I have a way to get info you shouldn't be able to have without actually cheating

CSGO really doesn't run that well with Ryzen CPU's in general. Ryzen can't use just one single core due to the new zen architecture. There are (2) four-cour CCX's. If it's a 4 core, they are separated 2+2, One CCX for each pair. If it's 6 cores its usually 3+3. The two core platforms work together to lower latency. They can't work single thread like Intel CPU's, but each CCX has an 8MG L3 cache, which more than makes up for it, especially during long gaming sessions. Now with that being said, Ryzen CPU's do have the potential to perform better than it's relative Intel core CPU's, they just prefer fast memory speeds (between 2966-3200Mhz DDR4 RAM). The L3 caches in Ryzen's CCX's work at optimal performance with higher DRAM speeds. It helps reduce overall latency while the two core platforms are communicating with eachother. This makes whatever OS you use run fast, smooth and efficient, as well as running 300+FPS gameplay. With your Ryzen 2600 the cores are split up 3+3, so it demands fast memory. You actually have some options here. Fisrt, it's crucial that you upgrade your memory to at the very least 2966Mhz, but in my experience they tend to work the best with 3200Mhz with a stable overclock. Just go by what your motherboard can handle. If you're strapped for cash, you can always go into your BIOS and select the XMD Profile option, which is an overclock profile that adjusts speed latency and voltage to the memory automatically, which is just basically so it runs as fast as it says it should. If for some reason those options do not work, you can try running all 6 cores on one CCX platform if you are strictly gaming. The downside to this is you will be cutting your L3 cache in half from around 19Mb to roughly 8 or 9Mb, so Broadcasting and some background tasks might not respond as fast as they should because of the 6 cores being on one platform while the other is disabled. You can find this option in your bios in your zen common folder called downcore control. Instead of the default 3+3 option, choose 6+0 and the other platform is disabled. This is just a temporary option if the others fail (which it won't, hopefully).. If you are unfamiliar with UEFI overclocking just go into your bios and start browsing and looking in all of the folders. You won't hurt anything as long as you don't save the changes if you think you made some by mistake. Restore to default settings if you're still unsure and try again. For the most part everything is self-exclamatory and shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. I guarantee that you will be amazed at how fast CSGO will run once you update/overclock your RAM. Soo, yeah. in a nutshell, just upgrade your memory and set a good fan curve for the CPU/Chassis fans in the BIOS and you should be running 240+FPS consistently. Remember to save the overclock and settings to its own profile just in case the profile doesn't boot, which after 5 tries it boots with default settings. Sorry for the novel, hope this helps you and other Ryzen users out. It sure did help me. I'm running 3200Mhz RAM overclocked to 4000Mhz @ 1.37v with a Ryzen 5 1600x. I went from an average 121 FPS to well over 240+ FPS and lower latency and smoother gameplay. Ok I'm done, and good day to you.
