CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 64GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 1.35V Desktop Memory - Black

Product Information

There's no way to get gear 1 working. I get the occasional boot with 3600 G2 but it's not stable. Tried auto SA voltage and manual. The best high-performance systems look as good as they run. VENGEANCE LPX is available in several colors to match your motherboard, your other components, your case — or just your favorite color. Now, what bothers me is that the timings in column BG have the highest score for the x264 test. I did further tweak some other timings, which resulted in a faster Membench run, but lower fps for x264 encoding. That's kinda contradictory...

If you're building a Ryzen machine, it might be a better idea to get CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16. I'd recommend just getting a 2x8 kit and running it in Dual Channel mode. It may be that the CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (Optimized for Intel) is using the less expensive and worse hynix chips (they have problems with AM4 but works good with Intel) while I've used this motherboard before with Intel 12th gen and 64GB DDR4-3600 was not an issue then but the same doesn't go for Intel 13th.I can try to reduce CL to 15 or 14. I haven't tried anything lower than 16 so far. Any other timings I could focus on? My online research has found till now that everyone with hynix chip (RAM version 5.39) have the Intel optimized(B) module while those who owns the samsung b-die (RAM version 4.31) have the AMD Optimized(Z) module. Blowing a little dust of this topic, cause I think I've reached the end of the line on tinkering with my RAM timings. Most likely, but temperature dependent. I run 1.40v and never break 40-42C, but different case environments can produce vastly different results.

It's a theory that may seems reasonable but I cannot confirm for sure in any way and would be interesting to understand the difference. I specifically want the samsung b-die version (the Vengeance cost ~170€ while others ram modules like G skill Flare X or other modules with samsung b-die chip usually costs 200€+).The CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 seems to be optimized for Intel boards. It runs at a slightly higher voltage than the CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 and supports XMP 2.0. The CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 appears to be optimized for Ryzen.

Even this failed OCCT: XMP off - 3200 G2 - 18-22-22 - mem 1.25v (which is basically very close to JEDEC). I tried getting tRCDrd under 19, but I can't get the system completely stable, even after cranking up the voltage to 1.4V which the calc suggests as max. What's the deal with the tRCDrd? How could I get it from 19 to the suggested 17. A higher voltage? Or do the other mentioned voltages in the calc play a role?

But does that 30% difference really translate to something humanly noticeable? We've all had the "wow a NVMe drive is 7 times faster than a SATA drive!" but then had the crushing disappointment of it feeling in 99% of cases just like the old SATA it replaced.
