Hello there. Let me start with PC specs:
Msi X470 Gaming Plus Max
R5 3600 (stock clocks)
RTX 2070S Gaming X
And now to my problem. I just got myself new kit of 2x8GB 3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 G.Skill Trident Z Neo (F4-3200C16-8GTZN). Thaipon Burner says it's b-die and JEDEC SK-Hynix, but I'm actually concerned if that's right. My RAM overclocking skills are very limited to the stage of enabling XMP and that's all, btw. it works perfectly fine on XMP. So here I am, asking for your help, go easy on me.
I tried to use Memory Try It! from my MSI mobo and got to 3600MHz CL17 19-19-39 @1.424V Sadly it's stable in desktop but after 20ish minutes in Prime95 Large FFTs ends with FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4981207434, expected less than 0.4. It didn't bother me as benchmark is far different stressful on memory than gaming, so I tried few games and no after few minutes BSOD happens.
After that I tried CL18, then fast check in Prime95 for around 20minutes and no errors, but from what I've seen that's no performance gain at all since it's basically the same as basic XMP.
My final try was with DRAM Calculator, both for Fast and Safe presets for 3600, but after copying all of those numbers from there, system didn't even boot and I had to reset CMOS.
So. Is it actually possible to OC that memory or I'm stuck with XMP preset? It's not like that few fps more matters but if it's possible to squeeze more juice out of them I'd love to. And if it's possible, where should I start, what should I watch and most important, how to approach it etc.
