The Ryzen 3000 series responds best by setting the RAM frequency manually with tighter timings and letting the CPU self boost.
The cooler you keep it, obviously the better it performs.
I don't use any of the other features....no PBO ...no XMP.
I've set my cheap TimeTec 3600 to a fixed 3600 and tightened timings to 15, 19,19 19, 36 from the stock 19, 22, 22, 22, 42.
The performance difference is remarkable.
No temperature or stability issues whatsoever...and extremely smooth reliable gaming in everything.
No sure why guys are still manually 'hard' overclocking these processors for indiscernible gains.
Yep. Ryzen is not for overclockers. I’ve also trimmed my memory timings, but even that makes a pretty negligible difference.
When I switched from a lifetime of intel CPU’s, I was a bit apprehensive, but Ryzen has literally been a game changer. Can’t recommend them enough.
