Is your sig accurate so upgrade from the 3080?

I wonder if there will be a spring price drop for the 7900XTX maybe right in line with your timing.

Yeah, one of my friends will get some of my current system's components; I still have to contact him about what he needs but I've been giving him my 'previous system' stuff for a couple of years now (well, "giving" I.E. he buys from me but I sell him very cheap; I've known him since my highschool years). He himself currently has an RTX 2080 (non-Ti), so my 3080 will definitely be a nice bump in performance for him.

I did actually plan to buy the 7900 XTX to go along with my full upgrade initially. But I changed my mind when I saw the total price of my CPU + Mobo + Memory trio upgrade. I can wait, no biggie. If there's a price drop I'll be notified since I have it on 'notification' (Newegg Canada). If the price drop is very good then I'll buy sooner-than-expected, but right now I plan on getting it in May or June. I think June would be perfect since I want to buy Street Fighter 6 in the same month.

I can't return them as I bought them on newegg during the Valentines Day sale. I know I will have to run them slightly lowered clock speeds thats no biggie.

For 4 sticks of SR 16GB ram sticks, you can run them at 6200 without much issue, the limitation won't be from the motherboard but from the ram if it fails to achieve that. 6400 really require you to loosen the timing to even post and also require some luck on the IMC.

Does anyone have experience with Strix B650E-E, B670E Taichi or EK-AIO 360 D-RGB?
They're frontrunners (along with 7800X3D) for what will go in my new build.

Every AM5 motherboard I've seen supports BIOS update without a CPU installed.

It's a mandatory feature of the AM5 spec for mobo makers that AMD requsts.

High praise for the B650E Taichi.

PSA: guys who already upgraded to 1.0.0.5 AGESA, check your Idle power and C-States.

Best tool to do so is HWinfo64:
View attachment 77106

It should look like this on some load and mostly C6 when idle.
If C6 is flat 0% when Idle, then check Package Power, you won't like what You will see
I updated my daughter's 7600x (Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX to F4b from F3 BIOS) build first and experienced the same thing. In addition, HWInfo no longer displayed the motherboard info section for voltages, temps and fan speeds. So I reverted it back to F3. Surprisingly it didn't seem to change her idle power usage, about 23W on both, but it showed 0% C6 state at idle.

Both the x670e and the B650eTaichi boards look amazing , except for there rear I/O layout drives me crazy. why would they put the dang wireless connectors and Lan port on the left side and the audio jacks directly in the middle of the I/O where it will get in the way of all the other ports?? Those wireless antenna's have to block the bios flashback and clear Cmos buttons after they are screwed in. That is just my personal thoughts. Other then that it looks to have the most features for the least amount of money.

Edit- The MSI x670e Carbon is on sale for $429 at Newegg right now. I ended up snagging one , so I hope it ends up being a good motherboard.

My last parts except a few fans will arrive today, but I will be delayed by the need for an AM5 adapter for my AIO. I tried to be smart and requested it from NZXT before I even received the cooler, but sadly its backordered with no update. I ordered one off eBay today, hopefully it will get here soon. I guess I can set up everything else in the mean time.

Thanks! Good to know. I really like the high quality audio and amps on these 3 mobos (mostly why I avoid Gigabyte). USB4 is also nice on the Taichis. Too bad the B650E one isn't much cheaper than the X670E one. Some of the best value on them out of the high end lot for sure tho.

Wish there was more reviews and feedback for the Strix B650E-E tho.

AM5 mATX board with two NICs?

Hi,

I need to build a compact workstation. We need two NICs for operation. I can use addon card but I was wondering if there is a mATX board with two built in ethernet ports? Otherwise build will be quite simple; 7950X, 64/128GB, W6600 pro card, Micro-Tower Inter-Tech IM-1 Pocket Black case.

Question, in regards to memory, specifically the memory referenced here: http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=thread...-4-genoa-ryzen-7000-etc.2571425/post-40954001

So I ordered it. Its 6400 cl32 hynix M-die. I already have 6600 cl34 M-die. So would I be able to run better than the referenced tweaked settings using the 6600 ? The 6400 id trident S5, and the 6600 is trident Z5. The 7950x3d comes tomorrow, and I want to be ready !

Pretty much all M-die and A-die should be able to achieve the tuned DDR5-6000 timings from Buildzoid.

The only variance will be how much voltage you need for SOC, MC, VDD/Q to be 100.000% stable

Thanks ! So , my last questions are.... The memory is different in CL from 32 to 34 and speed from 6400 to 6600. Will either matter at 6000 and

tCL: just use XMP
tRCD: just use XMP
tRP: just use XMP
tRAS: 30*
tRC: 68
tWR: 48
tREFI: 50000
tRFC: 500
tRFC2: 400
tRFC4: 300
tRTP: 12

So I would want to use the CL32 memory ? It will not hit cl30 ??? or is that tras ??

Thanks for that link. I am actually thinking this may be a pricey build that will make things easier for a future upgrade. Full tilt upgrade with a 7800x3d (depending on reviews), or a 7700x, Asus Strix 670E-E, 64gb of RAM, and a 4080. Gonna try to build it in a Silent Base 802, and I might actually try and AIO vs air. Trying to "futureproof" as much as possible.
