Here is an update with the memory upgrade.  It was somewhat disappointing...  I was only able to get 26 H/S for my threadripper 1950X with the quad channel and yet my dual channel ram was getting 28 H/S.  What is interesting is i then tried 8 sticks (4GB each) of dual channel ram at a much lower speed b/c stock speed would not boot, I was able to gain 1 more H/S (29 H/S). I was able to boost to +2 H/s (30 H/S) at a higher clock speed but my system crashed after an hour.  This coin is depended on memory performance!  I am no overclocker so I am up for tips.  These 8 sticks of 4GB are running at 3066 MHZ, but are rated for 3600 and I boosted to voltage to 1.45V (stock is 1.35V).

Also I am running GPUs mining another coin on this rig, so if you remove this from your setup, you might be able to run the memory at the higher speed for the extra 1/2 H/S.  Balancing GPU, CPU and system memory is an art!


I experienced similar instances when I mined Verium. I will review what changes I made to optimize the hash related to RAM.
