Looks like this listing went down the day the Tom's Hardware article was published. The item would have been bought by whichever competitor was able to put together a (relatively) untraceable payment first.

Once upon a time, a little girl found a corporation by the side of a river, crying. "Why are you crying?" asked the little girl. "Because [the corporation replied] I must cross the river, and I can't swim!" So the little girl put the corporation on her back, and swam across the river...

Always sounded like it wasn't coming to US in any case. I hadn't heard that memory was pared down to 10GB.

I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G on an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard, with 2x16GB G Skill DDR4 3600 CL16 (b-die). I use the apu's igpu for 1080p gaming, and I bought the G Skill to overclock, in order to optimize igpu/Infinity Fabric performance. Things are going pretty well, sort of. On one...

Thanks very much for this, question answered.

Is this AGESA update supposed to improve any AM4/DDR4 improvements? The promo materials mention "improved stability" without specifying AM5 and/or DDR5, but I don't see anyone talking about AM4/DDR4 improvements (or failures). I guess it's last-gen platform and components, but I'm still trying...

I've found that, on my Asus Prime B550-PLUS, AI Tweaker settings are more stable than AMD Overclocking settings. That includes cpu and memory overclocks. Having said that, I haven't spent as much time with AMD Overclocking as I have with AI Tweaker. Honestly, I just want whichever one I use...

As someone else mentioned, it may be labeled "DOCP" in BIOS. I've got a different board and socket (Asus Prime B550-PLUS, AM4), but I enter DOCP/XMP voltage and primary timings manually without issues. Should work for you.

That's a very good point, I hadn't realized that this release is related to the recent AGESA update. Does AGESA include most/all of most AMD boards' Advanced settings, or is it just the settings included under AMD Overclocking (and maybe AMD CBS)? edit: I'm actually undecided whether to stick...

I've got an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G apu and 2x16GB of G Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16. I've been working on overclocking the RAM, with 4000 as my target. The RAM passes 3+ hours of OCCT stress testing at 4000 (after getting through memtest86 at stock), which...

Only way to be sure is to try it yourself. Congrats!

I wish I had those timings! My Ripjaws are 16-19-19-39. Looser than those b-dies, but tighter than the Corsair. Thanks very much for timings btw. I'm still undecided about whether to tighten 3600mhz timings, or work to get 2000 FCLK, like I did with the CL18 Corsair, but with better timings...

Thank you for reminding me about ratio, I keep forgetting about DDR. Sorry if I confused anyone. I did more reading about my new build (general AMD stuff + Ryzen-specific info), and went ahead and swapped the Corsair RAM out for 2x16GB G Skill Ripjaws V 3600 CL16, which is dual rank (if CPUZ...

I've got a kind of niche need in terms of monitors. I just built a new, inexpensive rig with an AMD 5600G. I don't have a graphics card yet. I mostly play old games like SupCom 1/2 and StarCraft 2, plus newer ones like Factorio, at 1080p, and the 5600G's igpu does an amazing job of running...

It sounds like RAM/fclk stress-testing should involve simultaneous use of high-demand programs (e.g. 3+ hours of Prime95 Large FFTs and OCCT VRAM test at the same time). Is that how folks are testing their RAM/fclk overclocks?
