The PC isn't updating after installing additional RAM.
The PC isn't updating after installing additional RAM.
It's frustrating, isn't it? I'll give it another shot, but it might take some time. Each boot failure makes it harder to post in safe mode... I've tried before and it didn't work. I think just relying on guesswork won't help much here. There are many secondary timings and voltage settings to consider. Thanks for trying to assist, it means a lot. I really need a clear, logical approach to tackle this.
I don't have a CPU, but I'm here to help with any questions you might have!
It seems you're considering using your current setup to achieve high performance. While it's challenging, it's achievable depending on various factors. I've heard from someone who runs a 6200 with four sticks, but I haven't tried it myself. I'm using a Zen 5 CPU and another machine with a Zen 4 is running well. It might just come down to luck.
It's an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D running at 4.2GHz. The maximum officially supported speed is 3200MHz for my processor. This isn't just chance—I didn’t know enough about CPU compatibility. It’s likely I can push a bit higher with some adjustments, but my goal was around 6000MHz, which is unrealistic. I took a close look at what I have in this PC and figured I don’t really need that much power. I mainly use it for gaming and 3D modeling. Unless the modeling becomes professional (unlikely), I won’t require more than 32GB. So I’ll stick with the new configuration and save the money for something else. Perhaps an AMD GPU later if I decide to switch from Windows to Linux.
I also own the 7800X3D. It's achievable. It might require 6000CL36 (or adjustments) or another board and BIOS (as of December 2024). My configuration is: BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends International, LLC. F32g, 12/19/2024 Onyx: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Gigabyte B650 AORUS Pro AX / ASRock Taichi 7900xtx OC / G.

I have the most recent updates on my system. I think it’s possible, but it wouldn’t be worth the effort right now.
