DRAM Calculator for Ryzen v1.4.0 by 1usmus Released: Memory Settings Made Easy
Ukrainian PC enthusiast and software developer 1usmus today released DRAM Calculator for Ryzen version 1.4.0. This utility was formerly known as "Ryzen DRAM Calculator," which has since been voluntarily renamed by the author in the interest of avoiding any future trademark conflict with AMD, or giving users the impression that the software has been made by AMD. The change in name doesn't change the fact this could be your go-to app to figure out the best memory settings for your AMD Ryzen-powered machine.
PC enthusiasts usually only remember 4 or 5 DRAM timing settings besides DRAM clock and voltage, letting the motherboard BIOS figure out the rest of the stable values, which could often be looser than needed. DRAM Calculator for Ryzen figures out nearly every under-the-hood timing, voltage, clock-speed, and other setting needed to make the most out of your memory overclock. You can also make the app work out "safe," "stable," and "extreme" variations of its own calculations. Version 1.4.0 isn't just a name-change for the application. It introduces a large number of critical updates to the app that improve accuracy and functionality.

- Initial support Threadripper gen 1 and gen 2
- Improved SOC voltage prediction for different processors and their generations
- Additional window that will tell what minimum DRAM voltage is needed by the system
- Additional windows that show a nanosecond delay for the current calculated profile. It will be especially useful for users who are reflashing SPD
- Improved prediction procODT + RTT + CAD_BUS for some memory (the block has endured many changes)
- Improved overclocking for Hynix CJR . Up to 3800 MHz inclusive. Big thanks @Reous for the help
- A switch has been added to define system tasks, BGS / BGSalt recommendations depend on it. Turning off BGS allows you to increase gaming performance by up to 5%
- The "Custom" profile will be based solely on the data that is placed in XMP. Its new name is "Debug". Mode designed from scratch, available for almost all chips (but still need some time for a more subtle configuration).I think this mode is needed for professionals who want to see all the changes relative to automatic overclocking or XMP profile. This will allow them to see some nuances that can not provide the profiles of "V1" and "V2".Also, this mode will be useful to owners of systems based on Intel processors.
- Some changes in procODT + RTT for systems in which 4 RAM SR modules
- Added support for Micron D-die
- Changes in the code that will help speed up the development of the calculator (future versions)
- Added some popup tips for key settings
- New picture in folder Configuring Ryzen Systems v5
- Other corrections/bug fixes

There is a new kit that popped up by Kingston that is using Hynix chps and is pretty good value. On the surface it's bog standard 2933Mhz CL15 but it overclocks very well to 3600Mhz or even 4000Mhz with decent timings. Also it's cheaper than G.Skill/Samsung stuff: geizhals.eu/kingston-hyperx-predator-rgb-dimm-kit-32gb-hx429c15pb3ak4-32-a1812975.html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk
and 16GB: geizhals.eu/kingston-hyperx-predator-rgb-dimm-kit-16gb-hx429c15pb3ak2-16-a1812967.html

Edit: Unfortunately it's not stable enough for gaming :(
I have a Msi motherboard x370 games pro carbon, and it seems to me that it uses memory routing (T-topology).
According to master 1usmus this topology and inferior to daysi chain for memory overclocking.
Well: I have memories 2x8gb gskill royal 4000 cl17 b-die, and I will get the new ryzen 3700x.
I would like to know if it will be possible to reach 3733mhz with this motherboard, in the BIOS of it has option until ddr4200.
Would this T topology limit me to 3733 sync with the 3700x?
Will I have to change my motherboard for an x570?
