So you get the 5700G running now? What is the verdict?

I am liking it. Havenāt run any bench marks yet, but discovered that I am going to have to learn something about overclocking to get the full 3600MHz out of the memory. So far Iāve been completely ignorant about such things.
Just enable the DOCP in the BIOS, this will do it automatically for you.
DOCP is for AMD and XMP is for Intel
Edit: One more thing, check for BIOS updates to get the latest AGESA

For a little more detail, you can look at stuff from Tomās hardware - it will give you a bit more info and offer suggestions. A quick look gave me this:
Enjoy! And monitor your tempsā¦

I think on those boards you can set the memory easily without overclocking the cpu. On my X570 i have 3200 Mhz and i set it manually to that.

mcury had the right idea. switching one of the bios settings to DOCP did the trick. 3600 Mhz
True enough - but it might be well to adjust other settings to do with timings if you go for max (like 3600) - there is far more general info and tutorial info out there than I will ever need!
I usually always get ram that matches what the processor specs say.
5700G
System Memory Specification
Up to 3200MHz
I donāt know what running 3600 Mhz does when you have so much to begin with. You would have to compare the exact same board with same memory. One with 3200 Mhz and one with 3600Mhz in order to show that. Just because 3600 Mhz is a faster memory doesnāt mean your going to get much gain when compared to the exact same hardware on 3200 Mhz. I would only believe that if comparing apples to apples and i see the results based on that. (all exact same hardware except the memory.)

You can run 3600Mhz memory if your memory/motherboard supports it, that wonāt be an issue, however you may face warranty issues.
According to this link https://community.amd.com/t5/processors/ryzen-5600x-ram-speed-support-3600mhz/td-p/477805, āofficially AMD says that they canāt provide warranty if you activate XMP or run higher memory clocks than what they say is the limit.ā
I wouldnāt bother, I would just enable DOCP and run the fastest profile for your memory, you payed for a 3600Mhz memory right?
Otherwise it would be better to buy a 3200Mhz kitā¦

On mine there are two default profiles. Even though i have 3200 Mhz it runs lower unless you set it at 3200. I have the Ryzen 7 3800X on an X570 MSI motherboard. I set it profile 1.
Mine here there are two profiles too, 3000 CL-15 and 3200Mhz CL-16, I just set it to 3200Mhz CL-16ā¦
If I leave it at the defaults, the memory runs at 2666Mhz.
I like the DOCP because it reads the timings, voltages and everything directly from the memory profiles, which has been tested by the manufacturerā¦
There is something in these Ryzens called Infinity Fabric which is directly linked to the memory speed, unfortunately I donāt know enough about it to be able to speak about it in a more technical way, but there is a lot of info about it if you google it
Yesā¦ when you use the profile settings it does set the timings and settings based on the installed memory. My point only is that i would have to have two exact systems with only the memory being different in order to have a comparison that i would believe.
Yes, I suppose the performance gain from a 3200Mhz to a 3600Mhz is very little, but just with an identical system you would be able to compare it indeedā¦
Edit: One thing that Gamer Nexux found out is that if you run 4 sticks of memory in a Ryzen you would have 10% more performance than running 2 sticks of the same RAM.
4 Sticks single rank would give you double channel and dual rank
2 Sticks double rank would give you double channel and dual rank
But if you have two sticks single rank, you wouldnāt have the dual rankā¦
I typically donāt buy overclocking ram because itās usually quite a bit more expensive.
Yes and quad channel is also on newer boards.

Me too, price is the thingā¦
But instead of buying 2 sticks of 8GB RAM, I would try to buy 4 sticks of 4GB of RAM to get the dual rank thing
The future sounds expensive to me hehe
Ya the new boards are Pci-e 5.0 with DDR5. m.2 drives will be more expensive if they create faster ones for Pci-e 5.0. Graphics cards are outrageous. Iāll go with onboard graphics as it isnāt worth it unless you are gaming.

The only thing good there is that the PCI-e 4.0 gen M.2 drives will be cheaperā¦
