AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Rendering Benchmarks

Rendering tests are a long-time favorite of reviewers and benchmarkers, as the code used by rendering packages is usually highly optimized to squeeze every little bit of performance out. Sometimes rendering programs end up being heavily memory dependent as well - when you have that many threads flying about with a ton of data, having low latency memory can be key to everything. Here we take a few of the usual rendering packages under Windows 10, as well as a few new interesting benchmarks.

Ram stability ryzen feedback
So yeah, i have tried 3 different motherboards 3 sets of ram.

In the end i'm with a ryzen 5 3600, b550 pro, and Patriot PVR416G320C6K Viper RGB Series DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB)

https://assets.website-files.com/5cdb2ee0b102f96c3906500f/5dd5c1f3bfa2907363c3d081_PVR416G320C6K_16GB_3200_Kit.pdf

None of the timings recommended by the manufacturer where even posting.

I've tried using the safe timings from Dram ryzen calculator: 14-14-14-28 - won't even post.

My best stable timings are 16-16-16-32. I managed to have up to 2 days without a crash.

Why is this so annoying to get it right? Any feedback is appreciated, thank you all!

Update:

Ok, so only when i manually put in bios the frequency multiplier to 16 (1600mhz) i get in cpu-z Command Rate(CR) 2T, on any other frequency that is above that i get 1T in cpu-z basically lowering my ram stability....
https://ibb.co/vVNZBnN

Update2:

So yeah, i've tried to do auto subtimings and they went to 16-18-18-38, seemed more stable but after 5 min i got blue screen, trying now 14-16-16-32.....
T
Tenshimaxx August 01, 2020
FIXED: Remove Cpu-Z from pc ... no more crashes!

The reason it didn't crash that time for 2 days was cause i didn't check cpu-z for timings. Every time i was changing timings i was using that program to check and 2 minutes into games i got crashes.

I have uninstalled cpu-z and everything working fine, on optimized defaults or xmp profile 1, no issues

Is a 750w enough for this build?
PC specs:
CPU Ryzen 5 3600
GPU RTX 2060 S (Msi Ventus oc)
RAM 2x 8gb Corsair vengeance LPX 3200mhz
MB Msi B550 mag tomahawk
Aer F120mm fans x4
SSD 500gb WD blue
HDD seagate barracuda 2tb.

I plan to use this build for gaming and studying (kinda use a lot of data) but still dont know what PSU should I use, some people tell me a nice 650w 80+gold should be enough and other tell me that I should aim for a 750w 80+gold,
Which one do you recommend? thanks in advance

sizzling October 18, 2006
It’s a gpu that is unlikely to go over 200w and a cpu that will go up to 80w with PBO. Add 50w for everything else and that system is unlikely to use more than 330w under stress testing, so even if you say max 350-380w a 550w is plenty. A 650w would give ample headroom for future upgrades. I’m running a 3700x and 2080 Super on 650w but could easily run a 3950x and 2080Ti on my psu. A 650w gives significant headroom for future upgrades.

Unstable (?) A-XMP RAM
I never OC any memory before. this is my first time on my new build, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.


  • bought and built a new PC, Ryzen powered X570 last week. also bought new RAM, G Skill Trident Z RGB 3600MHz.
  • after built, I immediately ran overall benchmark (userbenchmark), turns out my RAM is performing below expectation. and they said I can get more by turning on XMP from my BIOS.
  • reboot and entered the BIOS (MSI Click Bios 5), the A-XMP is on top of the screen, with big button and 2 profile.
  • selected profile 1 as it set my memory max clock to 3600MHz, save and reboot.
  • but then multiple BSOD happens. at first, I thought my SSD's failing. but I remembered bad memory can also trigger BSOD like this.
  • reboot back to BIOS, and selected Profile 2 as it set my memory max clock to 3330MHz (?), save and reboot.
  • I'm able to boot to Windows without any BSOD, then I began to think why my memory can't handle clock @ 3600MHz.
  • from my knowledge of GPU OC, which is:
    • -more clock equals more power/voltage​ -if power/voltage given failed to meet minimum requirements of the max clock, the GPU will crash/start emitting artifacts​ ​ is this also the case with my RAM? do I need to manually set the power/voltage on BIOS? if yes, then how can I know how much I would need for it? any answer would be appreciated.

    On their site GSKILL do not indicate a single X570 motherboard from any manufacturer equiped with a
    Ryzen 2700 as compatible with 3600 Mhz. They clearly think that the CPU is the limiting factor (it contains the memory controller).
    Why would they do that ? After all their interest is selling quicker and more expensive kits!
    I would leave it on Profile 2.

    CPU Cooler Too Big?
    I am looking to upgrade my CPU cooler, but I'm unsure if it will fit in the case.
    I visited the case manufacturer's site and it says it only fits up to 156mm coolers (Exact wording: CPU Cooler MAX 156mm).
    I just wanted to make sure I'm not buying stuff I won't be able to use. Another concern is if the cooler will block the RAM slots.

    The cooler I'm looking to buy is the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo, which is 124 x 157 x 103mm.

    Case: Zalman S2 ATX Mid Tower
    Motherboard: ASRock B450 Steel Legend
    CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

    If this CPU cooler won't fit I'm open to any suggestions for a new one. I'm looking for a cooler that will keep the temperature at no more than 70*C while gaming at stock clock speeds.
    J
    jeremyj_83 August 23, 2017
    The 156mm is the max height of the cooler. The Arctic you mentioned has a height of 157mm so just 1mm too tall. Here are 3 choices for an upgrade.

