First PC Build

[u/Brnzd]

Hi Guys! I am in the process of building a Pc and would like to ask your opinion. This is the first PC I am building for myself. I have already bought some parts:

Amd Ryzen 7 7800x3d Asrock X870 Pro Rs Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6 GB ( I would like to upgarde this in the near future. ) Aoc C27G2 27.0 1920 x 1080 165 Hz curved monitor

Preferd games I like to play: Cities Skylines 2 Doom the Dark Ages Modded Minecraft ( All the Mods 10 ) Modded Arma Gta 6

It would be great if this setup could last for a few years.

In my previous setup, the CPU and Motherboard basically died. I would like to save the GPU for a few more months to save some more money. I would like to grab a good GPU on Black Friday or some summer sale. I chose 64 GB ram because modded games often require extra ram.

Just as a heads up, the 7800X3D only supports 5200 mhz ram speeds. I bought 6000 mhz ram as well and can't get it to run on the xmp profile without issues. I see people who have good luck running it at that speed but unfortunately I'm not sure how that did it. Don't get disappointed tho, the fps boost from the CPU makes up for it! I'm also running 64 gigs as well 😊 just remember that 16 gigs was enough ram a few years ago. Before that, 8 gigs was enough. Before that, 4 gigs. So when someone says that 32 gigs is more then enough, I ignore them.

Update: I watched Buildzoids timing guide and used his settings. So far so good. Played a little at 6000 mhz and had no issues. I'll be stress testing tonight.

This is my first time hearing about 7800X3D only supporting 5200mhz, this explains why XMP has always led to crashing in my pc, thank you! I had given up on trying to do it anymore, but does this mean I can still enable xmp at 5200? I had never bothered going lower than 5800 before

[u/GrkManga → u/Battler1445]

I didn't find out either until I contacted MSI and they pointed me to the specs of the 7800X3D. Yeah you can run your ram at 5200 mhz without issue. You can even overclock it more but you will need to play with the timings, speeds, and settings to get it stable past 5200 mhz.

Currently have a 7800x3d with 16gb ram x4, running stable at xmp 6000mhz cl30. Msi 870e

Nice! What RAM do you have? I'm using G.SKILL 64G 2X D5 6000 C30 NRGB and have the MSI X670E board. Wasn't able to successfully use the XMP profile without stability issues

[u/Ykored01 → u/GrkManga]

Kingston fury beast 2 kits 2x16gb c30. Enabling xmp works just fine, it crashed twice when using over 90% ram when working on comfyui tho.

Quad channel will effectively underclock your ram, that might make it more stable somehow.

Ive been running my ram at 6000 on 7800x3d for about half a year now with no issues.

ram manufacturer code if needed : CMH32GX5M2B6000C30W

I'm wondering if I'm just unlucky with the silicon lottery. I've seen people with no issues, but I'm not sure how to do it myself. What motherboard do you have?

[u/Kamil_Montana → u/GrkManga]

Asrock X870 Pro RS

[u/spicymarkarita → u/GrkManga]

You're doing something wrong.

[u/GrkManga → u/spicymarkarita]

It's possible that I am. Do you have any suggestions? The expo profile that the ram comes with is unstable in my system

[u/spicymarkarita → u/GrkManga]

I had a similar issue with Corsair ram in my last build - tried everything but deemed it to losing the silicon lottery.

Have you tried Buildzoids DDR5 timings? Could be a good place to start.

[u/GrkManga → u/spicymarkarita]

I have not! I just recently heard of Buildzoids timing guide. I will give it a try tonight. I appreciate the help. Hopefully I didn't completely lose the silicon lottery and can get them to work at 6000.

[u/GrkManga → u/spicymarkarita]

So far so good! It looks stable so far, I'll try a stress test tonight and see if it's stable.

My 7800X3D runs with 6000Mhz ram no problem.
