ASUS motherboards in 7800x3d configuration
I still prefer to avoid ASUS boards mainly because of their high cost relative to performance and the recent BIOS updates that don’t support memory properly—like the 6000 model seems faulty, while 6200 and 5800 work. They’re safe if you buy them together, but choosing from another manufacturer usually gives you a better overall setup for the price.
You can purchase them if needed. Just ensure the BIOS is updated before enabling XMP; your Corsair 6000 32GB will function properly with the X670E-E.
Well then you seem to favor the idea that "6000 won<|pad|>"won't work." Individuals with 6000 RAM won't seek help in the troubleshooting area... Similar to the recent case when several 4090 units arrived at a repair shop with damaged CableMod connectors... People often jump to conclusions like "CableMod connectors must have a design issue" or "more 4090 units melted due to 12VHPWR." Turns out, the problem came from CableMod sending those units to the shop improperly. Anyway, now you know a real example where it did work. I'm sure many others experienced the same. In short, if it's on the QVL, it should function with the motherboard. If someone loves Asus, they should consider buying from them—even if it's a bit expensive. (We ended up getting ours because the Asus board here was actually the most affordable... at least it was on sale then)
Fair point, though I’d still argue that if more than a handful of users report problems with ASUS boards and only those without prior issues did, it’s reasonable to suggest ASUS might have introduced a flaw in their recent BIOS updates. I’m certain it functions, as one of my friends has a working ASUS board. That said, I won’t dive too deeply into the details, but making such a claim isn’t something to take lightly. There are numerous kits on the QVL that consistently fail despite significant effort, often using a CPU with a golden configuration. ASUS generally performs better than Gigabyte and ASRock in this area, though their QVLs tend to be very accommodating, with many kits failing to meet XMP requirements.
