[SOLVED] I Need best RAM 3200Mhz with lowest latency, R5 3600

[mutliquick1]

Hello,

I want to upgrade my RAM. I have Corsair 3200Mhz RAM and it's good but after testing it with userbenchmark i noticed it has very high latency. So do you have any suggests to upgrade it to a lower latency RAM? And it should be 3200 cuz my MB Is B350 and can't excess 3200Mhz

u can check my RAM latency here:

Thanks!

What is your exact motherboard model and WHICH slots do you have the memory installed in?

Starting with the one closest to the CPU socket being #1 and the one next to the edge of the motherboard being #4, which slots are yours installed in?

Also, what is your CPU model and the exact model of the memory you currently have installed? You have to also keep in mind that userbenchmark is something of a joke as well. It's nowhere near accurate but it can sometimes tell you if something is grossly "off".

Check your mobo Qvl and see if this kit is listed.

Don't waste money chasing RAM speed for gaming on AMD or Intel

Revisiting the question that every gamer considers when building a new gaming system: does RAM speed matter?

Looks like maybe 5% more perf in certain games, zero in others. I'm basing that on the 2 kits that are 3600 Mhz. One with loose timings versus the other with tight timings. Ryzen 3000 and better also likes 3600 Mhz RAM. As you can tell by the first picture. 280 fps instead of 270 fps, is that worth paying 125 $ for?

Also could try Ryzen Dram Caculator

But test any changes you do to make sure it's stable.

RAM: Corsair CMU16GX4M2C3200C16R

MB: MSI B350 Gaming PLUS. It's quite old MB from 1st Ryzen Gen but I update it to latest bios driver

Also my ram in #2 and #4 slots. for some reason I can't use X-AMP when it's in 1 & 3 slots and can't boot my pc

16-18-18-36 isn't all that terrible, it's rather average for that type of kit so I don't think the timings are the problem.

If the memory is the #2 and #4 slots as I outlined them, then they are in the correct slots which is why XMP doesn't want to work in the other two slots. Those slots shouldn't be populated unless 2 and 4 are already populated as well, so you have it correctly installed.

You can certainly buy memory with tighter timings but it is certainly not going to bring you any gains that are worth the cost of an entirely new memory kit unless you have another machine you are planning to use the existing kit in anyhow. If not, I would save the money and spend it elsewhere, like maybe, on a good aftermarket cooler if you are running the stock cooler. Better cooling will generally allow your Ryzen 3600 to run at somewhat higher speed and retain it's boost profile longer which probably almost definitely gives you more of a performance gain than adding same speed memory with just slightly tighter timings. If you want some B-die CL14 memory you're going to pay through the nose for it and it still won't really be worth it for the gains you'll see. You might see gains on benchmarks but it won't net you anything noticeable in real world gaming or applications for the most part.
