I'm going AMD for the FIRST time since 1994!

The only thing I would change is the ram. I have never found Corsair and AMD was a good match. All the issues I have ever had since x370 has been with Corsair ram.

I'd go for the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo stuff myself.

No issues here with my Corsair ram and AMD on expo1 , just check it's on their approved memory list for the motherboard in question and you are 100% good to go.

My main memory brands are Corsair and Crucial for all my PCs.

Never had issues with Corsair RAM on AMD either, ran 4x 16GB sticks of DDR4 3200 Corsair Dominator Platinum on a 5950X (3yrs with this CPU) and 5800X3D (1yr with this CPU), ran 24/7 all year round and not single issue with an Asus X570 board. Now running 2x 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum at 6000 CL30 and for the last 2 months it's been on 24/7 again and not a single issue, also on an Asus board, X670E Hero. I selected EXPO 1 and that was it.

All installed, cpu n all!

I'm on EXPO 2, so not sure if that makes a difference on my Expo ram :p

Temps are around 45C in windows, 62-70C in games which is a lot higher than my 10900K, but then this performs like a BEAST!

Only thing, why does it take so damn long to boot up every time to Windows? My 10900K was instant! This seems to take ages, the lights go BIOS , DDRAM, GPU and it loads fine after it does its full check.

It should not take that long, mine takes 1m 40 secs and that's with 64GB and expo1 mode, using 7800X3D/Asus B650E Gaming E board and 7900XT card, upgraded last year from Intel z68 board and Intel i5 2500k CPU which I built back in 2011.

Bootup time does not bother me as I leave it on all day and turn it off at night(bedtime) so memory training not an issue, btw for best stability turn off fast bootup in BIOS under boot section, as well as fast startup in Windows 10/11.

I assume it's this?


Other than that, I'm blown away by the performance of this CPU in games :eek:

Memory training, it can be disabled somewhere or other in the BIOS for anything other than a full reset. I can only assume AMD added it as a precaution as early Ryzen chips had trouble reaching the overclock ram speeds that were stated on the EXPO/XMP I had one of those a 3900 the sweet spot was 3600mhz but couldn't get near that assumed the ram was faulty it wasn't it was IMC on the cpu they were flaky in the early days, they've been no problem since 5xxx though so not sure why AMD introduced this for AM5 maybe for OEM reasons

I've noticed if I disable memory training on my Asus X670E Hero reboots and cold starts are instant, but after a certain period of time which could be a few weeks or perhaps it's based on the ammount of reboots, the board will do memory training once which takes about a minute or so with 64GB. After that it's instant again for a long time.

Don't mind it doing that as it's quite rare but for example if I had to reboot many times in a row without powering it off I'd really hate to have to wait a minute or two each time. Really hope this ridiculous problem gets removed one day, DDR6 maybe.

The Am486 is a 80486-class family of computer processors that was produced by AMD in the 1990s.

Anyway, I've been testing this 7800X3D since I got it and it's so far stable at -30 PBO! Been playing a lot of The Witcher 3 Ultra+, DayZ and Delta Force and it's well beyond my expectations! So much better than the I9 10900K!
