Wow! You and @Derbysieger seem to be getting great performance out of your RAM! I have two sticks of 16GB C16 DDR4 3600 and can only get a 108% rating on the RAM. What’s your secret other than XMP?
(I’m also running a x570 mobo with a 5800X cpu)
I only enabled the XMP profile, nothing more.
This is the RAM I have:

Same, just XMP enabled.
I did notice that when I ran the test just after restarting the PC it fared a lot better than when I ran it after flying DCS…so could be a testing inaccuracy too.

Thanks guys. I was afraid of that. I don’t think my older Kingston HYPERX memory plays nice with the newer architectures. It’ll be up for sale next week.
I went by my local computer store just now and they were sold out of G.Skill Trident Z RAM so out in the parking lot I lucked out on Amazon and found this G.Skill Trident Z NEO 4000Mhz RAM (F4-4000C18D-32GTZN) for the same price and delivered tomorrow! I let you guys know how it turns out. A lot of the reviewers are having great luck with it on their 5950X’s.

Man, I’m confounded now. I just tried my new G.Skill Trident Z NEO 4000Mhz RAM (F4-4000C18D-32GTZN) and it’s getting a 105% RAM rating? WTF? I was expecting closer to a 140% based on you guys’ scores! Yes, X.M.P. (D.O.C.P.) is on.
Could you guys run a free PassMark trial and let me know what RAM score you get? …

I can do that when I turn my PC on next, hopefully within the week.
On absolute terms I think the 4000 CL 18 RAM has ever so slightly higher latency than 3600 CL 16 (9 nanoseconds vs 8.89 nanoseconds I believe) but that shouldn’t be that big a difference.
I know nothing about RAM though and I shouldn’t be listened to…also not sure how accurate that benchmark is.

Exactly. I just tried a run with the RAM set to CL17. Just 1% higher at 106%. How can you guys be getting 140%?
Remember, I WAS running CL16 RAM at 3600Mhz and was getting 108% but I thought that RAM was a bit old so I bought this new stuff. 
I’m starting to think userbenchmark is BS.
Would be cool to find an absolute and free benchmark out there on the interweb.
I mean, I don’t know if it’s just a lucky silicon lottery draw: it says there has been 56k test runs with my memory with an average score of 105%.

I ran the MemoryMark tests in that program and this is what I got on stock Inifinity Fabric 1800 MHz, with my G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-4000C18Q-32GVK downclocked to 3600 MHz (to be in sync: 2x1800 = 3600), but still CL18. 4 sticks

And this is with both RAM clock and IF increased to stay in sync:
RAM: 3733 MHz
Infinity Fabric: 1866 MHz
Otherwise still at the original XMP timings, so CL18

That’s just incredible! I wish I hadn’t seen these results as I’m now searching for the holy grail of RAM LOL! I’m so jealous.
This Infinity Fabric you speak of has me interested. I read that it’s the FCLK setting in the BIOS so I set it to 1800 MHz and downclocked my RAM to 3600MHz and it gave me a 200 point increase in my Memory Mark! My results mirror your’s @Freak. Thanks for the tip!
Do you think we actually have to set FCLK to 1800 MHz since it’s the default? I guess it’s the only way to be sure we’re running 1:1.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see @Bearhedge’s Memory Mark. I’m expecting it’ll be in the 4000’s based on his 99th percentile “God RAM". 
Crazy thing is I didn’t have to buy new RAM after all! At least the RGB in my new RAM makes it look like it’s running faster ha ha!

OK seems there are some underperforming parts on my PC according to UserBenchmark. What can be done to rectify these issues. like for instance my GPU is way under performance level Why is that ?
So it seems there is room for improvement but I just dont see how. is it that these percentiles above mine where under Liguid Nitrogen for testing or something??
EDIT: I see the GPU can be OC but for my SSD the 980 Samsung what can I do to make that faster there is no way to OverClock a SSD is there? I will recheck Samsung Magician for that drive but I scored real low with my D drive Samsung 980… I know why the Samsung Pro scored bat I do not hav a 11th series CPU and it is not in the correct slot as it only works in that ultra fast slot with a 11th series CPU… I am going to experiment and try and get my PC faster here… Must follow the white rabbit.
Don’t make the same mistake as me and go down the userbenchmark rabbit hole.
We have to find a better and free benchmark software.
I only use userbenchmark to compare my results to my previous results to make sure I didn’t screw anything up.
OK Hope we fine a good benchamrk of the entire system. but I did get a better scroe with a massive overclock on the GPU:
