    PCSPECIALIST Zen 4 and DDR5 - performance, stability, POST times?

    For those who might be interested, I finally found a review that has benchmarks of different DDR5 memory speeds, as well as some benchmarks comparing 2 vs 4 DIMMs: https://www.techspot.com/review/2534-amd-ryzen-7600x/#RAM_Performance I found it via this discussion which is also worth a read...

    PCSPECIALIST Zen 4 and DDR5 - performance, stability, POST times?

    I actually want to make sure I can turn any and all LEDs off, I'd rather there weren't any at all but that seems quite hard to avoid these days! It's quite ironic given I work on some fairly complex LED projects at times, but this will primarily be a workstation that I want to be hidden away...

I'm somewhat adverse to ASUS as I have an ASUS laptop and I haven't been impressed with Armoury Crate and their various other...

    Thanks @SpyderTracks! As far as I can tell all those videos are talking about Intel CPUs/MBs, so I'm reluctant to read too much into them. I appreciate many aspects of DDR5 hold true regardless what platform they run on, but I'm trying to understand the AM5/Zen4 specific side of things. I've...

    PCSPECIALIST Zen 4 and DDR5 - performance, stability, POST times?

    Hi all, I'm looking to buy a 7950X system with 64GB RAM, and trying to figure out the best RAM configuration to go with. I'm aware of the benchmarks showing Zen 3 systems getting a small but noticable performance boost from using 4 sticks of RAM rather than 2. I've also seen various vague...
