guys still AM5 is longer boot time duration ? have anyone tried new BIOS versions ? Enabling memory context restore, yes it will work but without it have any manufacturer fix this problem ? i didnt follow it since 4-5 months. just searching about this.

Currently my BIOS is: 1709 - SMU: 84.79.223 - ROG STRIX X670E-E

thanks.

Not having long boots since I first built in Nov 2022 tbh. Using whatever is latest now, same mobo as you.

I have a basket of this currently:
7800x3d
Corsair vengeance 32GB 6000CL30
Corsair TM30 paste
ASU’s TUF gaming B650plus
Coolermaster Masterliquid 240
SN850X 2TB

Does that work?

Looking at my Sig that's a very similar build to me that I've had since October. Been absolutely brilliant as far as I'm concerned and you shouldn't have any issues. I upgraded from a 6700k and a 1080 graphics card and it's been a night and day difference for gaming with an extra 100fps in my games at 1440p.

Tempted to get the Thermalright phantom spirit instead of an AIO. Decisions.

I use a Noctua D15S air cooler and under Cinebench r23 10 minute run my package temp gets to 87.1C and cores get to 84.7C. Still within the safe 89C range.

If you can get around the finicky fan mount the Thermalright Frost Commander 140 is the best air cooler on the market.

I’m torn on cooling at the moment. Anywhere from air to a 360 radiator. I do quite like the hot air to be directly kicked out of the case.

The model I mentioned cools up to 240W, it's a beast.

Oh I like that. Cheap too. Should hopefully fit in my case. The metal clips should help with ram clearance I guess. Worst case I can return it if it doesn’t fit my case.

Love the black version.

The metal fastening clips are annoying but it's a real beast at little more than half the price of the Noctua.

Can I use this ram? It doesn’t have the RGB and so I’d hope the clearance for the heatsink fan would be better.

If it isn't on the QVL I'd get an EXPO kit, though XMP does usually work.

Quoting Tom's Hardware:
In it’s default configuration, the Frost Commander 140 doesn’t interfere with RAM slots, as the fans are on the back and middle of the unit. However, if you use the fan on the front of the unit, RAM compatibility is limited to 42mm. But you can raise the fan a few mm to accommodate larger RAM sizes without impacting cooling performance.

Cool, probably this then:

Isn't zen 5 out in June? Bit barmy to buy a 7800x3d now?

7800x3d will likely be beaten only by 9800x3d

That’s the big question, but then I am going from a 9700k. So either way it’s huge.

Not up to speed on the DDR5 ram, what's this EXPO? A replacement for DOCP on AMD?
