So OC have replied. Thanks Sam. They've advised that due to stability issues i need to rethink my memory. I either run 4 sticks with EXPO disabled or switch to 2 sticks of 32GB If I wish to have 64GB. So for now I've decided to swap for 2*16GB sticks @ CAS30.

I have also been told to change the 850X for version without heatshield as the MB already has one but may change this to a 770 too.

So revised build:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Powercolor Radeon RX 7900 XT HellHound 20GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-1AR-PC) = £799.99

Your Paying way to much for 32gb of memory although they have tighter trimmings I would swap out for something below.

I would swap out for something below.

or for the same price get 64GB of 5600, especially since X3D cares less about speed and timings than non-X3D CPUs do.

Thanks Tetras. I was just going by the timings and frequency and maxing out on what i thought I'd need now and in future.

I assume something like this set.

[*] 1 x Corsair Vengeance RGB EXPO 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C40 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMH64GX5M2B5600Z40K) (SKU: MY-4DQ-CS) = £209.99

That's will do it.
