Here is a little background:
I am building a budget PC and originally planned on using the AM4 platform. However, after managing to secure a great deal on a Ryzen 5 7600X for only €75, I decided to switch to AM5.
After seeing the high prices of DDR5 RAM—even for used sticks—I looked for alternative solutions and discovered DDR5 SODIMM-to-UDIMM adapters.
I did some research and chose a motherboard with only two RAM slots, a Gigabyte B850M Force, as this design apparently helps with signal integrity. I also purchased the 'version 5689' black adapters from AliExpress for €15.
Looking at the used market again, I was originally aiming for Hynix 5600MHz sticks, but they were quite expensive. Instead, I picked up two 8GB Samsung 5600MHz sticks for a total of €35.
After installing everything, the PC turned on and worked fine, but the RAM was only running at 3200MHz. I went back to the internet and found some videos on RAM overclocking, which began my BIOS testing journey. I have now found a configuration and set of values that seem to work (1h RAM test pro + 1h y cruncher vt3 , max temp 55C).
My questions are: Are these values okay? Are they good considering this 'contraption' of a setup? Can I get more performance out of them? Are the temps ok?
Please note that I don't fully understand what most of these values do; I simply followed a guide on YouTube, adapted the settings to my case, and tested them
