You’re running an AMD 9950X right? Yeah, just tuning my RAM alone got me a 30% faster score from 36m13s down to 25m30s. A little PBO didn’t help any more though. This benchmark is pretty heavy on memory i/o.
@gluon-free , as lemma mentioned in their insightful comments in the other thread, even a little RAM tuning can provide significant uplift for some workloads without pushing speeds into potentially unstable territory.
I’m guessing you could probably get at least 10% improvement by
- confirming 1:1
uclk=mclkif it isn’t already - fabric clock at 2000MHz if it isn’t already
- snug up tertiary/secondary timings a little
- leave primaries mostly alone at your CL32 XMP profile
I’m curious the results if you decide to tune RAM. Thanks and cheers!
