Unfortunately, too many for my taste, I don't have time or will to fiddle with all possible permutations.
I saw that:
- Corsair ram listed as supported in my mobo details,
- Corsair is boosting about being Ryzen compatible,
- my desired (currently affordable and available in the shop) ram sticks has good reviews,
which was enough reasons for me to buy it.
Anyway it seems that end solution was fairly simple:
- set freq to 3200 manually
- set voltage to 3.5
- everything else is on auto.
It seems that all works stable: did few overall stresses, Raw editing in photoshop, video editing, a bit of gaming, and ram shows 3200 mhz, and benchmark shows 10-15 speed boost from stock speed.
My last tweak was to replace Ryzen stock prism cooler, because it was too loud for my taste, especially with constant spinning up and down.
Yes it looks nice, but my case is closed so no purpose of having disco vent, and Noctua NH-U12S https://noctua.at/en/nh-u12s does much better job with cooling and keeping everything quiet. Idle temps are -5°C lower, and stressed temps are 10°C lower than with stock cooler.
