This one is also supported and is probably a better option although it doesnt do EXPO.

Yes they are normally Hynix, there are 6000MT/s kits available as well at a similar price I believe.

Same. Actually just found one at £168.35 inc del. Feeling this was quite the gamble as it was the last one in stock, so probably a return.

I wouldn’t mind knowing this myself.
*** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***
Wonder why they need to drop power down hmm Is it safe guarding itself from combusting? It is losing performance because it can't sustain it ?? Ever thought of that ?

Im using that board with a 7800X3D its a solid choice.
Depends on what features you want really, since there isn't really any boards that will give you any extra performance.
RAM some 6000 MT/s stuff, from about £95 for 2x 16GB with Hynix chips for easy timing tightening.
I think the MSI would fit the bill nicely and has the features I need however, what memory/brand do you suggest?

I have the F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5RK but not sure if this set would work with AMD?

I keep forgetting to do that... happy days, just the chip and board for me then!
Any news on the fix for the 7800X3D burn outs?

I don’t think there is a solid fix yet. Just flash latest bios and keep an eye on SOC voltages. MSI does seem to be the least affected but that could be a lucky coincidence.
Is it just on EXPO memory, as my kit is mainly XMP... or is it a new bug in the latest BIOS update?
