Hello guys i need some help, some opinion.

I have budget PC

Ryzen 3 1200 stock

Asrock a320m-dvs r.3.0

8gb ram ddr4 Patriot viper 4

RX 560 4gb

This PC is great for me i play only esport's game and sometimes play game like metro low settings.

But i have issue with my memory.

I canno't set up more then 2666 

but ok i decided to leave this.

The problem is in prime95 blend test i have random error with 16-18-18-18-36 2666 but system full stability 

but with settings 14-15-15-15-36 2400 it's everything ok no error in p95.

i'm testing now low timing like 12-15-15-15-36 2400

result in fire strike CL16: 5707

result in Fire strike CL14: 5690

My question is it's will be a big difrence in game?

Every know the ryzen like more speed ram than timings...

What should i do?

Leave 2400mhz and fighting for low timings or leave 2666 with p95 error but system looks good?

Given your low power video card it's not going to make a meaningful difference.

For now i tested and no error with cl 12-13-13-13-32 2400 and i leave this.

But in some weeks i plan to buy rx 570 will be ok with this speed ram and cpu?

And why i cant get 2666 without error?

Dual or singl rank make a difrence to oc speed ram?

Not all RAM will run flawlessly on every motherboard. Your motherboard manufacturer has a QVL list on their support page which lists which RAM modules are guaranteed to run at their rated speeds.

[barszczu122]

Ok i think i leave this on 2400 cl12 it is not that bad

[barszczu122]

I leave on 2666 becouse on this speed system full stability. 

Occt pass 1 hour

Aida 64 stability test pass 4 hour

Memtest passes 3 

But prime95 blend test fails on 2666 and on 2400 is everything good

Again this CPU is max 26xx for ram - see link in other thread!

[black_zion]

Your motherboard sets the maximum RAM speed capabilities, not the CPU.

[noodles59]

In terms of overclocking, yes, but default speed is what the CPU dictates! 

[noodles59]

... and overclocking is out of manufacturer's responsibility hence guarantee!

[black_zion]

Running a RAM module at rated timings and speeds is not overclocking and does not void any warranty.

[noodles59]

Again, the CPU set the default ram speed since the ram controller is on die - for the 2700x (example) this is 2933 and anything above this is termed overclocking even when you plug in XMP3600+ and it may work fine - Of course you are right the mobo set the max supported ram speed that can be uses on this board (..and it's still oc'ing).

we can agree to disagree?!

This is not about voiding warranty or not...

That's complications and headache for free. From the beginning with RAM or CPU people would get the "high model" instead get a "low model" to Overclock. And the reason about "budget and price" is an auto-cheat.

With a 2666 MHz or 3000 Mhz memory, you can enjoy the PC instead suffering with complex tunning (and risky).  Try to set default settings for RAM, then and try the automatic XMP Memory given by the motherboard. if is there difference in games? just a little, maybe just in better numbers but in play game experience maybe you won't notice it. 
iF you will go for the RX 570, you will find a better and nice experience for your setup. iF you are enthusiast of latencies and frequencies for tunning, take your registers and save your bests settings as you've done it.

RAM speed performance on AMD Pinnacle Ridge tested (TomsHardware)‌ a little?

[jorgemd]

10% of relative performance, and considering the results may vary depending hardware and software tested, some balance
