My current rig is:

6700xt

1600AF

32 giggle bits of DDR4

1TB NVME storage

I didn't think it was a bad rig but steam games take forever to load, it spins on the steam logo for what feels like an eternity. I use Arch btw.

I believe the sweet spot for Matisse and Vermeer (zen 2 and 3 chiplet design CPUs) memory wise is 3600 CL16. Later batches of these CPUs may have better luck with stability at 3800 MT/s (due to process maturity) but that would be at a point of diminishing returns (especially with the X3D).

You might improve the performance of your current CPU by tuning your memory, but I won't know how far you can get with your kit unless we have the exact model number.

The 1600AF seems to be zen+ based (characteristically similar to the Ryzen 5 2600). For zen+, something like 3200 MT/s CL14 would be optimal if you can achieve it, 3200 CL16 would be good too.
