I have been wanting to build a new rig, but cant find a 5900x at a reasonable price, or a CH8 dark board. So I'm building this instead

But with no reserve hell no.

@RoadBlaster

no one replied so try

winsat mem

This is my score on the Z170 with 2 8GB GSkill 3600 MHz sticks, yours should be a bit lower. But you can use it to check to see if more ram gains a higher score.

OK, the ram I was using in my main Pc is now in my 2nd PC (Aorus B450 Elite v.1) & has to have XMP enabled for 3200MHZ & is alot higher than yours ??