    The Pure Rock 2 will probably be the lowest performing of the 2 air coolers with a 150W TDP capacity. However, with a 65W CPU that will draw 88W at most that still will give plenty of room.

    ryzen 7 2700 or ryzen 5 3600
    so firstly i understand that the ryzen 3600 would perform abit better in terms of performance but i cant seem to make my mind up since the 2700 is also an eight core and some say its better option for longevity id like to use it more for gaming id be getting an rx 580 but if you guys can help me decide on the cpu it be appreciated thanks

    cryoburner October 08, 2011
    I would take a Ryzen 3600 over a 2700. The 3600 offers around 15% higher performance-per-clock compared to 2nd-gen Ryzen processors, and if we're talking about a 2700 (non-X) running at stock settings, then the 3600 also runs at notably higher multi-core boost clocks. The two combined mean that at stock clocks, a 3600 can be around 25% faster at most typical CPU-limited tasks, and even at tasks heavily utilizing all cores and threads, the 3600 will often tend to be slightly faster. With an overclock to bring the 2700 up around 2700X performance, it would still be around 15% slower at most tasks limited by CPU performance, and only a little faster at the far-less common tasks utilizing all cores and threads. The 3600 is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the number of threads being a significant limiting factor for gaming anytime soon.

    I would only possibly consider a 2700 over a 3600 if it were priced significantly lower, but at least in the US it's currently possible to get a 3600 for as little as $160, while the 2700 and 2700X are no longer in production and generally priced well over $200 now.

    mdd1963 January 14, 2006
    I'd expect the 3600 to be faster due to higher clock speeds,as the TDP limit for 4600G includes the iGPU; if you intend to purchase a discrete GPU anyway for gaming, the 4600G over a 3600 becomes dubious...
    (remember, the 4600G is not the upcoming 4th gen proces despite it's name, but is instead essentially a slightly detuned/ slower 3600 with integrated graphics...)

    Bios flash should be inside non-volatile memory. Imagine you have same problem each time you do move your PC away from the wall.

    I would say its something inside windows, they load a lot of stuff to optimize performance,
    you loaded it with code XY and cpu supports XZ. so if you have an windows install disc there is option "repair me" its basically does the last update of windows again, keeping your things same way, but should fix the issue.
    OR it was already happening while you waited that's why it took over an hour to boot. Its windows so you wont know.

    Build with i5 10500
    Hi.
    I’m looking to build my next computer for gaming. So far, after some research, I have come up with the following and would like to know what the experts can tell me.
    this is my build for the most important components:


    1. CPU :
    Intel i5 10500 or intel i5 10600 or intel i5 10600k
    2. Motherboard:
    I prefer to go with micro atx, but atx is also just as good.
    • gigabyte z490 m
    • gigabyte z490 ud
    • gigabyte z490 gaming x
    • gigabyte Z490 gaming plus
    My preference goes to gigabyte, because over the years I’ve been very happy with my other builds and their motherboards.
    additionally, my preference goes to a motherboard with wifi. Or should I get a separate wifi card?
    3. RAM :

    For pure gaming a 10600k is definitely the price/performance king, but, with the GPU's you intend to use, I don't think you are going to see any meaningful difference, vs say an R5 3600. If going with the R5 3600 will free up budget, for a better GPU, you will want to go that route, also. You are going to get better gaming performance, with an R5 3600, and a faster GPU, than you would with a 10600k, and a slower one. Looking at pricing, for your area, with PCPP, the R5 3600, vs 10600k, is enough that you could step up to a 2070s, vs a 2060s.

    One stick of ram causing stuttering. Can I disable it from being used but keep the RGB on it?
    Hi all!
    I have 16gb (2x8) Corsair Vengance RGB 3000Mhz from ~2017, Gigabyte Gaming K5, and a Ryzen 3600. One RAM stick causes stuttering when in, one doesn't. As much as I appreciate troubleshooting tips, believe me when I say I've done my due diligence in testing this thing and trying to fix it.
    My question is, can I disable this stick from being used in windows while keeping the RGB component active? I'd hate to have 3/4 slots populated (thinking of picking up 32 more gb here soon, though it'll be 3000mhz Trident Z) and ruin my aesthetic.

    Thank you,
    - Eric

    Edit: I am completely down for physically altering the stick, whether that's soldering or a good ol saw
    S
    sizzling October 18, 2006
    Running single channel will hurt performance and if gaming will cause stuttering in some games. I don’t believe you can switch off 1 stick of installed RAM. Finally adding RAM is not guaranteed to work without issues. RAM is only guaranteed to work in the matched kits it is sold. Your best option here is to sell your working DIMM and buy a matched 2x16gb or 2x32gb kit. Try and avoid 4 DIMM setups unless using a system that supports quad core, motherboard slots does not mean quad core and most consumer hardware is only dual channel. Running 4 DIMM increases the chances of issues running at higher speeds.

    https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-b450-f-gaming/p/N82E16813119140?Item=N82E16813119140&utm_medium=TraEmail&utm_source=TEMC-New-Order-Confirmation-USA&cm_mmc=TEMC-New-Order-Confirmation-USA-_-N82E16813119140
    And I'm pairing with a ryzen 5 3600.
    I've read numerous reviews both on amazon and newegg saying that some B450 chipset MOBOs come incompatible with gen 3 ryzen CPU's.
    It is possible to open the BIOS/UEFI and update it without a gen 2 ryzen cpu, or do I need to drop another 70$ just to update my BIOS??
