witch bios , iam on 2204 that is the best until now for mem combability and mem OC

i updated to 2401 Agesa 1.2.0.2 yesterday, ive just followed buildzoids timings exactly for the 7800x3d on a strix and its booted nicely into w11 , but iam pretty sure when i reboot i will get with no post and the QED reading 00 lol!

yep just as i suspected as soon i restarted the pc no post

code 00 is normally mem related , problem with memcontroller you seems unlucky with cpu lottery

I replaced my 7800X3D and 64GB of Gskill RAM 4 times because the RAM kept failing. It would run fine until playing MSFS with Pimax Crystal. I finally got a single stick of 32GB to work and haven’t touched it since.

yep i think so too, gonna upgrade to 9xxx anyway maybe 9900x but will wait for the x3d's first and if the 2 R9's have the 2 ccd shenanigan's again well we will see  

I was thinking of getting another 32 GB DDR5, then read about potential issues with 4 sticks.  I have just seen the developer stream where Sebastian Wloch said that more than 32 GB was only necessary if you are running other apps simultaneously, like recording.  I'll probably just hang on now and see how much it actually uses.

Hard to believe 32GB of RAM will be insufficient to run this thing maxed out... unless you run other programs congruently

Wait for MSFS2024 benchmarking and see where the 9800X3D places amongst its competitors?

Certainly your current CPU needs to be thrown away/sold.

I really thought i had overspec’d my current pc but wait a little while and all of a sudden all that extra hp is needed. Give it a year and my build will be just decent. 

That’s life of a pc gamer.

Not totally hard for me.  Today I hit 30GB usage.  Granted I had other things going on in addition to my flight.  But if 2024 is even just a touch more than 2020, I get it.  

His comment is also made from internal usage of MSFS 2024 with only their own assets that are also optimized for consoles. So if that is already starting to push 32GB to a point where you can't do much multi-tasking on the side, imagine once all the third party addons get thrown into the mix, with even heavier systems, more functionality, 4K and 8K textures and people running a lot of additional addons on top, then it doesn't sound too far fetched that the sim itself will be able to break past that 32GB barrier.

 

RAM on!

Make sure your FCLK and UCLK are 1:1, i.e divisible by your memory speed or you're essentially just making your setup slower / higher latency by only overclocking the speed of your RAM. Just in general with the X3Ds, once you move past 6000MT/s, you might actually see a drop-off in performance as 6000 in a 1:1 setup is probably the absolute sweet spot of the X3Ds. You are much better off getting optimized timings at 6000MT/s, with FCLK at 2000 / UCLK 3000.

Thanks, I didn't know this 🙂 I'll check my BIOS settings. 

EDIT: It doesn't look like it's 1:1 at the moment...

Yes, it's best to have exactly 2 sticks. 1 stick is slower. 4 sticks can cause problems.

cpu can be addressing memory in 2 different ways at the same time, if you have 2 sticks.

ive given up on EXPO on AM 5 , never been able able to get my system stable with it , after 2 motherboards and x3 sets of ram still no stable expo. think its my 7800x3d thats the problem  because i cant even reach -30 with curve optimizer 

Goodness, that sounds expensive 💸

I had 32GB of DDR5 for my Intel build. It turned out that it wasn't compatible with my AM5 upgrade. So I needed to shell out for another set of 32GB DDR5. Which makes me reluctant to throw more money at RAM unless absolutely necessary. I'd rather have a holiday in Hawaii... Which btw is probably not that comparable to the price of 2x32 DDR5.

In terms of the curve optimizer, I've got -25 on CCD0 (the "cache" cores) but I had to disable the -10 CO on CCD1 ("frequency" cores) as I got instability (BSOD) issues when doing video editing.

How do I know what sort of timings to aim for at 6000MT/s?
