Many or some of you may have this memory, but are sleeping on its potential.
This memory is beast! In fact, there isn't better memory in the entire country! (Yeah I said it).
DDR4 4600 C19-19-19 capable at 1.5V (Yes 1.5V is more than safe!)
Insanely good memory this and I still can't believe it even now.
 
:) I actually bought this same kit after watching your previous 4133 vid
 
I know a lot of people had issues with this memory after my last video.
They or rather almost everyone ended up with Micron E-Die ICs and not B-die
The B-die sticks should be labelled as ST-50 on the sticks themselves, while the E-die ones are labelled DT-50 on the sticks.
This isn't written on the box so no way to know. However having said that the E-Die memory is awesome as well. as shown in the screenshot below.

In the next video (Another D60 and D50 video is coming up) I'll share the timings for the Micron E-die settings to do 4000+
They are literally standard E-die settings for any memory from any vendor really, but just in case.
 
What are your thoughts on the D20's performance? Not the biggest fan of RGB so would like to avoid if I can .

Haven't tried the D20's but I would be surprised if they weren't as capable for the same IC's and PCB of course.
From the SKUs available though it seems that they are the same as the D50/D60 line minus the RGB.
So DDR4 3600 CL18 D20 is same as the 3600 CL18 D20.

Awesome, it's the only brand that offers that frequency at the price point and if they are that good then it's a no brainer.
 
awesome stuff Neo, i just picked up 4x D60 sticks (Micron E-Die) from Jono.

Will have to give them a bash
 
Woops let's make that DDR4 5000 done ;)
For such cheap memory I mean really this is insane

@Enigma hey mate you should have the same results then on those I think. No reason for the DRAM ICs or PCB to be different.
To reach 5G on this board I had to adjust PROC ODT to 36.9ohms but for normal use or tuning I thin this mem still has the minerals

Do you reckon the DT-50 (E-die) version of the 3600 C18 could reliably hit 3600 16-16-16-36? I currently have 16GB running at that speed and timings but I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to 32GB, but I don't want to lose my current frequency/timings.

Using 16GB DIMMS would likely require or may require you to drop the frequency to 3466 with the same timings. 3600 16-16-16-36 is pretty tight especially for E-Die, and I've seen that some memory doesn't like lower trcd and trp, so may have to stick with 16-18-18-40 or so. I've not tested 3600 with tight timings, just 3800 and max frequency. I'll see what I can manage at 3600, would be rational to assume same timings just lower frequency by one divider, so 3466, but you would more than make up for the loss in frequency with the performance gained from increased rank interleaving opportunities

Do you think 5000mhz is possibly on a 2x16gb kit?
I am getting this motherboard you used and I am wondering if it is even worth going 32gb at the moment or if I would be better off with 16gb. But if given this memory is doing so great it's hard to pass up on 3600mhz for the price point xD

No DDR4 5000 isn't for 24/7 use here and certainly not possible with 16GB DIMMs for now if ever. DDR5 will sort that out but for the current ICs and PCBs DDR4 5000 on 16GB DIMMs is not going to happen.
For AMD realistically, 3800 is all we need and all that's effective. Sure you can do 2G+ on board/CPU combinations that allow, but you then have WHEA issues and some latency issues.
Even on the this board, I mostly use 3800 14-15-15-36 and 1900MHz FCLK or 2GHz Fclk and C15 instead, both far from 4800+

System at 3800 1:1 will always beat the higher clocks regardless of timings (barring XOC 4800 C14)

wish my 3900x would do 1900mhz fclk..nevermind 2ghz!

It should do at least 1866MHz yeah? Either way, getting 2G without WHEA problems is too dependent on BIOS/AGESA version.
I myself am stuck with an older ancient BIOS pre Patch D of the latest AGESA, because it has by far the best mem OC.
On the GIGABYTE boards, my experience with mem OC is inconsistency. Settings seems stable after hours of testing, only to just fall over randomly the next day or whenever.

You are using 16GB DIMMS though and they are significantly harder to OC as you know.
 
Turns out I've got 4 of the st50 sticks, samsungs. I dont overclock though, any noticeable benefit to gaming with these?

HI!!
Would you please share a screenshot of values to put on BIOS for lower Frecuency, like 3600 or something stable?
I´m trying on my X470 ASROCK TAICHI with DRAM Calculator values and didn´t works.. and with XPM profile sometimes it freezes.
I have a B-die Micron Version 2x16Gb

Gosh no idea why I didn't see this till no so sorry.
No there are no differences in performance for everyday use.

I've no experience with Micron B-die however, you can try just auto rules, set 1.35v vDIMM and primary settings at 18-22-22-44 at 3600 that should work just fine if not see if 1.4v works or if swapping the sticks around works.
