Some interesting Ryzen tests that haven't been mention yet here I think, you can get up to some 10% higher FPS in games and 12% in MT workloads by using dual rank memory compared to single rank memory of the same frequency, of course the optimal setup would be something like 3600MHz + dual rank.
I think it's interesting based on the cost of throwing super fast single rank RAM on Ryzen, which is pricey.
Getting outperformed by dual ranked RAM which is usually cheaper.

According to the same article this is a bigger jump than moving to 3200mhz memory, so this is a cheap way to get more performance without also worrying about mobo compatibility

Guess this is my 4 DIMM setup.
Austin Roberts
hm, isn't it because servers use low clocked high density RAM? makes perfect sense why controller performs better with them
Gabriel Sanders
Yup, RDIMMs go up to quad ranked
Adrian Butler
>AMD gets more performance from physically denser and slower memory
What kind of wizardry is AMD up to?
Jayden Robinson
I can't explain it other than memory controller tricks. Which is kinda neat because all those naples servers will be running dual rank ECC

>1500X Too bad, we can't know if the same is true for 1600/1600x

I have a r7 1700 with a gigabyte ax370 gaming 5 board and a 2x8gb kit of ripjaws 3200. I can't get it to boot past 2400, with voltage set properly, should I buy a new kit or wait for optimization?
Jordan Reed
Might wait for optimazation... But as you're a spender, not doing research, you might as well buy new ones.
Make sure they're 3200mhz cl 14, or 3600mhz+. Those should work, or are likely to work, or at least liklier.

If you're on dual rank you don't even need to bother with higher memory speeds.
Not sure if it's dual rank or not. Specs don't say so anywhere.
Guess I'll wait then.
Eli Roberts
>Specs don't say so anywhere. It's on the kits themselves, should say something like 1Rx or 2Rx followed by capacity or frequency
2R is dual rank

I'll check when I get home. Last night I got it to boot into Windows at 2400, but everything was super laggy, unusable. I'll have to play more with it tonight
