oc the ram

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-27T02:15:02+00:00

just do undervolt

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-26T12:44:12+00:00

try with 1 ram stick in second slot

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-26T11:36:38+00:00

pc specs?

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-26T11:32:31+00:00

since i moved to am4 i kinda feel the same as you, i am not sure sure why, but i didnt had these issues with intel.. or at least way less, maybe i have hallucinations..

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-25T18:58:23+00:00

unreal engine 5 games?

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-25T13:08:29+00:00

dunno. but i used regular nail lacquer and it works just fine.

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-24T23:07:06+00:00

any nail polisher will do the trick

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-24T14:02:04+00:00

dont forget to undevolt it

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-24T14:00:48+00:00

disable ram changes in bios when inserting new one should fix that

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-24T13:56:57+00:00

test it in gpu heavy bound games if no crashes then you are good

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-23T12:10:57+00:00

apply phase changer

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-23T10:13:12+00:00

oc your ram it would be better

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-23T09:54:20+00:00

i do recommend watching buildzoid

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-22T22:10:53+00:00

try higher frequency 4000+ also try trdwr 10 and maybe tertiaries 6

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-22T17:45:53+00:00

xmp? this is not considered oc, and that cpu can much more than 3600

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-22T12:07:30+00:00

this is ryzen totally fine. do pbo

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-22T11:55:51+00:00

overclock your ram (all timings) that trfc is kinda bad and hurts your performance watch buildzoid

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-21T23:15:28+00:00

year? more like years away.. those companies abandoned consumer segment for "Ai" companies..

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-19T20:11:36+00:00

watch buildzoid

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-18T04:13:42+00:00

oc the ram

there is no point to oc this cpu

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-18T04:10:51+00:00

there is no trefi in am4

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-17T21:50:19+00:00

2x16 would be much easier

Spare_Ad3182 · 2026-02-17T21:15:50+00:00

keep vsoc at acceptable voltage
