    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    Yeah i don't really know either and don't think it due to the age of the DIMS so maybe they only load EXPO profiles on some. I've got HWiNFO64 to get some additional details and it is showing them at having manufacting date year 2023, week37 and SK Hynix A-Die (4.1) so pretty sure they are not...

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    I've just put together a new 7800X3D and thought it would be useful to post an update in case anyone is interested. So the bad news is that the Lexar 6400MHz CL32 RAM discussed above does not have any AMD EXPO profiles - i've checked in the BIOS and confirmed this in CPU-Z SPD as described in...

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    I think that would be overkill for what i need as i'm only playing at 1440p / 165Hz and trying to keep within a budget, but it is hard not to push it a bit when you see good deals. I originally was going to get a 7800XT but that already passed that!

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    oh nice hope you got a great deal, that sounds like an awesome setup. I was going to get a 7900XT but now leaning towards the 4070 TI Super, so let's see...

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    Went for the Lexar 6400Mhz CL32 which are on their way, along with a new 7800X3d and expecting them to be delivered later next week. I've quick flashed the motherboard so hopefully it all should work out the box, but I've not got a graphics card as i'm waiting to see if the latest release drops...

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    Thanks PhigBill, appreciate the time taken to post whilst you are away! If you have the sticks and they have a saved EXPO profile i'll take the punt and get them. If needed I can drop the speed manually and worst case they can always be returned but the big selling point is the Hynix A die as...

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    i think the 6000mhz or slower kits I think the 6000MHz and slower kits have the EXPO profiles but the faster ones don't. There is a video from mike's unboxing youtube channel which is now 7 days titled - "LEXAR Ares ARGB DDR5 6400mhz RAM Best Value DDR5 RAM" and 30secs in the box cover clearly...

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    Hi @PhigBill , could i just double check you have this RAM with a 7800X3D and used EXPO on it with no problem? I've been looking at it for a while and getting conflicting information on various websites on wether it is EXPO compatible or not as even their own website focusses on the XMP side...

    Corsair RM850 (2013) Compatibility

    Thanks for the response and valid point. My thinking is that it is a PSU from a reputable brand which still works well so saving £150-£200 on a new one can better be spent towards a better CPU or GPU. The PSU cables i have are listed below: ATX connector (610mm) 1 (20+4 pin) 4+4 pin EPS12V...

    Corsair RM850 (2013) Compatibility

    Hi all, I have a Corsair RM850 which i bought new in 2013 - the version with yellow writing (seen here). It's run flawlessly through a couple of builds and i've got the original cables so looking to reuse it in a new build. I'm looking at getting a medium/high end computer but struggling to...

    TODAY ONLY DEALS - 24/08/2010 - OCZ & Powercolor - Cheapest in the UK!

    Sorry I meant the 1600MHz kit, what are the RMA rates on that one? There is a thread complaining about how bad they are and i know that quite a few reviews including my own never made it through to the ocuk product page. But judging by your reply they seem far stabler so that is good news :D
