New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.7.1 (May 9, 2020)
- What's New:
- Reworking of all presets for Samsung b-die, Micron e-die, and Hynix CJR(DJR). Improved support for configurations with 4 or 8 RAM modules.
- R-XMP and Calculate EXTREME buttons removed.
- Added new Help and my reviews section, which provides links to my materials in addition to reference information.
- DRAM PCB Revision - select PCB RAM for more accurate calculation of timings. In most cases, it is recommended to use "A0" for better compatibility.
- The "Compare timings (ON/OFF)" button has received updated functionality. It can read not only the timings but also show the state of the timings in a color. Your personal assistant for creating individual presets.
- Added the "New version?" button. - the button allows you to visit the product homepage and read the materials regarding DRAM Calculator for AMD Ryzen CPUs, check for updates, or ask any question.
- Bug fixes and some graphical adjustments.
- Reading timings for all Ryzen family processors (including future Zen3 processors).
- Improved memory support with AMD Ryzen CPUs:
- The changes affected all settings, from procODT to VDDG operating voltage. Another important change is the presence of profiles with odd tCL15, this will eliminate the problems that users have encountered trying to stabilize the system with the value tCL14. Also in this release, the user interaction with the program has been simplified, in particular, 1.7.1 has deleted the R-XMP button (one extra user action). Now the order is as follows:
- The user selects the settings that match his system.
- The user presses the "Calculate SAFE" or "Calculate FAST" button and that is it.

- NEW. CAD_BUS received very flexible settings.
- Thanks to these flexible settings, it is possible to disable GDM (1T mode) without losing stability for Zen 2.
- DR also got the opportunity to disable GDM at low frequencies (up to 3200 MHz inclusive). Compatibility with previous generations is required to be tested.
- Updated function to determine the maximum available memory for testing (Memtest mode). At the moment, the test should not go into drives or a swap file.
- tRDWR has been changed in most profiles, this is a bonus to the chance to get a stable system.
- Most presets received small changes, in particular Micron e-die .
- Improved support for 4 modules.
- Bug fixes.
New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.6.1 (Sep 5, 2019)

- Improved support for low resolution monitors.
- Improved timing calculation when using the Manual profile (as it used to be called Debug).
- Due to numerous requests, the algorithm is partially used from version 1.0.0 beta 3 + significant improvements.
- Changed the frequency limit for Samsung b-die and Hynix CJR. Samsung b-die has no restrictions for the Manual profile.
- MEMbench сalibrations for 3900X and 3950X.
- Bugs fixed
New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.6.0 (Jul 29, 2019)
- Added full support for Zen 2 and X570 motherboards.
- Added recommendations for VDDG and FCLK for Zen 2.
- Added recommendations for Vref (CHA / CHB).
- The maximum frequency for 1:1 mode is now 3800 MHz, and for 2:1 mode - 4200.
- Updated presets for Samsung b-die, Hynix CJR and Micron e-die.
- Added backward compatibility of Zen 2 with previous generations of motherboards.
- Added PMU Training recommendations for all Ryzen platforms. Better training - a more stable system.
- Added autosave of the main tab settings when closing the program and automatically loading them when the program is started.
- Improved tWRRD prediction for Dual Rank.
- Color notification of voltage limits and FCLK. Black is the norm, red is the limit.
- Timing detection for Zen and Zen + generations. For the generation Zen 2 at the moment there is no possibility to add a definition of timings due to NDA. Unfortunately.
- Fixed a lack of presets for X399.
- Fixed a rare error in which it was impossible to calculate the timings.
- Added a button to access the Internet overclocking statistics generation Zen 2.
- For users of Intel systems in the “Additional Calculators” section, it is possible to calculate tREFI and RTL IO-L.
- Added 2 new latency tests for MEMbench. Custom latency is a memory access test that the processor cannot predict (using a specific offset). Random latency - the average time is measured for random memory accesses in a buffer of a certain size. Partially affects the result of TLB. Both versions are release candidates, but I do not deny that there will be calibrations.
- Custom latency and Random latency are included in the Easy and Default packages. Please note that during testing the program will open / close the prompt itself (you do not need to deal with it).
- Added information about the size of the L3 cache processor. Also, the size of the test blocks for latency tests is controlled relative to it.
- Added button Clear standby. There is to clean the cached memory by the operating system. Didn't the test run? - Click Clear standby.
- Max RAM button better determines the amount of free memory available for testing. Useful for checking memory for errors.
- There are exceptions for many functions. Fault tolerance of the program increased.
- Graphic edits.

