    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    I see thank you. I haven't read about context restore yet so I will have a look about that later. I was actually reading your article here : https://www.techpowerup.com/review/ddr5-memory-performance-scaling 4-5% is still something I mean. Where I live difference in price between DDR5-6000 CL30...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Regarding the latency, if you say "profitting more from lower CL than higher frequency", it's CL in ns. DDR5-6000 CL30 = 10ns, 5200 CL28 = 10.77ns, a lower CL cycle number but higher in terms of ns will never be better no matter what. From what AMD said, DDR5-6000 is the sweet spot, and from...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Well it's pretty far away, I mean since 2010 and my first SSD I think it has usually taken about 1min for booting, before that, well, yeah HDD could take 2 min just to boot Windows, maybe more sometimes, the BIOS part was pretty short though. With the PC I built in 2014 I think the boot time...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Another interesting insight, thank you very much. Looks like EXPO is a much better choice then.

    I see, thank you very much for this interesting insight !

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    I see, well the one who mentionned that EXPO can possibly take more training time is apparently also from TPU staff, although maybe not testing mb I don't know. Anyway, it's indeed better to know that as a fact rather than guessing. I come from a pretty old PC, I currently use a 4770K (2013)...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Well speaking of being specific, these aren't excactly the modules I am mentionning since yours are CL36. Here are the ones I found in Japan, both for about 18500 yen : https://www.gskill.com/product/165/377/1649234720/F5-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5WF5-6000J3040F16GA2-RS5W...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Yes I get that EXPO is better for AMD, my question was more about is EXPO better than a slightly lower CL, since EXPO is from what I know supposed to be a fine tune for AMD compared to XMP. But I guess it has more chance to have been tested for AMD motherboards so in terms of stability EXPO is...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    I overall agree with you, I don't reboot that much so it's minor.

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    I edited my own comment while you wrote that but yes, that's what I understood from your comment. I am kinda surprised that DRAM training can take that much time, but for sure it's not negligible. From my own experience it's totally possible. I am just surprised at how long it takes nowadays.

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Well the boot being faster was actually mentionned by @dgianstefani I didn't say that myself. I just said that if it was the case then maybe XMP isn't too bad for me, especially if the more aggressive timings we get from EXPO are compensated by the lower CL on the XMP module I found. PS: now as...

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    That's good to know thank you.

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Well that's not the end of the world for sure but it is a huge delay nonetheless. Like for instance, if having XMP instead reduces this by 10s I would probably go for the XMP.

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Thank you for you answer Faster even with the CL higher on the EXPO one ? I heard about the boot times being quite long on AMD platform recently, so if it's longer on the EXPO ones I am also kinda worried a bit.

    EXPO or XMP for AMD config ?

    Hi, I'm planning on buying a 7800X3D, probably a X670E mb, and 2x16GB of DDR5 6000, hopefully around CL30 (to reach 10ns latency which has always been the sweet spot for price/perf since the first generations of SDRAM). I plan on using my Noctua D15 as cooler, so I assume I will only be able to...
