I got myself a kit of 3200C14 B-Die Trident Z and started fiddling around with the DRAM Calculator.
System:
MSI B450M Mortar
Ryzen R5 3600 @ stock (no PBO)
Trident Z RGB 3200C14 2x8GB
Corsair RM650X
3200 14-14-14-28-42-1T-GDD @ 1.37:
A bit high on the Latency and not very impressive Writing bandwidth
3600 14-15-14-28-42-1T-GDE @ 1.42
Quite a lot better!
But now it got funky. I discovered a difference in performance when entering timings directly into bios or through Ryzen Master. Above is Ryzen Master. Below is BIOS
Exact same timing and settings! That's a hefty drop! The only way to restore performance is setting timings on auto in bios again and use Ryzen Master to override them again.
Then I gave it another shot at 3733 at CL14 which didn't boot and at CL16 it gave me worse performance than 3600CL14. I almost gave up until I decided to give the DRAM calculator another shop at 3800MHz. Here the settings and results:
3800 16-17-16-32-50-1T-GDE @ 1.42v
And that's good enough for me. I'm currently testing if it's stable for 24/7 and so far it devoured everything I threw at it. Prime and Memtest and Gaming. 1.42 is a really nice low voltage and not much heat is coming from it but when the GPU is heating up the are touching 50 degrees. I'm going to switch around the layout of the cooling a bit or get a Dominator Airflow cooler on top of it to make sure they stay cool. I'm working in an M-ATX case and AIO cooler not much airflow options.
I think with some better cooling and a bit more voltage this memory is not out of breath yet and I could tighten timings a bit here and there but for now I'm really satisfied with the performance increase.
I failed to make an Aida64 bench screenshot at XMP baseline but it was lower than my first screenshot here for the ease of things lets compare the first screenshot with the last:
Read: 48100 MB/s -> 55500 MB/s = +7400 MB/s
Write: 25600 MB/s -> 30400 MB/s = +4800 MB/s
Copy: 46200 MB/s -> 53100 MB/s = + 6900 MB/s
Latency: 74.2 -> 65.8 = - 8.4 ns
How this translates to real world performance depends on the application it doesn't help with GPU bound resolution gaming but might help with some other things.
