I have a few questions about DDR5 and POST time with AM5 platform.
Intel have this POST time problems with its 13th gen?
Its my first experience with AMD processors and i picked up a 7600X paired with a MSI B650 Edge (I haven't buying all the parts yet).
So sad that this new platform have this kind of glitches.
BTW, which DDR5 memory would you choose?
1) G.Skill Flare X5 Series (AMD Expo) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL36-36-96 1.35V
2) G.Skill Flare X5 Series (AMD Expo) 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 288 pines SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL32-38-38-96 1.35 V
3) TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 32 GB Kit (2 x 16 GB) 6000 MHz (PC5-48000) CL40
4) CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5200 (PC5-41600) C40 1.25V Intel XMP
5) Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 6000 MHz C36
6) Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 5600 MHz C36

Thx in advance.

Gigabyte has mostly fixed the long POST times, for example. MSI has not so far.

Do you plan on OCing the RAM yourself or? If not, get the 2)
 
I myself ordered #2 from that list for my build.
 
Thx guys, ill go with the second choice or the option deliverd by SuperFirmTofu.
Also, i have read that XMP profiles work better than EXPO ones on AM5 platforms. In that sense, what do you think? DDR5 EXPO or XMP?

Good news, I didn't know.
I'm not going to OC.
Do you recommend Gigabyte, MSI or Asus MB for AM5?
 
XMP is an Intel standard, and EXPO is AMD. I'd probably stick with EXPO, but I believe all of the B650/X670 boards can 'read' XMP.

*edit - typo*
 
Only buy Corsair if you have other Corsair products. iCUE is needed to control the RGB stuff, which often conflicts with MB software. Otherwise if you don't care and just want to leave it on rainbow, don't install iCUE and your fine.

I've used all the ones on your list. They are all good options. Just depends what brand you like the most really. But I always suggest going for the cheapest if your on a budget because that money can be spent elsewhere.

Edit: I said some nice things about this

Just like AM4, I haven't had a AM5 motherboard that couldn't read the XMP profile.

Off topic, but I've been meaning to ask - Have the Z690/Z790 boards you've worked with read EXPO? I didn't get a chance to try it before I sold my EXPO kit. :rolleyes:

I never really looked into it until now. All the EXPO kits I checked with before had a XMP profile too. Just popped in these G.SKILL NEOs that only have EXPO. It comes up as D.O.C.P on the ASUS Z790 APEX. So basically ASUS version of reading SPD data that isn't XMP, but on a Intel MB.
