its ok mate, its back on now 
you helped, thanks
you helped, thanks
Think my ram is almost the same but 5600 at 1.25v vs 6000 at 1.35v:
Which EXPO profile are you using, I use profile 1 but profile 2 sets more values.

expo 1
tried expo 2 as well i think

yes i know, as said , testing lol
need to put the other stick back in

ordered my RAM
took me ages trawling through lots of websites etc
I've ordered
www.overclockers.co.uk
Hynix Chipset
5600 though, but that one is on the compatibility list
the other one i looked at was "pre Order"

i couldn't wait and saved £150

They aren’t likely to be able to test every single RAM. I suspect if it is something similar to what is on that list then it will be fine.
Asus do at least, one of the reasons you pay more upfront for the motherboards IMO. Checking the QVL page for my z690 hero for example, over 80 different kits on QVL list. Probably dozens that didn't pass QVL not on the list.
I'm a firm believer of "if it's not on QVL list, it doesn't go in my basket". Though this is due to me needing the XMP/EXPO to work out of the box, as I don't have time these days to tune all the settings (voltage, primary, secondary and tertiary timings take ages to test!)
Had fun testing my new 7700X over weekend. In a Gigabyte B650M Elite AX motherboard and with DDR5 6400
The good:
Apparently this is a very good sample, although only had time to test near stock settings
Runs at -40 all core CO. So basically runs pegged to 5.5GHz all the time, mostly at or below 1.17V, never see more than 1.225V. Insane how high the stock voltages (and temps) go. Tested with core cycler and general usage over two days, stable. Interesting how far will individual cores go.
FCLK 2167 and RAM 6400 work without a hitch, will be tightening timings next.
The bad:
5500MHz C-state limit is quite restrictive. This CPU has stock boost ceiling at 5550MHz, but reaches it only when all stars align and only on best two cores. Means upping additional PBO clock has almost zero effect
Smells like dirty play by AMD. All review benchmarks were done on previous bios versions where there was no limit and CPUs boosted higher. Results for 7700X won't change much, but I imaging 7900X and 7950X would be quite a bit lower in gaming benchmarks.
Will be exploring BCLK 101-102 to manually up this limit.
The random:
Using integrated grahpics to run the second screen and offload hardware acceleration for video player and browsers. Plan to test in a benchmark whether that makes a difference when playing youtube on second screen.
Elite is a lower tier motherboard, so fewer bios options than i was used to. But everything important is there, and it is a solid 8-layer board, recommend.

Just wondering which 7000 series people got (and why)? I'm pondering over which one to get.
Also did people get the X or non-X version? A lot of the reviews I watch/read seem to recommend the non-versions.
Does anyone know if b650 motherboard support XMP for RAM or do they only support EXPO?
Is 6000 RAM a necessity because of ratios or will 5200 work perfectly well?

For a gaming only PC I would go for the 7700 none-X + 32GB 5600 RAM + B650/E. The performance difference between 5200 and 6000 is not that much but 5600 is within a few % and cheaper. Think the AM5 board support XMP as well although its called D.O.C.P.
I got a 7950X+B650E+32GB 5600, but I use the PC for work as well.

Intel is DOCP
AMD is EXPO
You'll notice when buying RAM you will see Intel xmp

7700x purely based on reviews for gaming. I bought it towards the back end of November last year prior to the non-X being released. I've paired with a MSI MAG Tomahawk B650, Corsair 5600 RAM, and the ASRock 6900xt OCUK deal!
I've only played MW2 and it does plenty enough for me at 1440p. May possibly do some work-related 3D structural engineering modelling, only when my work laptop can't handle it/takes to long to calculate.
As above. It was always going to be temporary as I built my pc in Nov as I had no pc at all but wanted the 3D CPU ultimately. I figured the 7700 may be easier to sell second hand than the 7600 but that's just me speculating.
