Ah okay, nah I'm using a 2600x, I returned the 3600x I had as I couldn't make it work with other boards

So, this board has frustrated me for a few weeks now trying to overclock ram to 3200mhz speed. I have 2x8gb sticks of corsair vengeance at 3200mhz in this board that has worked perfectly fine at that speed in a b450m mortar max board, but for some reason has an issue with clocking to 3200mhz with this gigabyte board. I have downloaded the easytune application to create an xmp profile (which is absurd, why is this not available in BIOS) at 2933mhz, and it works fine, besides stutter whilst gaming. There have been zero errors in memtest64 stress tests at this speed through multiple hours of testing, but when testing the ram clocked at 3200mhz there are a lot of errors per pass. I don't want to risk using this ram during gaming, and I have had the system crash a couple of times when just sat there not doing a whole lot, when it's clocked to 3200. If anyone has any advice or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate the help as I am just stumped at this point. Thanks

Yes, it's all up to date

The board came with ryzen 3000 compatible bios installed

I'll start with the specs of the PC with the old cpu: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x GPU: Sapphire Pulse 5700xt Ram: Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz 16gb Mobo: msi mortar max b450m PSU: Corsair 650w gold This was running great with no crashes or issues, but I was noticing a few 1% lows were quite jarring, when playing at 1080p, so i opted to switch out for the 3600x. After installing the chip, with everything seated correctly, I turned on the system and it booted first try. So I restarted and got into the bios to up the ram speeds to 3200mhz and that's when I ran into an issue where the computer would attempt to boot, display a "preparing automatic repair" screen for a few seconds then restart the pc. This restart will loops endlessly unless I interfere by turning it off by the switch, or entering the bios on one of the loops. I returned the ram speeds to auto (2133mhz), but to no avail, the systen will keep showing the preparing automatic repair screen then restart over and over. My next attempt to fix the issue was to put my old cpu back into the pc and try from there, but I was met with the ram debug LED showing up, which hadn't shown up previously, and no post. After i switched each part I made sure each conponent and power cable was seated correctly, and they all were. I'm all out of ideas right now, so if anyone has a clue as to what's potentially going wrong I'd greatly appreciate any advice/feedback Update: I tried switching out to the old cpu and just one ram stick and it booted, then added the second stick of ram and it booted again. Did a quick stress test and mem check and there were no issues, repeated that with 3200mhz on the ram and that also worked. I've added the new cpu back in and it keeps showing the same "preparing automatic repair" screen and then looping. It seems like the 3600x doesn't want to boot for some reason, does anyone know of this issue or is it time to RMA the chip?

Simply because there are no ips/va panels with that refresh for 24".

Hmmm, I know. I've read something about a Dell monitor being overclocked to 75hz, but it's just the one site/review I've seen it mentioned. Also, I don't think it had free sync or g sync.

I'm looking for a monitor matching the description in the title. I am restricted to a 24" monitor due to desk restraints, but when I've searched for any matching that description I've found a very limited amount that also appear to be just 60hz without adaptive sync. Are there any available, at any price range, that will match these requirements?

I wouldn't say it's a terrible thing. If you think about it, the only real difference is that you can sit further away from a 27 inch 1440p monitor than you can a 24 inch 1440p. However you'll notice smoother edges, when viewing 1440p content, compared to the 27 inch purely because the pixel density is higher.

There is a samsung va monitor that looks amazing (LC24FG73) but is a freesync panel. There is no ghosting present with this monitor and the colour depth is amazing! Although the older version of this monitor was terrible this one has been updated and it's a world of difference.

Ooh, I'm jealous of the 1440p ultrawide! How does it perform with your card?

This leads on to another conversation about monitors and g sync. I'm not really willing to plunge another £100+ into a monitor with g sync if I can purchase a free sync variant for less money.

This is true but I know what he was trying to say. That being said I'm dead set on 1440p resolution on a 27 inch monitor as it looks phenamol for gaming and will provide so much real estate when I'm using it for day to day use.

At the moment in the UK I can pick up the 64 card for just under £480, which is £20 cheaper than the cheapest 1080 (all be it an aftermarket card) and only £80 more than the 56 card. It's the freesync that has me focused on AMD. If I'm playing a demanding game (pubg for example) freesync will at least help alleviate the issue of lower frame rates.

I've weighing up the options for graphics cards and I've come to the conclusion that I'd prefer AMD for the adaptive functionality at a reduced price over g sync. I'll be playing most games at 1440p resolution, but I'm struggling to decide whether saving money with the vega 56 or waiting for the vega 64 card will really be worth it in the long run. I'm interested to hear anyone's opinions and how their vega cards perform at that resolution. Thanks in advance.
