Yes, stock speed for 2 sticks on a 7600X is 5200, see here. 6000 is an overclock, but very likely to run fine, with sensible timings.

Just hold off untill you really need to, no point in spending the money otherwise, I only jumped onto am5 because my am4 motherboard broke, spend money on a better monitor or something, then play catchup, I was lucky with a B-grade UHD IPS144hz monitor, for £400 (should have been over a grand) and was chasing 144 fps for a while, until having to replace my pc, and going all in with a 4090 on top of it all, now I get 144 fps @ UHD in classic wow raids, and I consider myself done with spending money, phew! what a ride!

woot we started the build earlier and last components like psu and nvme drives should be here tomorrow 
before the good pics heres his old one lol
all hail a extremly old 30 quid case
now for the good stuff
we made a good start on it tonight and both getting super excited, got him to buy a second fan for his cpu cooler as it has the brackets for a second one and got him to buy a noctua

could really do with that filter kit for the case in my 011d evo case. the dust where i am is staggering. i see you got some NT-H2 thermal paste by the look. didn't the cpu cooler come with any preinstalled? I give it a month tops before your Dad buys a new gpu to go with all that nice new kit to really unlock that cpu potential....

hehe cheers, just wondering how long till he gets a 2k monitor and a better card, im loving the rgb on the cpu cooler
think thats it more or less finished, his dcs world loads in about 2 seconds instead of 5 minutes lol
thanks again for the advice guys
heres a vid of it running with rgb set up
www.youtube.com
when he does decide to upgrade the cpu the cooler comes off super easy, just 2 thumbscrews
edit: just tweaking to do now and check temps etc im guessing hw monitor is still the go to one for monitoring such things?

oh oh first possible problem and its self inflicted, i told him to install win 10 but he wanted it win 11 same as his laptop, looks like theres a plethora of issues with his flight stick on win 11 https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/pro...e-flight-simulator-controller.945-000003.html looks like logitech bought out saitek and possibly dropped the ball on support for win 11 
he is really loving the new pc apart from that, seems to be running expo settings at 6000 with out a hitch so far with the corsair mem
what free bench mark do people use to test the cpu temps nowadays?

Higher-end Akasa cooler, don't see many of those
was downstairs with him and looking at coolers and that one caught his eye, looks sweet as hell but the tdp is only about 200 or something at most but got him to buy a noctua fan to stick on the back of it as it had the wire clip things for a second one and he knows he will need to upgrade the cooler when he gets a new cpu, his current cpu is 105 tdp
oh do all am5 motherboards come with a back bracket for coolers preinstalled?
edit: ran prime 95 on it for a wee bit and a core and something else got to 95 c, but thats in spec with am5 chips from what i hear? i still crapped it a bit and ended the test when a 2nd core started to hit it, no game on this planet will hit that usage lol
all cores were hitting max boost and the mem test ran fine on prime 95 as well, think his cpu cooler cost about 40 quid and hes just spent the last 30 mins when i was testing it telling me how happy he is with his new pc and i changed the front rgb fan settings to see what the case buttons did, every thing from cpu cooler and mem and front fans is synchronised now
for some reason steam notifications were massive and going of the side of the monitor, i remembered some thing like that from using my tv as a monitor for watching stuff sometimes, straight to radeon gpu settings and gpu scaling and fixed, shouldnt encounter any more problems like that tonight hes off to bed soon, not sure why his done that since only one monitor has ever been connected on a new win 11 install

I like akasa use them for industrial applications at work always highly reliable and well priced with excellent build quality.
Used to be quite big in the pc scene but they've gone "out of fashion"
When I get round to my boys pc I want to use their Soho aio, but no one seems to have reviewed it... Which means it's either rubbish, or no one's bothered reviewing it as they aren't in fashion.
They must be selling enough of them around the globe though to bother still producing them
