Hello!
I currently have:
Mobo: ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI BIOS 2007
CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S
GPU: RTX 4080
RAM: 64GB (4 x 16GB) Vengeance at 5200MHz C40
PSU: XPG Cybercore Platinum 1300w

I’m considering upgrading to the 9800X3D and possibly the 5080 Super when it comes out. Would this RAM/mobo/fan setup be problematic? The timings and speeds seem slow, and I wasn’t told that filling all four RAM slots isn’t recommended. So I think a CL36 or a 30 2x32GB 5600/6000 would be a better choice.
I really need more RAM for video editing.

Could two 32GB sticks of 5600C36 or C30 work with that processor? Would the current mobo support such memory with the latest BIOS, especially since there are some memory issues reported with the 9800X3D?

Also, I’m wondering if the 5080 Super would work with the adapter from 3 to 12VHP because my PSU doesn’t have a native HPW out. I don’t want to switch to the Cybercore 2, which seems to be another model using the same PSU with 12VHPW.

Thanks!

I would keep the CPU cooler and MoBo. The CPU cooler is sufficient for the R7 9800X3D, and MoBo is also a good choice with 18+2+2 VRM phases rated for 110A. Yes.
Two 32GB maximum speed RAMs would provide 6400 MT/s. You might even consider faster RAM options.
However, if you need certainty that the RAM will function properly, choose the model mentioned in memory QVL:

For example, a Kingston KF564C32RSAK2-64 running at 6400 MT/s would work well. It should be acceptable.

Wasting effort on replacing your high-quality PSU is unnecessary because of the absence of a dedicated +12V-2x6 PCI-E power cable.
