3200Mhz is the sweet spot.

3466Mhz does give a boost but at much higher cost.

RAM speed I recommend aim for 3000 at a minimum, 3200 being sweet spot.

It depends really.

For example my Apacer Blade Fire is not in QVL. Rated speed is 3000Mhz but on my Ryzen system I can push it to 3333. Intel system can do 3466.

Your D41 - loaded XMP profile already right?

I've just tested.

Ryzen 7 1800X with MSI Xpower Xgaming Titanium - Set to 3200 but falls back to 2666Mhz.

Ryzen 5 2600X with ASRock X470 Master SLI/ac - Set to 3200 via profile, stays at 3200Mhz no issue.

XPG D41 btw, what board was yours again? Gigabyte / AORUS right?

Running XPG D40 on ASRock X470 Gaming K4 now, works like charm.

3200 XMP speed loaded, 3200 XMP speed get.

So far OK.

What usage did you encounter instability?

The best overclock I achieved, for some reason is on my ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac rather than my X370 models.

Nowadays no APU already. Not for the desktop segment, 2200G and 2400G aren't APU.

X370 Gaming ITX/AC works EXACTLy like B350 Gaming ITX/AC.

Shit ASRock going to scold me liao if they saw my post. LOL.

If people say your Ryzen sucks in gaming, show this video!

Usually GPU, CPU part they've stopped exaggerating for a long while now.

And yes wait for reviews, those claimed "leaked" details are not from AMD.

It depends very much on the fan model and placement

This means fan CFM / Static Pressure, this means size is also a factor.

Some casings are good, 3 fans at the front also super airflow already. Some casing, 2x 200mm fan already still lousy airflow.

On the contrary, the stock cooler actually works great even if you do OC.



It's just a matter of degree of OC you're doing, and also depending on the Ryzen model, some of them have "off" reading due to temperature reading off-set.

Based on my experience with Ryzen, pushing your memory speed gives you better return than overclocking.

Overclocking is even less required on 2nd generation thanks to the PB2, add XFR to that and it's already auto-OC on the fly.

About stock cooler, the Ryzen 2700X's stock cooler is a beefy model, easily worth the performance of many RM 200 - 300 cooler models.

Good stuff.

ID Cooling Frostflow 240+, I use that one for my 1700 OC last time.

I think depends on model.

Based on my experience, models like 1700 run really cool. 1800X can go quite toasty even after factoring temperature off-set.

2nd generation feels warmer than 1st gen, probably due to the PB2.

Ryzen 5 2400G for example runs hotter than I expected, the provided stock cooler shows show 90c+ when I do Blender test (video above).

About giving better cooler, the AMD Ryzen system will decide XFR based on how cool it runs.

I will test it (Ryzen 5 2600) later today and let you know if I encounter the same.

What casing are you using again?

Multiple fans also doesn't mean more silent, in some cases worse if it's cheapo fans, suggesting 6 without models event worse.

That's why have to see model, can check out various Corsair, Be Quiet and Noctua models. I think CM also has some pretty neat fans.

For me I shop looking at RPM vs CFM, then see price.

Just 2 of those fans already cost more than a cheap casing, like I bought the Noctua NF-F12 last week https://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-industrialppc-3...m/specification

I'd go with what ALeUNe mentioned.

It really is, and will work well if you know what you're doing.

There's a clearance sale over the weekend.



Check out the comments section, someone posted the price list.

You try and see, Gigabyte known for sluggish UEFI, and their accessibility is like layer after layer.

I have many ASRock boards, no problem with them.

Got my best clocks from ASRock boards too.

Your current setup?

CPU -> AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | MOBO -> ASROCK Fatal1ty B450 ITX/ac



Also Corsair RAM, LOL my LPX also like that, rated 3000Mhz but die die only can do 2933 or less.