New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.4.1 (Jan 18, 2019)
- Added a window with information about the minimum voltage for SOC
- Major updated presets for : samsung b-die , samsung d/e-die , hynix cjr , hynix mfr , hynix cjr (timings, voltages)
- Minor updated other presets (timings)
- Some corrections for debug profile
- Other corrections/bug fixes
- Nuances:
- In some presets tRC a multiple of tRFC (better stability and performance)
- Hynix MFR V2 profile has been deleted (many users had difficulty choosing the right profile)
- tWR's basic recommendation is now 12 (this high timing timing adversely affects stability)
- RTT_NOM . Newer BIOS versions should not always have RZQ / 7 (34ohm), sometimes the RZQ/6(40ohm) or disabled has better stability
- CAD_BUS. AddrCMDDrvStr slightly increases with the frequency of the RAM, 24-30(ohm) are the optimal value.
- New bios allow a slight decrease in SOC voltage (that's why I created a window with information about the minimum voltage)
New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.4.0.1 (Nov 22, 2018)
- Fixed Gear Down bug
- Some correction DRAM voltages for OEM
- Some correction Soc voltages for frequencies that are below 3333 MHz
- Program signature fixed
New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.4.0 (Oct 12, 2018)
- Initial support Threadripper gen 1 and gen 2
- Improved SOC voltage prediction for different processors and their generations
- Additional window that will tell what minimum DRAM voltage is needed by the system
- Additional windows that show a nanosecond delay for the current calculated profile. It will be especially useful for users who are reflashing SPD
- Improved prediction procODT + RTT + CAD_BUS for some memory (the block has endured many changes)
- Improved overclocking for Hynix CJR . Up to 3800 MHz inclusive. Big thanks @Reous for the help
- A switch has been added to define system tasks, BGS / BGSalt recommendations depend on it. Turning off BGS allows you to increase gaming performance by up to 5%
- The "Custom" profile will be based solely on the data that is placed in XMP. Its new name is "Debug". Mode designed from scratch, available for almost all chips (but still need some time for a more subtle configuration).I think this mode is needed for professionals who want to see all the changes relative to automatic overclocking or XMP profile. This will allow them to see some nuances that can not provide the profiles of "V1" and "V2".Also, this mode will be useful to owners of systems based on Intel processors.
- Some changes in procODT + RTT for systems in which 4 RAM SR modules
- Added support for Micron D-die
- Changes in the code that will help speed up the development of the calculator (future versions)
- Added some popup tips for key settings

- some correction in micron e-die preset
- picture "b-die termination" in folder
- geardown bug fix
- minor bug fix
New in DRAM Calculator for Ryzen 1.3.0 (Sep 24, 2018)
- Fast preset more optimized, I advise you to start with it
- added initial support Hynix CFR (18nm), Micron E-die (16nm)
- substantially reworked most of the presets (timings, procODT, RTT, voltages)
- the "custom profile" now works a little differently, in most cases the XMP data is simply not compatible with Ryzen, so some timings are calculated according to a special algorithm. My opinion, importing a profile in most cases will not be successful anyway, AMD and Intel controllers have huge architectural differences and signal tolerances.
- combined Samsung e-die / d-die (v1 profile d-die, v2 - e-die)
- Extreme preset got a new life (I remind you that any memory requires additional cooling, if the memory heats above 52 degrees the system loses stability. AMD I have notified.)
- Overclocking potential DRAM is back for samsung b-die (for other chips, support will be added later)
- the combination for procODT + RTT now has more accurate recommendations for frequencies, with a change in frequency, these parameters change
- some items have been removed (for example, the recommendations have become smaller, DQS str + Data drive has been removed because most motherboards do not have these settings. These settings work only on ASUS CH6 / 7)
- new AGESA brought some changes in the power supply (PMU) for SOC / DRAM, the difference between generations of processors I did not see, because the choice of processor generation was removed
- appeared protection from stupid situations, when memory is not capable of working at the desired frequency, but the calculator gives suggestions
- added Help tab with 4 button (Overclocking Statistics + Information support)
- adaptation for older versions of Windows
- small UI changes
- TRFC2/4 now painted in gray color, that is, I do not recommend using them
- bug fixing
- in the folder with the program now there is a picture, it is a methodical tool to help you set up the system
