[FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T CALCULATE XMP IN DRAM CALCULATOR] .Great tutorial but i was having a little trouble with the new 1.7.3 version and through looking through comments and other videos i found it. Thaiphoon burner > read > choose ram > report > scroll all the way down (bottom right)> show delays in nanoseconds > export > Complete HTML Report > DRAM calculator > Bottom Left Import XMP > choose file > done

Pro Tip bomb with Memtest: only run tests 6 and 8. Those are the 2 tests that it will most likely fail on. If it passes test 6 and 8 then you can run the full test if you want, but it's almost not needed in most cases. This will save you a ton of time! Great video!

Instead of reading the XMP in Dram Calculator, I suggest to export the complete HTML Report with latency in nanoseconds from Thaiphoon Burner and import that to Dram Calculator, as the XMP reading is often not correct.

I did this about a month ago and the benefits are huge! Everything was running pretty smooth with the occasional stutter here and there before, but now after using the FAST settings that I calculated I am getting 0 stutters. Really pushed my ryzen 5 3600 + ddr4 3200 ram to the limit with perfect stability.

When I used to test RAM using MemTest86 I started the process just before going to bed at night. No down time that way. Thank you for another great video!

Wow thank you dude! Just ordered a 3700x from PC Case Gear to arrive this week and I was literally just wondering how to go about this and this very timely vid pops up. Nice!

Two quick notes that I don't think came up in the video, if you're on Hynix dies or having trouble launching Thaiphoon Burner:
1) If your DRAM uses Hynix dies, check the PART NUMBER in the DRAM COMPONENTS section. For example my Corsair Vengeance LPX has the DIE part number as H5AN8G8NAFR-TFC, it's that "AFR" part before the dash that denotes my dies as Hynix AFR dies. Looking at the Die Density/Count one won't tell you the die type on Hynix.
2) If you can't get Thaiphoon Burner to run, try turning you antivirus program off while running it. Avast kept me from starting Thaiphoon Burner, it just died silently without a window coming up at any point, but stopping the protection for 5 minutes allowed me to run the program successfully.

Just did this. Got my cheap 32gb Gskill 3600 kit from CAS 19 to CAS 16 - stable. Thanks so much for this video :) I had opened the calculator about 2 weeks ago, but didn't know how to find what type of die my memory used. This tutorial really helped.

Last time I was this early mainstream CPUs were still quad-cores.

Good video, I've been using those programs to overclock my RAM for about a year and I've gotten my 3200mhz ram to run stable at 3600mhz. Good tutorial, but I might mention if your motherboard doesn't have a cmos reset button you might want to have a jumper on hand, or at least a flat head screwdriver to clear the cmos because it's easy to lock it up with too aggressive of timings.

Steve, you should recommend TM5.. that mem checker thing for quick tests between OC attempts. It's a heck of a lot easier to test with this in Windows than wait 3 hours every time. This stuff usually comes down to 90% DRAM Calc, 10% fiddling with it manually, so it's a lot easier to see if it boots, then give it a quick test with TM5. If it won't pass TM5 than it's useless to wait 3 hours for memtest. Use memtest only if it passes TM5.

Micron E-Die is INSANE. Got my 3600MHz from CL18 Down to CL14 :O
And everything is stable

[alexc]

You filled in, all the information I needed, to make sense in all the confusing information I already gathered and you did it, in a concise and clear manner. No other reviewer has ever impressed me that much and I know quite a few. Thank's a lot!

[badejong]

Great video. The number of downloads of both programs will skyrocket starting today....

[Larwood.]

One thing Steve didn't mention: DRAM Calculator doesn't really work for the majority of Micron E-Die kits, if you do use it and your system fails to boot or the mem test gives errors your first thing to try should be increasing tRCDRD by 2 or so, and if that doesn't work increase tRFC up to around 600-650 if it isn't already.

[angryman]

thank you so much.
i searched for teamgroup ram same as your's overclock info
there was no info anywhere
but after sometime my gpu died and NOW i find this.. but i'm still glad thanks

[wrxbungle]

about to do a Ryzen 3600x build and the "timing" of your tutorial couldn't be better, fantastic!

[opbush]

2 years later and this guide is still amazing! got my ballistixs 3200mhz cl 16 ram to cl 14 and huge improvements to sub timings
