remember, buying the "best" RAM for Ryzen 3000 isn't good enough -- you also need to buy the right motherboard with the RAM. If the memory isn't on the motherboard's QVL, it may exhibit exceptionally poor performance.

Gamers Nexus love the content! Ordered a large mod mat a week ago, any word on when the new stock will be in? Keep up the great work!
When will Modmats be back in stock? Looks like you’re out as of 9/4/19 when I checked earlier... Also, first time builder here - can you recommend all necessary tool kits even at enthusiast level? Thanks in advance.
Are these recommended for a 3700 ryzen? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TC4TPCN/
Could you contrast this with overclocking RAM on Intel? From what I have heard, faster is better. But why is there less concern with Intel on matching the clock with the ram speed?
Are the only difference between the lpx and pro vengeance ddr4 kits just looks?
DESPERATELY NEED THIS FOR THE 5000 SERIES
THIS. but steve needs time to recharge battery
edit: he just posted it a few minutes ago.
Agreed. I'm keen to see this for 5000 series too.
That video you asked for is out already 😁👌🏼

"we did some manually overclocking, which we've got some experience with, not great at it but pretty good" says the guy that is more technical than 99.99% of youtube.
He is pretty right, their memory overclocking is fine for gaming but not heavier work loads.
Follow the rabbit hole my friend. Much more to learn is out there.
he just understands the trrue meaning of dunning kruger
Dunning-kreuger.
The more knowledge you have about a subject, the more gaps you notice in your knowledge and you feel like you know less. Then as you approach elite specialist in your career you approach "pretty good" to "master".
I suspect he is in the 99th percentile and then doesn't realize it.
My 3200 CL 16 Corsair's are RGB, so that gets me around double the FPS.
Yea but recently rgb has become outdated. Now you have to get gold plated to get around tripple fps.
Jaalan dont forget that crystals reflect light meaning atleast 4x more FPS
we have the same as yours duplicate RAM in two PCs, someday down the road it can go in one PC.
I was never much interested in RGB before , but it does look cute in a windowed case..
@@joefish6091 that comment was very neutral until you said RGB was "cute..".
Just because your inner child died in a dumpster fire, doesn't mean you need to patronize fun and colorful lights.
Yo, and i have rgb cpu cooler and i set it to be blue which means i have -10°C and +5 fps
Tip: sometimes the QVL for your motherboard wont have your ram on the list but if you go to the manufacturer site for your ram, the QVL for your ram will show that motherboard
Always cross reference with both pieces of hardware.
Didn't have much choices for 2x32 kits for qvl choices for x570 taichi. So went with gskill qvl that had the ram listed. F4-3200C16D-64GVK seems to work with x5950 with little difference if any compared to my 3600 gskill kit.
Steve is so detailed he’s teaching me things I didn’t realize I wanted to know until I know
Ikr I basically learned scientific analysis from this channel.
@@maxmustermann194 LOL
Yeah but he said the "F" word.
@@nicovildhjarta7402 When tech Jesus swears, you know it's serious.
Steve is not very good with memory. If you really want to learn something, go to Actually Hardcore Overclocking and watch Buildzoid walk you through all this. He is so good, Steve has him on this channel for motherboard break down reviews.
You know what would be cool after that? A memory overclock guide!
Frequency/Timing: what is the priority?
Voltage: what's safe and how much does it impact CPU temp?
Nick's Stuff for modern ram 1.35v is usually the maximum the memory controller and the ram can take.
@@ICCUWANSIUT Even if it's safe, the memory controller at 1.35V will generate heat *on the CPU* , which may impact overall performance
@@NicksStuff wrong
From what I know, raise the frequency to 3600, then lower the timings to as low as they go, with 1.4v being a "cap" for your voltage. Anymore than 3600 will cause a performance hit, unless you feel like raising the Infinity Fabric speed.
RadoMiami2600 oh hello there, my comment was funny looking back on it, didn’t realize that 1.5v was actually the ceiling apparently lol. That’s a good piece of advice though, I do have to warn against tinkering with the IF casually. It can cause a total system lockup, requiring a hard reset.
Ten minutes in, and I'm completely lost. I'll have to watch this a few times.
Most tech channels are this way. They blow through content expecting you know know. Few channels actually explain things well for us lay PC consumers.
Know know? Well they do summarise, missy people don't need all that detail.
TL;DR: GSkill 3600Mhz/CAS16 is a sweet deal out of the box in both performance and cost.
Panda - Is that an out-of-the-box recommendation, then? No clues (about overclocking or anything else) needed from the user?
@@bluesonicstreak7317 yes
it is good
Ok, so my take away here is that, 3200 C16 is around 100 CAD, 3200 C14 is 170 CAD, and 3600 C16 is around 180 CAD. Difference in performance between 3200 C16 and 3200 C14/3600 C16 is about 1-3% but for 70-80% more cost. The best value to performance goes to 3200 C16 by a long shot thank you, but Steve forgot to mention this.
Not entirely true, the cl14 en cl16 kits have B-die making them able to have very tight timings using dram calculator or doing it yourself. So performance would go up even more. You could compare i1t to the 3800mhz kit with the 1:1 ratio. So your looking at 10-15% performance for 70-80 bucks. Still not efficient but worth it imo.
@@Miggsval maybe you will reply.. im going to buy a b450 tomahawk max and a ryzen 5 3600 but the ram are the real pain to choose.. i find a kit of corsair Vengeance cl16 3200mhz xmp 2.0 xlp or something other strange name 8x2 for just 88 euro... (i don't care to min max the performance) but these will work woth this ryzen? i read a lot of different things and im really confused, some say it will work some say i will get crashes etc.. don't know what to do now.. and i don't want to buy expansive kits either..
@@cristianfatu2088 good choice of motherboard and cpu. In terms of memory in my country 3200 cl16 is the same price as 3600 cl18. Its better to get 3600 cl18 because 3600 ram will make it so you ryzen 5 3600 infinity fabric runs at 1800 mhz which is basically the highest it can go. If you want to best you can either go 3200 cl14 of 3600 cl 16 b-die memory but since you dont wanne spend a lot on ram you can go with either 3200cl16 of 3600cl18! Both wil work fine on xmp settings pared with a ryzen 5 3600
@@Miggsval so at the end this combination will work without any issue at all? Here were i live 3600 mhz rams ar just double in price.. so 150 to 170 euro.. cl 14 or 16 alike.. anyway thanks for your reply, i don't expect it that fast or never 😂
@@cristianfatu2088 yes your combination wil work fine :)
What happened when RAM was just RAM. Started by a few Ryzen 3000 CPUs and now I'm deep in this shit.
I think it's DDR related. 20ish years ago it wasn't just speed you had latency to deal with too. Ironically the latency we get these days is HORRIBLE compared to what we got back then, but the higher speeds more than make up for it. I think prior to DDR it was really just a question of ram speed and it had to match your system bus. Like 100mhz or 133mhz. lol
Deym were the same bro started when I build my damn pc lol haha 3600 much
@@arizakawamiyamoto297 3600 seems to be the sweet spot.
always has been..
This isn't anything new lol, even back in the early DDR3 days this was important for overclock.
I just installed RAM and enabled XMP, didn't care for timings or anything lol.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
I guess this is the "new segment of hardware" you were talking about? :P
Working on my second build but still very new to this all. I have watched hours and hours of videos researching parts and trying to learn. You are the only person who mentioned to check the QVL based on the motherboard! Thank you!

