So, I am getting a new case today and thought let me take all of my components out and put them in the original packaging so when the new case come I can just put the parts right in with no hassle of removing it from the other case and putting in the new case. But when taking one of the motherboard screws out it fell in the psu, and when this moment happened my heart stopped. I said to myself that people say never to open your psu because its dangerous and you will void warranty or may break something what have you, so I decided to shake it and I shook it hard like really hard because when shaking lightly sometimes the screw would get stuck somewhere and the only to get it unstuck was to shake it really hard like my house was shaking. I tried to see where the screw was but it was impossible, but then I realized that I can feel where the screw kept hitting on the psu so I took my flashlight and looked and saw that it was stuck on the sides of the fan and the only way to get it out was to take the grill of the psu off as well as the top most cover. I repeat I DID NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WHEN I OPENED IT THE FAN WAS STILL IN THE WAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SCREW OUT BY TIPPING IT UPSIDE DOWN. But mainly right now I fear turning my pc on because I do not want to brick my whole system. What the chances I broke anything?

Depending on the game, that can be totally normal. For example, Fortnite is notorious for that happening.
I thought so but my main problem is that when my fps fluctuates, for example in fortnite my frames normally cap at 360 no vsync or anything when the fps goes down to 330 it just feels choppy, like it doesnt stutter it just feels like microstutters. I know with normal stutter the game freezes for like 1s or so but no freezing occurs, and this happens in every game.

Yes, you should be able to get the latest chipset drivers from this website: https://www.amd.com/en/support
Then yes I have done this, but the stutters only seem to happen when I first load into the game after that everything smooths out.

The RAM speed is unlikely to be the cause of that.
Here are some things I would consider:
1. Did you do a fresh install of Windows when you built the computer? If you moved the drive from a previous system, especially an Intel system, it is highly recommended to do a fresh install - moving a drive from Intel to Ryzen has been shown to cause problems with frametime performance in games.
2. Are your drivers and BIOS up to date? Make sure you are running the latest drivers for your graphics card, your motherboard chipset, and that your BIOS is up to date. If you upgraded to the X3D without updating your motherboard chipset drivers, that could cause performance issues if the chipset driver is older than the 5800X3D.
3. Are your games running off an SSD or a hard drive? Because of how slow the latency is on hard drive access time, and how slow the read performance is compared to an SSD, it can cause hitching in games when assets need to be pulled from the HDD. Putting the game on an SSD can improve this significantly depending on the game.
I fresh installed windows, the bios is up to date and when you say update the motherboards chipset drivers do you mean downloading the chipset drivers from amd? and all my games are running off a 2tb m.2.

For 5800X3D slower ram doesn't mean much because the extra cache act's as a crazy fast buffer, after benchmarks i've found little to no difference between 3000 to 3600, its measurable but not really noticeable in real world use, ram speed means alot for non X3D but next to nothing for these chips with lots of cache
2 minutes ago, YoungBlade said:RAM instability can cause BSODs, application crashes, and other system oddities like that. If you want to test it, the recommended stability tests are to run Prime95 and OCCT. Which aren't bad things to run generally to test cooler performance and system stability as well.

Ok, so right now I am still in the return window to return the ram I have and get a 3200mhz kit, but if you guys do not think it is worth wasting the time to return it and wait to get a new kit then I wont do it. Because my system has never had any BSODs or any shut downs of any sorts, I just get occasional stutter when loading into to games and sometimes the 1% lows are not the best but overall its good.

All @porina is saying is that, on the off chance that you can't make the kit run at DDR4-3600 speed, you may need to manually turn it down in the BIOS to DDR4-3466 or DDR4-3333 or DDR4-3200 to make it stable with the 5800X3D.
One of the advantages of the X3D chips is that, when paired with slower RAM, they are less likely to have frame time issues, because they don't need to access the RAM as often. So the performance and frame time hit compared to a non-3D chip will actually be less.
However, it's very likely that the DDR4-3600 kit will run just fine at that speed. I wouldn't hesitate to try to use DDR4-3600 with a Zen 3 chip.
But what are some things to look for to see if it is stable?

3200 is the officially supported speed. If you have a problem at 3200 or lower, AMD may help you. If you use 3600 you're on your own. Chances are it'll work, as AMD themselves stated it was the sweet spot for Zen 3. Basically if there is no major price difference I'd go 3600. Worst case you might have to run it a little slower. While the cache of the X3D helps there will be times you need to get data from ram, so more speed there can still help.
Right not I currently have this https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2x16GB-PC4-28800-Optimized/dp/B082DGZJ9C/ref=sr_1_6?crid=37TJKXA3HJA7S&keywords=3600%2B32gb&qid=1703771528&sprefix=3600%2B32gb%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-6&th=1
My only question is regarding what you said "it might run slower" what does this mean when gaming? bad frame times? or stuttering occasionally?
-
So, I got a 5800x3d recently and realized that online it only supports ram speeds up to 3200mhz, so does having higher ram speeds can this cause things such as bad frame times or stuttering? should I get a 3200mhz kit instead?

If you only hear it during a GPU-intense load then most likely it is the gpu. An aio would have a gurgling sound due to air bubbles.
Given what you are describing, it is most likely the GPU.
I also sent one of it during idle.

