You probably need to update your BIOS. You just need a USB flash drive and another computer to download the recent BIOS. Put the BIOS on the Fat32 formatted drive and then plug it into the BIOS USB port in the back of your mobo and press the flashback button. There's also plenty of video tutorials on this.

try flashing with the bios first made to support zen 3

So my 5600X is in my system now and working. Performance is exactly what it should be, XMP 3600MHz is working as intended, not getting any WHEA errors. Cinbench score is even a bit higher than from most reviewers because of my watercooling setup. Basically, no problems at all with my Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro with the latest BIOS version. Everything works perfectly.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Well, your the lucky one, now did you stress test the ram?

i did still no response

I'd bet money your problem is that you need to USB flash the bios, and it can be finicky sometimes.  No boards right now are 5000 series compatible out of the box. Were you able to successfully flash it (red bios flash light blinks for about 5 minutes, then stops)?

I even overclocked my CPU and memory yesterday. My CPU runs at 4.7GHz all-core now at 1.3125V and my memory sitting at 3600MHz cl14 at 1.45V. Ran several stress tests yesterday to validate stability for my CPU overclock and haven't experienced any crashes. I also had memtest86 running overnight and it didn't have any errors when i checked this morning before work. Basically no problems for me this far. Even with everything overclocked and tightened timings on the memory. While gaming yesterday i also did not have any crashes or performance issues.

How much increase in performance do you get when oc'ing cpu, I heard it doesn't really increase performance and isn't working, also, how do you cool it?

From cinebench i jumped from a score of 4350 with stock settings to 4630 with my OC. So about + 6,5% in multicore performance. Temps stay at ~70°C under full load with custom watercooling.

 

6,5% more performance for 30 minutes of tweaking is a pretty good uplift imo. Definetly worth it for me.

I have yet to test how the memory tweak affected performance.

A 280mm AiO should be enough too to get the most out of it in terms of OC. GamersNexus actually also achieved 4.7GHz all-core with a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm AiO. The only reason i have a custom water loop is that i also have to cool a hot-headed 3080 and want my PC to be silent while doing it.

For example:

ekwb.com

alphacool.de

 

Pretty much any watercooling brand has AM4 waterblocks. You don't need one specifically for the 5600X. You just have to look out for the Socket AM4 in the compatibility list. Both of my mentioned vendors also sell RTX 3080/3090 waterblocks.

Both ekwb and alphacool have plenty of 3080 waterblocks in stock.