I was just searching tru RUclips about overclocking my G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3600mhz 18-22-22-42.. bammm notification GamesNexus make video Memory benchmarking 😂
You don't want to overclock in your case. You want to adjust the various timings but leave it at 3600MHz. If you really drilled down into the nitty-gritty then you can mess with FCLOCK etc (see Buildzoid videos) but when 3600MHz already I'd just concentrate on getting to something like 16-18-18-38 or similar.
Haha yeah i was literally typing on youtube search bar.. bammm GamerNexus notification alert 😂
I thought.. This one hell of a data telemetry sh1t going on here! 😂
I will probably try to tick infinity fabric tat bit faster and get to 3733, but you stand correct in most situation.
@@photonboy999 @Verpal Thanks to both of you ill try both your recommendation =)
The absolute max you want to try is 3800Mhz memory and 1900FCLK. If thats not stable go down to 3733/1867 or even 3600/1800.
I love how your video description is actually a real detailed description!
This is by far my favourite youtube channel to get detailed, technical reviews of everything. Damn is he ever good
Thanks, I know this vid took a long time to put together.
0:46 I don't think I've ever spent more time looking at a sponsor advert. Very effective! Also, nice cats. Now we know who the real CEO is! :)
I'm so glad I picked the 3600 GSkill Z Neo kit when building my system.
Great video.
i glad i got my 3200 cl 14-14-14-28 kit back wen i made my zen 1 system quite expansive ( back in the memory factory burn debacle )
But still gonne be amazing in my 5600x system
Wow, I wasn't expecting SUCH drastic differences with the ram speed and timings... Thanks again for this great video.
oldish comment but to be fair this is a cpu thats well over $1000 and a gpu thats well over $1000 on a very expensive motherboard and so on, there's a lot more potential than your average system.
@@xXJeReMiAhXx99 Errr what? Even if you're talking about a 3900X, it has never been $1000 at any point in time...Unless you're not talking about USD?
@@Bourinos02 err I don't remember what I was looking at, perhaps it was another video with intels 1000-1200 usd cpus and i got it mixed up, or one of those listings on ebay that had ryzen 9s n threadrippers in the 800s+ had me thinking it was a 1k cpu.
haha I don't know, that's funny though, it's clearly a $500 cpu.
anyways the intention was to point out it was at the very top and had more potential than perhaps other common setups have.
Thank you Steve this video is so solid. Super helpful content.

