Did you order it from OcuK?

This kit should work fine and be plug and play when you apply the EXPO profile.

Is there much difference if any between this kit and the G.Skill one.
 
I've been away testing for a few days since getting the 7800X3D and I've just come back to the thread and it's interesting to read everyone's comments.

When I installed the 7800X3D, I went balls to the wall so to speak :cry: and applied a new 1408 bios to my ASUS TUF Gaming X670E plus, curve optimization set to all core -25, and with the help of LtMatt, managed to dial in my memory settings.. It was achieving great FPS in BF2042. - YouTube playlist..

But speaking as a rookie, I did too much too soon, without taking the time to methodically test overall system stability, as I was experiencing crashes where my system would grind to a halt and freeze during the most perfect game.. :rolleyes:

So back to square one. Everything set to default in 1408 bios again, except for EXPO enabled. Run this for a while to check stability and then apply changes bit by bit.

I now know what FPS I have been able to achieve. So that's a good tweaked baseline to build back up to.

I've got a few questions..

I tried the new Asus setting of ‘expo tweaked’, which seems to be a mix of Expo I and II. If anyone is struggling with Expo I it looks like a good option to try.

It took my Time Spy scores up compared to Expo II.

Time Spy score Expo II : 29,185
Time Spy score Expo Tweaked : 29,594

Time Spy GPU Expo II : 36,728
Time Spy GPU Expo Tweaked : 36,786

Time Spy CPU Expo II : 13,488
Time Spy CPU Expo Tweaked : 14,040
How's the stability? When I applied EXPO 2 or EXPO tweaked to my setup I just kept getting BSOD's.

The memory I have installed is: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 6000 cl30 expo. SKU CMT32GX5M2B6000Z30K.

Anyone knows if we can claim Jedi: Survivor Game Bundle with the 7800x3d orders? As its not on the list, but in US, they are offering it.
I wrote directly to AMD rewards support to ask them the same thing on 13/04 and this was the reply I got.

"Unfortunately our AMD Radeon 7800X3D CPU is not an eligible processor for our current promotion.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

AMD Rewards Support"

Have they suddenly changed their mind? I hope so. :D

That's what mine hits without any manual OC.
Interesting. Have you applied EXPO settings?

You could refer them to their terms and conditions where its showing that the 7800x3d is eligible.
 
Let us know if anything changes, but you can also email OC CS team and they will probably help more, as the retailers are the ones who give the codes.
Ok. Cool. So I need to get the code direct from OCUK as I purchased the 7800X3D through them.

Did you get a code?

I think that's what I bought. Not on the QVL list but I'm hoping it's ok.

Fantastic. Two working drives (one gen3) in m2_1 and the other in m2_3 don’t work when the gen3 drive is in m2_4.

I changed the config to leave a gen5 slot free for the future.

Now on m2_2 and m2_4 and the one in m2_4 isn’t detected. This is an Asus x670e-a rog strix. Is there something I need for enable in the bios to make this work or is it potentially faulty.
