2x24GB sticks aren't DR or 2 ranked..

2x24GB isn't even stable on the Crosshair Hero.. (Claps to Asus junk) the 2x24GB sticks are only stable on my B650E Aorus Tachyon bench jig with the same chip..

As one of the few boards with nitropath, that is ironic.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Better than AsRock junk haha.

No it isn't.. I'll take AsRock over ASUS all day, any day.

Not me.. but like I said before, I do not buy their low to midrange stuff (anymore).

I am such a fan boy it even makes me sick. But I bought it so I better love it lol..

It's all good. In fairness, I hated Gigabyte for a long time. However, they have really made an effort to come around in the time since the PSU and GPU nonsense. They're changing for the better, let's hope they keep it up.

I would rather buy AsRock than Gigabyte haha

Edit:

Just like I would buy Abit over Asus..

Right there with you! 100%. Man do I miss the old ABit!

Yore dating yourself with that one lol.

I miss the old Pegatron consumer division too. Date that!

All the Gigabyte 50 and 9000 series GPUs with pumping out thermal gel disagree.

I personally avoid Gigabyte like the plague. Asus is fine with motherboards and Nvidia GPUs, but their AMD cards are better avoided, imo. Same with MSi, their boards are nice, but no one will miss their Radeons. Never had anything from ASRock, to be honest.

But like you said, we all have our preferences, and it's cool.

There is that, but those are isolated situations and in fairness to Gigabyte, they are accepting RMA's for those situations and being reasonable & honorable about it. Mistakes happen, this we can forgive. How those mistakes are handled is what defines a company and Gigabyte seems to be doing much better there.

I did too. But after handling a few RMAs with them recently, my opinion has changed because they are doing much better.

Fair enough. If their RMA is spotless, that's cool. I'd just rather not have the issues in the first place, of which, there seems to be a bit too many with Gigabyte.

Keep your voice down, you'll make my B650E Taichi Lite cry and salt water doesn't mix well with electronics.

I didn't mean anything by it, I am sure all brands make something decent somewhere in their stack

I have a Z77 OC Formula, that is a badass board. I don't hate AssRock, I just give them and everyone else a hard time.

They stack neatly in the bin

Nah I was wary of them until I saw HUB's review of the motherboard, and it's the only B650E with USB4 on it that I am aware of, PCI gen 5 on GPU slot and primary SSD controller spot with VRM's that will run anything.

Not spotless, just not a bad experience like it once was. Just saying they are improving to the point where the process is not a headache or unacceptable.

I don't play with anything below 4k..seriiously? 5090 and a 9950X3D on just 2k resolution?

Edit: so I tested on 2k resolution (just changed reso to 2k)

Looks like i will be joining the red camp shortly, with a ryzen 7 7800X3D and a Asus TUF Gaming B650M-E WIFI, got board, CPU coming tomorrow, and ram a couple of days after. After been on Intel so long, anything i need to know?

4 sticks of ram is tough on the ryzen 7xxx/9xxx IMC and will make your boot time long and miserable (at minimum).

Otherwise it's a very sweet system foundation with little flaws to complain about.

This is probably the one part of AM5 that I dislike the most. On AM4 I had no troubles with 4 sticks on 4 boards and CPU's.

But yes.. miserable indeed.

 

[R-T-B]

Early AM4 gen1 was pretty much the same, but they certainly missed an oportunity to improve the IMC with the 9xxx chips.

But then you have guys posting 4 sticks at high speed and tight timings, low voltage all around.. grr..

Same with 2 sticks?

No. It's different. It shouldn't be that way, but it is.
