Hate to dig up an older thread but how are you liking this monitor? Notice any black smearing? I’ve been looking into it as it has everything I want. High refresh, mini led, good contrast and brightness.

I messed with this thing for a long time. You actually helped me with the manual ram timings and settings. Those worked and out of no where it would fail to boot again. it would do it even with the dp or hdmi plugged into the mb without a gpu in it. I also tried it with a 7800xt and a Rtx 4070. After searching that b650 tomahawk WiFi I found tons of people having issues with it all over the internet. That’s when I decided to sell it, just tired of being up for hours trying to get the damn thing to work. It sucks because when it worked the performance was great but it was always a matter of time before it would stop working again.

Multiple clean installs of windows 11. I don’t know exact models #’s for the ram but I tried g skill s5, not on qvl g skill x5 on qvl corsair vengeance on qvl Corsair rgb pro on qvl

Sorry this is gonna be a long one but my experience with Am5 was awful. I’m curious if intel is having similar issues with ddr5. I went from Ryzen 5600x to 7600x and had nothing but issues with black screens, no post, no boot, vga light, couldn’t restart had to power off and back on, if it did boot it would take over 45 seconds. I went thru 2 b650 tomahawk WiFi boards, and 3 sets of ram that were on the qvl. I couldn’t run xmp or expo, it would run fine with manual settings then it would randomly not start again within a week. Running at 4800mhz worked every time, ran mem test and never got errors at 4800mhz with any of the ram sets but it would crash at 6000mhz. I tried every single available bios for that board. I got fed up and sold the setup after spending countless hours trying to get it to work right 100% of the time. Anyone here on 12/13/14th gen having issues with booting related to ddr5?

I'm gonna try this disabling freesync and see if it works

@1080p the 7600x is around 20% faster and @1440p it’s around 15% faster for average fps while gaming. The biggest thing you should notice is the 1% lows being higher and that will make your gaming experience feel a lot smoother. For gaming the 7600x is a great cpu, I use one with no complaints.

That’s what it seems like

Your gpu will last longer at 1080p, I wouldn’t even consider 1440p for what you’re trying to do here. Buy the strongest gpu you can since you want to stretch this system for a long time.

Turned off FSR and didn't crash once in starfield and I played for about 90 minutes, that's the longest I was able to go without it crashing. Crazy how AMD's upscaler in an amd sponsored game was causing mine to crash.

I haven’t read thru that yet but thank you for posting it. I’ll go thru n it tonight and see if it fixes my Starfield issue while not causing issues in my other games

Sooo..... I just loaded starfield, played for maybe 10 minutes and got this driver timeout error. This is the first time I've had this happen. I'm on windows 11 rig is in my sig, Running adrenaline 23.9.1 Now I'm gonna be up all night trying to fix it, if I come up with something I'll let you know , I'll make sure I post back here regardless

100% with the 3080fe I had at stock power limits I’ve seen it pull 325 watts by itself.

Is this happening across all of the 7000 series cards? I’ve had my 7800xt for about 2 weeks now and Dead by daylight, Rdr2, cod mw2, fallout 3/4/NV/76, Starfield and Fortnite have all been great. I haven’t had a single driver timeout issue. I do believe your having issues tho, I had a hell of a time with my 5700xt when that launched and switched to nvidia and just now came back to amd with am5 and the 7800xt

@fade2black001 Cpu+temps- Cpu cooler- gpu+temps- Ram- Motherboard- Psu- Windows version- Adrenalin version- Help us to help you.

I’d hope so, I just built my rig last week around that cpu.

I dug around in the bios and couldn't find fast boot anywhere, I did find it in the OS and disabled it. Since disabling it I've been able to power off and power back on the first try every single time and I must've done it at least 20 times over the past 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Thank you so much for this, you saved my sanity.

@RONOTHAN## Using the v16 Bios and manually setting the ram speed, the timings, the dram voltage to 1.35 and the soc voltage to 1.25 It booted first try. I played games for about 3 hours with no stability issues or BSOD. I restarted the pc thru windows, 10 times in a row, I turned the pc off thru windows and gave it ten minutes and it took 4 on/off power cycles with the button on my case for it to actually boot again. Left it off overnight and turned it on this morning, first try and it booted right away. I am turning it off thru windows now to see what happens. Went to turn it back on, fans spin, rgb lights up, cpu cooler ramps up but no boot. Turned it off and back on with the power button and it booted no issue, all ram settings stayed the same. So far this is the best result I've had yet. Idk if I should redo the things you said to try on the V17 bios or leave it the way it is now

Thank you for all your help. Hopefully I can get this to work tonight and I can use my new 7800xt I just got yesterday.

Thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate it. I’m at work for the next 6 hours but I’ll give it a try when I get home. I’ll tag you when I post back if it’s working or not. I’m currently running the v16 bios, I’ll try it on there first and if it doesn’t work I’ll try it on the newer v17 bios. Should I mess with any other settings when I’m in the bios?

I’ve never manually messed with ram so I’m completely lost here. I know where the speed adjustment goes but have no clue about what numbers go where for the timings. I know for my kit it says cl30-40-40-96 what letters are assigned to those numbers in the bios.

Gskill F5-6000J3040F16GA2-RS5K is the ram I have, it’s not on the Qvl but I’ve never had issues in the past like this. I thought since it has an xmp profile it might work but I might need different ram, figured I’d ask here. In the bios I’ve tried running the xmp profile which is cl30-40-40-96 at 6000mhz and sometimes it will start but it will either drop a bsod on me or it won’t start again. I have to pull the battery or short the jbatt connector to clear the cmos to get back into the bios. If I run it default with no changes the system boots and posts almost every single time but the speed is at 4800mhz and the timings are way worse. 1-Should I just own that I f’ed up and get different ram ? 2-If so what should I get that’s known to be stable in a 32gb 2x16gb kit from Amazon ?

…

Clearing out old stock before releasing new stuff is the smart thing to do. Look how long nvidia has been doing it, at least amd dropped the prices on the 6950xt heavily.

I’ve been running a rtx 3080 10gb at 1440p and 4k for a long time. Older games are fine at 4k, newer stuff I run at 1440p. I haven’t had an issue with my 3080 that made me say damn I need a better card. I don’t play on max settings unless I’m over the monitor refresh rate 165/120hz.

The minimum fps numbers should’ve went up a lot going from 1600 to 3600.
