"Ryzen 3600 RAM Boost Improves Gaming Performance"

  • The Ryzen 3600 was initially struggling due to running the systems in their default configuration with RAM at 2666 megahertz. After setting the RAM to its maximum speed of 3000 megahertz, gaming performance improved slightly, especially at 1440p.
  • Contacting the AliExpress seller, Ibsen, about shipping damage resulted in a $20 offer as compensation, which was deemed insufficient. Despite similar gaming performance from AliExpress systems, issues like shipping damage and RAM problems persist, making them a risky purchase.
  • A local Canadian PC shop, Canada Computers, offers a system with identical core specifications (Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 500GB NVMe SSD) at a lower cost than AliExpress, without shipping concerns. Consider this option over AliExpress for a more reliable purchase.
