Am fairly new to tweaking timings on RAM and stuff, which I’d like to do before I head over to overclocking my 5600X (I have a MASTERLIQUID ML240L V2 AIO), I play games like Planetside 2, CS:GO and Overwatch, all of them with my graphics settings very CPU dependent, so I’d be very appreciative of any recommendations for my CPU aswell.
However, the problem that I’ve faced is that DRAM Calculator shows me the values “0” and other weird looking numbers when I tried to let it calculate. The RAM I’m using is the Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 CL16, my mainboard is an MSI B550-A Pro.
I tried to follow der8auer’s German guide here: [https://youtu.be/uJYNwKd7RnE](https://youtu.be/uJYNwKd7RnE), however, I believe he was using a 4000MHz RAM Kit. If I understood correctly, you can reduce memory latency by decreasing the clock speed and tightening/lowering the timings which he says is benefitial for a Zen3 CPU overclock. In his case, he lowered the speed to 3800MHz, increased the voltage, set the FCLK to 1900MHz and lowered the timings a little which in return reduced his memory latency.
Should I be doing that / worrying about that with the specific RAM I own? Also the whole fabric clock-thing, haven’t fully understood that.
If yes, why is the DRAM Calculator showing me strange numbers?
And final question: Which type of overclock is the most benefitial for the games I play? I think CS:GO uses just a single core and Overwatch is a multi-core game. Any recommended values? (I’d like to get a higher clock speed which should be achievable with my AIO)
Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance
