Steve's ability to say really long model numbers is seriously impressive!

[Nestor.]

Thanks Steve. Unfortunately this test really lacked a tuned double rank config

[MonSignor]

Just want to let you know that we appreciate all the efforts and hardwork you put on every review/videos you guys release. Thank you so much! We also know that this is just the start and the busy days is yet to come but.. have some sleep for now Steve! 😁

Great video. Elephant in the room= at the high end, Intel can top out around 4400mhz C17 but Ryzen is stuck between 3800-4000 due to FCLK limitations (in a gaming context).. that's the comparison I want to see- both platforms pushed to the max. Intel probably still in front here (Gaming only) - which is quite impressive for such a old architecture

[LinkStorm]

Wow, just WOW!
This came out so quick with much more information than I ever wanted to know. I didn't even expected you to touch this topic before the launch of the radeon 6000 series

[WXSTANG]

Well well... thank you for the testing. Great video!

[bunnyhop]

providing another POV about this topic is really a bonus for the community.
awesome video as always. thank you very much

just a question though, how do you know if a memory module is a SR or a DR?
or am i asking the wrong kind of question :O

[chrisbenn]

Help with some understanding!
In the tests, 3800hz was the best? Then Why buy 3600hz? Why not buy 3800hz RAM?
Like Trident Z Neo F4-3800C14Q-32GTZN ? I just googled 3800 Hz ram...

[erictheawesomest]

Guys... im upgrading! 🥳

from i5 2400 8gb ram to ryzen 5600x with 32gb ram (2x16gb I hope)

....with a gtx 1050ti, but I only play at 1080p so no reason to upgrade right now

[LOLHoneybadger]

Since I have a memory kit that is the Royal version of the 3600MHz CL14 kit you guys tested here, I have to ask, for those custom-tuned timings, what voltage were you running at, still the stock 1.45V or up to 1.5V? Also did you push the SoC voltage at all for 1900MHz FCLK? And if so what to?

[carlosalvarez]

I would like to find more information related to this topic but for laptops, any recommendations?

[ThomasPerl]

The Video I didn't know I was waiting for until I saw another video.

[christopherluke]

Dude, I love how you explain things. Makes it easier on my undervolted brain.

[kathleendelcourt]

Glad you clarified the 2 sticks vs 4 thing and replaced it with the more accurate single rank vs dual rank. If your ram modules are single rank, use 4 sticks. If your modules are dual rank, use 2 sticks you won't get any significant benefit by going to 4 (except doubling your available Ram that is).

[MCPEMCPEKINGBOLTS]

Let's be honest steve... You can't sleep.

[Thejasonlessard]

Wait, why is there no tuned dual rank memory in the benchmark? Isn't this the whole point of the video, to see scaling from single to dual rank, yet you are only tuning single rank?

[DSP_Visuals]

Your conclusion really sums up why I'm subscribed to this channel.

[PulseCrisisMusic]

This is the first explanation of memory ranks I've seen that actually made sense. Thank you for the clear breakdown and visual aids.

[orujkarimov]

I thought Steve promised that he is going to sleep, what are those eyes!

[TheHrb]

So pretty much as I understood it from GN before, if Im looking at getting 32gb then Im better getting 4x8 than 2x16, all other things being equal.
