Great score

Great score

Here is my X570 & can not believe the new ram is not as high a score ? is it because it's only 2 X 8GB sticks of 4,000mhz CL15 Ram in XMP 1 mode ?

You would have to play with all the timings and voltages

Wow, your 3200 scored mega high. And you have 17GB of it for hardware reserved. (and you only have 16GB installed ) I don`t think adding more ram will increase your score, you`ll just have more memory to use.

Maybe the fact that you are using 1 stick helps you. And 1 of your CPU`s may have a much better memory controller than the other ??

1 stick of 3200 scoring over 50,000 MBs, that`s awesome.

And the new 4000 MHz stick only scored 40,000 MBs ?

Your 4000 MHz stick has very high CL #`s, it may have something to do with it.

No both computers now have 2 of the same sticks in them (I have edited my PC Specs to match again). I tried 4,0000mhz ram in a game & it has improved the graphics quite a bit & alot more detail in the distance can be seen with nothing adjusted.
But it still does not explain to me why the B450 board has a massively higher score than my gamer X570 ?

Memory controller is that not in the CPU ? the B450 high scoring board only has a from new R5 1600 6C12T & the X570 has a from new R7 3800X 8C16T?

Maybe I will swap the ram around & see if its that particular ram which is really good or it's the mobo ?

That score is right in line with my G.Skill 3600Mhz CL16 RAM that I am running in my X570. Capacity shouldn't impact your score.




I haven't done any tweaking to my RAM. I just enabled DOCP in my BIOS and it grabbed my timings.

I Have also found if the repeat the winsat program you change the score either way by @ + & - 800

^ If you set the power plan to high performance or ultimate performance you should get more consistent winsat scores

Correct me if I`m wrong, but I think the performance plan only keeps the CPU at top speed, the memory speed should not change.

Ultimate Performance ????

Is that something new ??

My score stays consistent and I use the Balanced Plan on the Z170.
