I built this computer about a year ago an it's performance hasn't been the greatest. One thing that I've noticed is that doing different benchmarks the RAM always seems to be under preforming. UserBenchMark for one shows the computer under performing. Ran the bench mark a few times and the numbers keep fluctuating. Been thinking of replacing the RAM with another kit. But would prefer to not spend the money if there's an underlying problem with the system that can be fixed instead.
Here are the latest results: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/52034726
System specs are there. But it's a Ryzen 5 5600X on a ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi). RTX 3070. 128GB DDR4 3200 cl16 ram. (16-20-20-40) (tRC 74, tRFC 880)
Ram is: RAM Patriot Viper Steel Series. Models PVS464G320C6K and PVS432G320C6 (Same specs for speed and timing.)
I had to go through 8 sticks of this RAM to get 4 functional. 4 were DOA. It took reseating the sticks many times to not get errors running memtest.
AIDA64 lists the latency at 93 ns for my config. The comparison table shows 3 other DDR4 3200 kits. A Ryzen 9 3950X @ 76 ns, Ryzen 9 5900X @ 65.8 ns, and a I9 11900K @ 59.2 ns. Am I correct in concluding that 93 ns is rather poor performance in this case?
I was looking at 2 kits as possible replacements. Both G. Skill Ripjaws V Series. Either:
64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 3600 14-14-14-34 (About $735 sale price.)
128GB (4x32GB) DDR4 3600 16-22-22-42 (About $890 sale price.)
Would either of these provide a noticeable improvement in performance? Is there some setting or something that can be changed to improve performance of what's in there. I'd prefer to keep 128GB. But if the difference is noticeable between those 2 kits and the one that's in there I might drop to 64GB. I'm worried there's just a problem with some settings somewhere and replacing the RAM will do nothing as it might not me the issue.
On a side note. Was it unrealistic to expect a noticeable improvement in gaming performance going from a I7 4770K, GTX 1060 6GB, 32GB DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24 setup to a Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070 8GB, 128GB DDR4 3200 16-20-20-40 setup? (I use the extra RAM for other things, not expecting the extra to improve performance. But was expecting the speed to.)
Any and all help would be appreciated. I've asked around a few other places and haven't gotten any help on the matter. If you need more info or I forgot anything. Just let me know.
