7800X 3D Ram Recommendation

[Columbo]

So its been a while since I built my last setup (in sig) and am sieorusly thinking about going the above route with a B650 board.
However when it comes to ram I remember a while back there were some compatibility issues / performance issues with DDR5.

Is this still the case? I'll probably be going for 32gb of 6000mhz DDR5 unless thats not the sweet spot.
Any advice appreciated.

2 sticks of 6000 is mostly fine, though there have been a few cases on the forums of EXPO not working.

4 sticks is not a good idea.

I went for 2x 16Gb of Klevv Bolt V series 6000mhz C30 and while it was not on the motherboards QVL list (which never gets updated anyway) it was a Expo set. I chose it because it was minimalistic while looking great and had no RGB plus it was cheap and I know they use quality chips from reading reviews. I had a problem at first with bluescreens which I thought was due to the memory but actually turned out to be because I enabled memory context restore which I soon learnt causes more problems that it solves. Once disabled that the memory has been rock solid at it's Expo 1 setting. It has three settings, Expo 1 which is 6000 C30, Expo 2 which is 6000 C3 enhanced, Expo 3 which is 6000 C30 Tweaked. Settings 2 and 3 tighten the timings up a couple of extra stages. I really should give them a go but everything is rock solid and I don't want to jinx it.

seems most people.. myself included go for the GSkill Trident Z5 Neo CL30 sticks

@pastymuncher the memory context store is only useful to decrease boot times right? such as the MSI which is known to be slow to boot

Thanks guys, I'd actually not thought about the CAS settings tbh.
a lot seem to be C32, is there a decent enough difference between CAS 30 & 32 to ensure hunting a C30 kit is worth it?

I'll obviously be gaming as my main usage but do photo / video editing as well purely as a hobby but might be worth mentioning.

You won’t notice the difference.

A better solution would be to manually overclock the RAM you have to improve performance over just buying a new kit of RAM. Save your money.

I’ll see if I can find a DDR5 overclocking guide for you.

Yes, on my board it was reduced from around 45 seconds to 15 seconds but made the system extremely unstable. I can live with 45 seconds, it's not the end of the world and the pc is rock solid stable now. Thanks to LtMatt I have even tweaked the 7800x3d with a slight overclock and a decent undervolt.

If it helps, I picked up a Corsair 6000 c30 expo kit (not the rgb one) for not much more than a C36 kit. It's definitely snappier than C36, but I doubt if notice the difference vs c32.

I went with Corsair 6000 CL30. The price difference was negligible compared to other components.

This?

Good price but rather go for 42GB, just for future expansion (since you shouldn't have four sticks) and loss in money selling etc

I soon learnt causes more problems that it solves.

such as?

such as?

Yeah a bit strange, normally MCR enabled causes all the problems, having it disabled shouldnt cause any problems at all.

Enabled = bios recycles old training data and doesnt always get it right, but also requires power down enabled to be enabled which hurt latency in windows.

Disabled = full memory train on each boot, should be rock solid stable.

It's very strange because I typed it the wrong way around. In my head it read like I wanted it to read but just looking at it again I typed disabled when I meant enabled and vice versa. Apologies for the confusion, it's now been corrected to read as I meant it to read.
