These are my current ram timings. I was wondering for what I got this is the best I can do. I unfortunately cant go higher in memory frequency with everything synced because I wont post and I cant go any lower with my primary timings.

Increase the TREFI 1000ns at a time. See if it'll go 10K+, should help with performance a bit.

tREFi can be accessed, but I'm not sure if it's a CPU generation thing. I remember seeing it with a 5800X and X570 motherboard. Can't remember before that.

@Toothless does your 3600X have access to that DRAM timing?

Found for my memory die type and added it to the title. Someone told me this is really good for H16C but I am not super good with memory so I have no clue whether they are being truthful or not. I only know C die is alright.

3600 is on a B450. Checked the Asus x570 and no option for that setting.

3600 is good for a 3700x. Memory tuning really took off with 5000 series chips and not so much on 3000.

havent messed with 3xxx series for a while, but saw improvements on my 5800, when i increased numbers (for related timings) to match what it should be, e.g. 4 and 16 where i had 4 and 12.
higher numbers dont always mean less perf, my tuned straight 16 runs better than C14 the kit was offered with, while doing 1.36 instead of 1.45v.
try 16/19/19/19/38/54, FAW to 16

I have heard of that before but never tried it. Going to give it a shot right now and see

did you change all at once, or just primary, and faw separate?

i wouldnt use aida for perf bench, i had more fluctuation (gains) with bad timings, just because clock got up by .1 MHz..
not sure what others are using, but try occt ram bench, cinebench 23.

ddr4 tuning
many things are related to amd cpu, so carry over to ddr5.
