First time pc build, need help/advice
Posted by Oxxce@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments
basically made a first time builder rookie mistake, so i have a ryzen cpu am5 build and the ram kit i got say INTEL XMP ready, makes no mention of expo anywhere on the advertising/packaging. i’ve seen reviews of the ram that says some people bought it for an Am5 build too and all they had to do was choose the DOCP profile in the BIOS and everything was fine, all i have left to buy is a power supply and an SSD to complete my build and start setting it up, im wondering if i should just buy a PSU and run a test to see if my ram will work with my set up or if i should just return it, i have til the 25th of this month to do so. what would you guys recommend?
all my parts :
-Ryzen 5 7600x
-B850 Aorus Elite Wifi7 Ice
-corsair Vengence rgb DDR5 (32gb, 6000MHz, CL 36)
-Radeon RX 6800

it will be fine, most XMP and EXPO profiles only have small changes between them to optimize for the specific platform, my brother runs XMP RAM on his 7900x no problem runs at 6000mts CL36. worst comes to worst enable the profile and see if it works

that makes me feel better i ran it through chat gpt and it said i should be fine too, i just hope i dont run into any problems, fingers crossed

If it doesn't like it then enable the profile and manually drop the speed down to 5600mts and see if that helps.
hope it all works out for u and enjoy it
