    [SOLVED] Why can't I run my ram at max XMP speeds?

    I just picked out the cheapest set of 3600MHz RAM I could find, linked here: https://www.newegg.com/oloy-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821322?Description=oloy 16gb 3600&cm_re=oloy_16gb 3600--20-821-322--Product You said I might be able to get 3200MHz with a good set, and I'm impressed with...

    [SOLVED] Why can't I run my ram at max XMP speeds?

    This was super helpful, I'm running at 3200Mhz right now, still gonna do some benchmarks and such to see if it runs stable. But I still don't understand how I was able to run at 3600MHz for 2 days? The BIOS said it was, so I'm just really confused about that part.

    [SOLVED] Why can't I run my ram at max XMP speeds?

    I just built this PC a few days ago, I'm using a Ryzen 5 2600 along with 2 sticks of 3600Mhz DDR4 memory. The mobo is a Gigabyte b450 aorus elite. I just barely built this PC and after installing windows updates and such, I enable XMP memory, which boosted me up to 3600MHz. It ran completely...

    [SOLVED] For streaming, Ryzen 5 3600 or a Ryzen 3 3100 with a 1660 Super?

    I'm aware that the GTX 1660 Super has NVENC technology, so I'm wondering if streaming would be fine with a Ryzen 3 3100. I'm trying to save as much money as possible, so if it would work just the same as the 3600 then I'd like to use the 3100.

    [SOLVED] For streaming, should I pair a ryzen 5 3600 with a GTX 1660 or a ryzen 3 3100 with a GTX 1660 Ti?

    From what I know, streaming is CPU intensive, but I was told by a friend that the 1660 Ti has streaming capabilities built into it. Is it a better idea to go with the 3600 and plain 1660 or 3100 and 1660 Ti? I would swap the 3100 with a 3300x, but who knows when that will be back in stock at MSRP.