i feel good for splurging on a gskill 3200c14 kit back when 1st gen ryzen launched.
Great video, great explanation, thank you for your work
I have a tridentz kit on my 9900k, and just changing those 2 timings yielded 2-3% increase across the board, didn't hurt stability one bit tFAW from 56 to 24 and tRFC from 520 to 280....didn't bother with secondary timing before seeing this video, thanks so much
shopping for ram was just about giving me a headache, but this helped, thanks

Thanks for this in depth test & comparison!
Thank you for putting in all the work! Guess I'll roll with my Trident Z 3200 CL14 a little longer.
I got two sticks when Ryzen 1 came out, because B die, 1k series getting it to 3200 was a struggle, 2k series it was happy at 4000, 3k series 3600 cl15 on dram calc performance settings... this has turned into such a lottery; CPU x SOC x MB x RAM - all the stars have to align. Still, it lasted me ~ 4 years, so can't really complain.

Ever since this pandemic occurred I've been stuck at the house and I started from not knowing what ANY of the main components do to now I'm learning about overclocking. I've literally been spending like 6-12 hours a day watching videos about computer tech for the past 2 weeks and it is awesome. I've now decided to build my own PC once prices normalize and deals become more common. I'm building an all AMD pc. It will probably be around 1500$.

Thanks. I really needed this video!
This eases my mind slightly about my RAM purchase for a new ryzen build. I knew they were kinda picky with RAM so it's good to know i got something that wasn't bottom of the barrel.
It'd be interesting to see Ryzen 3900x vs Intel 9900K with tuned memory timings on both, seeing such massive improvements on Ryzen.
Thank you for saying the acronyms and then what they mean for us just getting into this stuff
AWESOME benchmarks !!! Thanks a lot !
Hope other people have better luck with the DRAM Calculator than I did. Its recommended _safe_ settings for my kit nearly bricked my Windows install with how bad the errors were. And yes, I changed one thing at a time like you should.
XMP for me for the foreseeable future.
Honestly I'm building my first system and as soon as I started diving into memory tuning I started having suicidal thoughts. Xmp for me, at least until i have more experience under my belt
I'm actually surprised how well the 3200c16 Corsair Vengeance does considering it's a 90 euro set. Doesn't seems worth paying 100 euro+ more to get a 3600c16 set for like 3% better performance. Especially if you have a Ryzen 3600/3600x/3700x and are on a bit of a budget.
Great job Steve. Thanks for this very informative video.
LOVE the MASSIVE N2 Tank next to you!
Thank you for the detailed test. But I was hoping for more affordable and reasonable ram kits like the G.SKill Ripjaws V 16GB Black 3200MHz (F4-3200C16D-32GVK).
Just just bought those. For 60$. Hope they work well.
Great work. I do wish you had included a Ballistix Sport LT 3200c16 "AES" model, as it's such a great value option that still responds exceptionally well to tuning. Would be interesting to contrast it against high-dollar B-die kits!
Just OC my ram to recommended settings using the Ryzen dram calculator. I'm using Trident RGB 3600. No errors and working well. I'm sure I could push things a bit more but I prefer reliability. Will test thoroughly tomorrow. It's 11pm right now. Thanks for the how to.
Very timely video, thanks
Dang, would've loved to see a 3600 CL18 kit in the charts.
Customizing Micron-E-Die with the Ryzen Memory Calculator is what I'd suggest to the price conscious overclocker. At least I am very happy with it considering the price of the alternatives.
Yeah, I don't know why he tested a Ballistix Elite with such a low frequency. There's an Elite 3600 kit available which would have made a lot more sense for the video as I think that's the one consumers would be looking at for Ryzen.

Great video, think this will save me a headache when tuning my RAM.
I'm curious, why do you focus on AVG FPS?
1% Lows and even 0.1%, as a gamer, interest me more. Because generally, lower AVG but higher lows = a smoother experience.
Thanks for the great amount of detail, I know it's a lot of work, but these videos are pretty useless without that detail. Excellent job.

Thanks. Still trying to decide on getting an X570 Taichi with T-Top and running 4 sticks vs just 2 in daisy on an MSI board. 3600 is a solid spot
I have an x570 Taichi, im running two sticks at the moment but apparently on this board max speeds with 4 DIMMs is 2933 although people do overclock it higher I think with good kits Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think for 3600 t-top or daisy both just fine, over than 3800 may become a problem for daisy but mb's bios can make a different
Don't get the Taichi. The software is subpar for light effects and mine had weird quirky and janky features. Like forgetting my over clock setting and the wifi shutting off for no reason. It's solid on paper but iffy for long term hard use. Avoid it since none of my Asus or MSI ever gave me problems.

