Hi guys,
A friend gave me a budget and asked me to build him a PC. While doing that, I came across a Corsair CL36 kit with an RGB bar that I wanted to swap with mine (Kingston Hynix CL40 M-die) for both speed and aesthetics.
After tweaking for a while, I realized that Micron has much looser timings and weaker OC capabilities. I did see a video claiming Micron can be brought very close to M-die performance, but it honestly feels a bit cringe and probably fake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJZt9EqYt5w
The main issue is that nothing works properly when I try to OC. I can pass y-cruncher for several hours, OCCT, and even game testing without problems. But then I reboot the PC the next day and it either freezes as soon as it enters Windows or the BIOS freezes when I try to save changes with the OC enabled.
I know I’m running BCLK at 102, but that alone hasn’t really caused problems before. BCLK 102 with EXPO seems fine as well.
So basically, I need help optimizing the 7800X3D with this pair of Micron B-die, and I’d also like some perspective on how much performance I’d lose if I just gave up on the M-die.
