Hi everyone i am looking for the best,  motherboard, cooler, memory and case for socket am5 and 9950x?

i recently bought 9950x,

I'll asume US for simplicity so this should cover you on every front

or if you wanna skip the BIOS update

For cooling

Or if you also wanna be extra quiet with it

For memory there isnt a "best" brand or kit

As long as it is 6000mhz and CL30 its the "best" kit

 

And case is completely up to what you like so just choose one you like that cna support your mobo and and cooler

Can i get this memory is it ok for my amd cpu ?

Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 5200MHz

 

or 5200mhz is too slow and i need to buy 6000mhz or up please advice? i already have noctua older 1st gen on my intel now its very pricey at around 150 euro and ++++ i used msi in the paste and they was junk, how about asus,as rock, gigabyte, and other brands i really dont like msi since i always have issues with them?

i also like if possible motherboard to have 6 or 8 slots for ddr 5 memory and fast pci express 5 at least 2...

for cooling is this a good option

Get 6000cl30 ram.

 

Why do you want an 8 slot ramboard?  Where are you learning this?

6000mzh cl30

Nothing more nothing less

You will need new thermal paste if you are gonna re use a cooler so skip the brands like msi gigabyte etc and just get some thermal grizzly or corsair

Why 6 or 8 slots? First off you wont be able to run more than 2 sticks with high speeds and you 1000% wont ever need more than 4 slots or you are going for a server rack not a PC

And the motherboards I linked do have PCIe 5 which also you wont need but they have regardless

Sure why not

 

 

Also type normally and be more precise with your question so we can accurately answer and skip using chat gpt and the such

Well since you're replacing your 5820k, it doesn't seem to be all that future proof, now does it?

 

6000Cl30 is not 100 more than 5200

 

Example of Germany pricing...

 

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#Z=65536002&b=ddr5&sort=price&page=1

 

Cheapest 5200 is 148, the cheapest 6000CL30 is 177.   Other countries may be more or less, but 30-40 is norm for difference.

 

Maybe just believe us a little bit more?

 I prefer G. SKill but any RAM at that speed will be fine.  Only a few manufacturers actually make the RAM, the rest just put it together and brand it.

i have already Corsair dominator titanium  64gb ddr 5 6400mhz, for intel xpm profile , the deal was good, thats why i bought it instead of amd expo. Can you tell me good motherboard or absolute best for my components so far :)?

 

What are my options for motherboard i definetely dont like and want msi.

 

are there solid picks from ASUS,Gigabyte, or someone else? high end.

High end?  Do you have a feature set you need or you just want to pay a lot?

Not sure it needs to be said, but we know what you have already and we know how to put like with like, and our usual goal is to save you money without sacrificing performance.

 

Personally, I am unsure why you bought the 9950X and that RAM since you state it's Intel RAM and an AMD CPU.  It seems like you're just buying things at a whim when they go on sale?

[elfer]

I have bought one of the best memory,

Corsair dominator titanium  64gb ddr 5 6400mhz, for intel xpm

price was great and item is brand new is there a way to run it on amd expo will i loose anything?

Which brand of motherboards are extremely reliable and stable, something from asus,gigabyte and as rock for am5 platform, msi have tons of issues so i will avoid them also their godlike series is very pricey.

 

 

this hero motherboard cost more than my cpu it self...

any other options from gigabyte or someone else? simular specs better price or no way?

 

how about motherboards with 670e vs 870e? 670e are cheaper ?

 

 

i consider ,  x670e aorus master gigabyte,  x870e aorus master gigabyte, and asus hero x870e ? which one to go , x670e is the cheapest others are pricey.

What are you trying to do with this system? Future proofing is often a fool’s goal and buying at the high end is really only practical for specific use cases. For instance, in the long run for most uses it’s better to buy upper mid to low high end then just upgrade more frequently.

[elfer]

I will play games + virtual machines,

+ other activities, a lot of resource hungry tasks.

i want ultra reliable machine reboots or blue screen of death is not an option and i read horror stories about msi, as rock, asus, and gigabyte that mb die or a lot of blue screen of deaths and issues with am5 platform, and also bad bioses...  i upgrade once per 10 or 15 years so now is the time.

[freeagent]

Then you need to research the parts that you want to use for the next decade. X99 was eons ago, a lot has changed since then.

 

Figure out what you want to do, make a budget, find parts that fit in it. Pretty easy.

 

Since you already bought the ram you need to check the QVL of whatever board you buy and see if they will play together.

You don’t need to be looking at consumer level hardware then.
