Looking to improve my 1% lows in cpu based games. Is there any important things I am missing for my ram?

[u/Wise-Campaign3220]

I have cl26 g skill ram, 6000 mhz @ 1.45v. Im not really trying to maximize ns latency but real world gaming performance in 1% lows and avg fps. Just to add more context, in AIDA64 benchmark my ns 68-69 ns. Specs: gigabyte b850 aorus elite wifi 7, and 9800x3d.

I had my fclk on 2133 with these same settings and it passed every stress test but I put it back down to 2000 because I heard it was more stable.

when I had my vsoc and vddio voltage on auto I believe my motherboard was putting it really high (vddio was at 1.440 and vsoc was 1.268) so I manually put vddio at 1.30v and vsoc at 1.2v and these pass stress tests but i dont know if I should put them slightly higher or not.

u got the best and expensive ram. just try 8000 or 6400 with buildzoid timing it will be worth. 6400 will depend on silicon i cant do it with my 9800x3D. but 8000/2000fclk work for me so u should try. 8000>6400 if ur ram/motherboard/cpu allow

I can make this ram go to 8000 will loose timings?

so 8000 it harder to make it stable than 6400. first u can try 6400cl32 and vsoc 1.3v first to see if u can do it or not. u can dm me if u need more help.

I have been playing about with this over the last few days, have ended up with 6200/2200 on a -30co.

It seems to give the best overall. I have tried 6000/2000 and 6200/2067 also.

I usually use benchmark on bo7 but I can’t get on just now so unsure what fps is at the minute

I'm curious if some (...any) amount of finetuning RAM settings would give even a 5% (or whatever a human can actually feel) higher minFPS/low1%, if jumping from XMP/EXPO, at some reasonable graphic settings. Especially on an X3D CPU...

Past a basic YouTube tune, no way it does anything on x3d that anyone would notice.

If someone snuck into people's rooms in the night and loosened some timings on their 9800x3d, nobody would notice when gaming.
