AMD build - some help requested please | PCSpecialist | Page 1

Hi all.

I'm putting together an AMD build using the configurator and the chosen spec is as follows:

Fractal North XL
Ryzen 7950x3d
Corsair H150i LCD
Asus TUF Gaming X670E-Plus Wi-Fi
64GB Corsair Vengeance 6000mhz
RTX 4090
1000w PSU
4TB M.2

My concerns are around the memory offered. I have selected the 6000mhz as that's the sweet spot I think for AMD Expo but no one can seem to tell me for sure what the RAM is so I can ensure it's going to be okay with AMD/Expo as most seem to be for Intel XMP3.0 and I don't want to have stability issues. Can anyone help me out? I don't want to go down to 5600mhz as the price is the same. Ideally I'd like to see the manufacturers page for the offered RAM so I can check?

The main usage is flight simulation. I have a 4k monitor selected and a budget of £4000-4500 but I'd prefer to stay around 4000 which is where it's at now. I am from the UK.

Do you know if the RAM selected (same as mine) is expo ram? Does it have to be?

#

Yeah it is

#

How can you tell?

brittle relic Sep 2, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

I looked it up on Corsair's website

Can you link me to it please?

#

I can't tell how to differentiate with the name

My only concern is in the configuration it doesn't include the AMD bit?

#

#

PCS will have tested the RAM they use to make sure it is stable

#

No matter what its called

twin glen Sep 2, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

Stable is one thing but better optimised and intended for is another? No point in installing RAM that's optimised for Intel only?

#

Just want some reassurance that I won't be swapping the included ram out for the AMD one above when I find it's not liking not having a loadable expo profile? Unless I'm misunderstanding the way it's done

#

If you just mean running at its proper speed (ie using XMP/DCOP/whatever they call it now - EXPO by the sounds of things) it should run perfectly fine and stably at that speed, PCS will test to make sure it can run at the advertised 6000/6400 (depending which you go fer)

Thank you, appreciate it! Sounds good 🙂

#

I think it's called DCOP in the bios but not sure.
