Close. R5 3600 or R7 3700x. Hey there! Not sure if that's about RAM or CPU performance.Well well, that should sum my situation up quite well. I just learned that its recommended to also get some new ram (like 3200mhz or 3600mhz) which I previously wasn't accounting for in my upgrading budget. The front panel of my case chokes the 360 rad a bit though.Board: ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PlusTested stability on 5 different games, aswell as 3DMark Time Spy Extreme and Fire Strike Ultra (looping CPU test + full benchmark). I am using the Gigabyte Aorus X570 Ultra Mobo. I'm planning to upgrade my mobo and cpu to Ryzen 7 3700x. I'm planning to upgrade my mobo and cpu to Ryzen 7 3700x. I have updated all the chipset drivers, and everything else that can be updated. either way you could just overclock your ram today before making any new purchases and see how high you can get the clock speed with a voltage ceiling of 1.46V. However according to CPU-Z and HWMonitor, those voltages are kept for much longer, I'd say within a minute they might drop below 1.4v about 3-4 times for 1 second each.I would just tweak PBO like Buildzoid did and keep the high single core boost while elevating all-core. I even changed out the CPU from a Ryzen 7 3700x to the Ryzen 9 3900x. What I've read is, that those high voltages are fine because they're only applied for milliseconds, resulting in the automatic boost actually being better for CPU lifespan in most cases. The Ryzen 9 3900x went on sale for $400 at micro center which made me reconsider my choice because at first I was going to get the Ryzen 7 3700x but now I am unsure. However looking at ram prices it’s only like 80 bucks for 16gb of 3200+Division 2 had a <10% increase in framerate.It's not a huge difference unless the program is super memory intensive (IE you're looking at single digit % speed differences in most tasks)Micron's Ballistix Sport LT 3200Hey guys, i'm super new here. :)I've also read that the auto OC's performance can be boosted by increasing the LLC level (which I've never used before) and/or changing PBO settings (the 4 sub settings of PBO in my BIOS are all set to auto currently).Only had Intel chips so far, 3570K and 7700K to be precise, now just got my first AMD chip (3700X) and of course I wanted to jump right into overclocking, however upon doing some research I found out that the performance increase gained by manually OC'ing is minimal and lifespan impact of high voltage is pretty bad on this chip.There's also another setting which is new to me. I'll get into some PBO tweaking. Also running a gtx 1070 if that matters.That said, if you do decide to upgrade I reccomended Micron's Ballistix Sport LT 3200, it's relatively cheap (under 80$ for 16GB) and I have the 3200 32GB kit running at 3600 CL16 with auto timings without any issues on a 3700xI had an XMP issue with my motherboard, so would often boot to 2166, where it should be 3200.
i'm currently running an i5 7600 and 16gb ram 1400mhz.
Single Core is around 485-490.

How much slower or noticeable will it be to upgrade ram?