Did you watch the videos?
-
The previous clip is during gaming, this one is idle, and it doesn’t actually sound as loud as the video makes it to be.

I never heard coil whine like this before, at first I thought it was coming from my psu but I removed from my system and then turned it on it did not hear anything coming from it, at most maybe at very high pitched noise that most people wouldn’t be able to hear. So it’s either coming from my gpu which is most likely or cpu aio which is trash and am getting it replaced anyway.
pc specs:
ryzen 9 5900x
rx 6750xt merc 319
2x8gb ddr4 3600mhz ram
asus b550f gaming motherboard
corsair h100i 240mm aio
asus Thor 850w 80+ platinum
Sn850x 2tb m.2

Which one would be best for thermals as well as noise. Because right now I have a Corsair carbide 275r and I had it for years and it’s just loud even when fans are on low.

you can get any monitor in any resolution at any size. it comes down to personal preference as far as viewing distances. basically what you are comfortable with.
anyone (even LMG) that tries to make universal rules regarding resolution and screen sizes is oblivious to more than a single human existing.Which monitor would you chose? Either from the options I chose or something that you can find.

I need suggestions on a 240hz monitor preferably less than 300$, I know that it won’t be great for that price but it will be better than what I have. I also heard that for 1920x1080 you want to get a 24inch monitor.
what I found so far:
(I know this is a 27 inch)

( the problem with this one is that people say it’s cheaply built)I’m open to all suggestions.

Why would you use v-sync? If you want to limit the framerate use the in-built limiter or RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistics Server). V-Sync is terrible, even with triple buffering enabled. It adds a ton of latency and it introduces stutters.
So, should my next approach be to try a new ssd? Do see if that is causing the stuttering? I just don’t see how the 5800x3d can fix these problems other people with 5900x have no problems.

I am certain that a 5800X3D wouldn't be enough for a 6900XT on 1080p, you should really have a 7800X3D for that, or at least an i7 13700K/14700K.
The 5900X is two 5600X "glued together" with a huge latency between "them". For games, it's worse than a 5700X or 5800X (which have all 8 cores in the same CCD).
The 240 Hz you mention, is it going to be a 1440p screen? A 5900X could do for 1440p with the 6900XT but certainly not for high refresh (or shall I say smooth).

I wouldn't doubt if your 250GB WD black is the problem and/or your Windows installation. I'd recommend biting the bullet and reinstalling on a new drive (and upgrading your RAM to a 2x16GB 3600MT/sec kit because they're really inexpensive now).
I am getting 32gb soon at 3600mhz hoping that was the issue

You did not mention your monitor resolution.
The 5900X was a bottleneck for my 6950XT on 1440p. The stutters (huge frame drops) were annoyingly noticeable in my game(s).
I switched to the 5800X3D and it has been battery-smooth ever since. The average framerate isn't that different, but the 1% and 0.1% lows are so much higher that they aren't even noticeable.
Also, you're on only 16GB of RAM. Add more RAM even if you're not upgrading the CPU.
Are you on the latest Bios?
The thing is that I play at 1080p, and only have a 144hz monitor but I am getting a 240hz one soon. and when I used reason I got the 5900x was because it had more cores/threads which I though was good in terms of having little to no bottleneck.

What games are you playing? Some games these days do actually use more than 16GB of RAM, and that could cause stuttering when things are pushed to the pagefile. And the games that do this might surprise you - Fortnite actually benefits in 1% lows from 32GB of RAM, for example.
You RAM's age isn't an issue - DDR4-3600 CL16 is still good for DDR4 - but the capacity might be.
Fortnite actually runs the smoothest I do get occasional stutters though. Star Wars battlefront II as well as BF1 or 2042.

I have just been stuttering in all games I played, the things I have tried are as follows; uninstalled drivers first by uninstalling them using windows then using ddu afterwards, did the same thing for the chipset drivers. I also did a clean install of win more times than I can remember, I tried overclocking gpu, undervolting, and just keeping it at default, I also tried enabling and disabling freesync in the adrenaline software. I tried disabling SAM, XMP, fTPM (this actually helps alot), I also tried undervolting the cpu and overclocking it. I reset my bios and redownloaded the new version multiple times and I aslo disabled MPO. None of this works, absolutely nothing. I replaced all my parts mulitple times tried different parts and came to the conclusion that it is either my ram (beacuse it is quite old), my ssd (because it is just some cheap 1tb wd blue and also a 250gb wd black m.2), or my motherboard.
My pc specs:
Ryzen 9 5900x
Rx 6900 xt
ripjaws 3600mhz cl16 2x8gb ddr4
asus b550 f gaming motherboard
asus thor 850w platinum psu
250gb wd black m.2 (for windows 11 pro)
1tb wd blue ssd
corsair h150i 240mm
3x corsair case fans

It would improve the performance a little, these games tend to want a CPU with more cores.
Vsync is designed to make a framerate more regular and reduce stuttering. Same with Gsync.
Placing more load on the GPU with a game like Metro Exodus or Halo Infinite might give a different experience
So, would switching to Intel be better?

all three of these games are notoriously CPU-hungry, so I am not surprised that the 5600X is seeing high usage,
Are you playing at mostly 1080p?
What are games that are gpu intensive I can try?

Is there anything I should listen for or look if the system posts to make sure everything is ok?