Such detail. Thank you.
I would love seeing which timings and subtimings have the most performance impact. A comparison with the 9900K on gaming using the fastest memory configuration for intel and amd could also be really interesting.
Was going to speed up playback speed like I usually do with RUclips tutorials. No point here.
Incredible job guys.
Brilliant work
The ram I bought with my board when Ryzen first came out I believe was degraded from the get go. If I run it on its XMP profile then it causes the system to crash and Prime 95 fails its tests as well. If I run it at whatever the board defaults the memory to then it runs fine and Prime 95 passes with flying colors.
I had this problem but it was because of the Gigabyte easy tune software. I guess it was fighting with ryzen master and the motherboard settings not really sure but once I Uninstalled it I never blue screened since and that's even messing with memory timings and running plenty of prime95
You might want to confirm that you have the ram installed in the correct ram slots. A2 & B2 for example. Check your motherboard manual to be sure.
Are you using a gigabyte motherboard by any chance with easytune installed? If so uninstall it it caused mine to crash during prime95 too
What we need is a part-combo recommendation so when we go to buy stuff we know what its capable of and what to expect.
does the G.Skill neo play well with the MSI pro carbon? .etc.
G.Skill B-die RAM plays very well with that mobo. I have a 450 Tomahawk which is a Pro Carbon without the wifi, bluetooth, and -1 M.2 slot. The Hynix Neo work fine too but overclocking Hynix is a massive pain in the ass.
Just avoid the Hynix based RAM and you're good. Or for budget go for Ballistix Sport 3200 with revision E-die, that will easily OC to 3600cl16.
Which gaming pro carbon? B450? This one is NOT good for memory OC at all right now, since you can’t adjust subtimings in the bios currently
If you buy micron e die, go with 3000 CL15 rather than 3200 CL16. The 3000mhz kit should have better binning (because the overall latency is lower due to the timing)
999k Subs! You're almost there!
Just ordered that 32gb 3600mhz cl16 Neo kit on sale for $200Cad.. Even though I don't have a new pc to put it in yet. Thanks GN!
reminds me of how back then overclocking the FSB was better than overclocking the chip on its own.
Simpler times :) quad-pumped, memcon dependent on board and chipset not cpu, pairing a Pentium 4 with ddr3 :D
@Ayu Natsume
yeah but a pentium 4 is crap paired with anything.Overclocking anything else but the cpu would yeild more performance and less heat that a prescott....
Still i rather have a althon 64 than a p4
I was using a Pentium 4 as a wayback to how decoupled the processor was to RAM and so on and with LGA775 you could go as high as Core 2 Quad. E.g. OCing a Q6600 is easier with DDR3 because it can go higher freq to match ratios instead of hoping your DDR2 can go 1066 or 1333 even with loose timings. Back then too I didnt need to worry about Hypertransport or ratios and uncore and just OCed my Pentium 3 266 to 533 with just doubling the FSB -- up until Core 2 Duos and Quads of even the lowest models (like the E2140 starting at~1.6GHz) achieving at least 3GHz so long as you set PCIE, SATA, and RAM freq to fixed. Also since there's no IMC in the CPU itself, overvolting ram doesnt cook the CPU, just the chipset.
Finally buys RAM, next day GN breaks me off.... oof

Actually made me extremely happy with Ryzen 3 despite having the apparently common issue of not getting correct CPU boost clocks(I get 4125Mhz on my R5 3600)
Awesome video, Steve! I'm running 16GB of Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3466 C16 on the same GB board with a Ryzen 3600. I bumped the voltage from 1.35 to 1.40 and achieved a 1900 fclock while running slightly tighter timings: 16-16-16-32. I gained over 100 points on Time Spy and Aida64 is showing a 65.6 NS latency. I tried for a 2000 fclock but it failed to boot.
One thing that no one commented is how these RAM timings and speed changes the way Intel and AMD CPUs are being compared. With these changes, the Ryzen appears to land directly in Intel territory, or beyond. Incredible stuff.
Intel is also doing great on 4133MHz Cl17, 3rd gens are doing great in 1:1:1 divider on 3800MHz Cl16 or lower with tight subtimings, but not all ryzens can do 1900MHz on infinity fabric.
Awwww yeeeeah, my Trident Z boys where you at?
here lol silver!
Great content! Idk.. maybe a follow up video in single rank vs dual rank? Lots of Reddit users said dual rank performs better despite single rank being generally better than dual
