You won't know it's the GPU until you can test in another system. Assuming you've confirmed all cables and GPU are properly seated. Clean contacts, no damage? The GPU light staying on could be as simple as the card not being seated or perhaps the new motherboard might have issues with the...

With an x3d AM4 CPU ram timings really don't make much of a difference. The x3d cache more than makes up for slower timings. Faster timings don't really make a difference when compared to a non x3d cpu. Personally I would stick to 32 GB (2X16), 4 sticks of 8GB could pose a problem. That being...

I doubt you are using 16GB now, so no. Zero impact. None. Not even a lil bit.

You can also just run the 5800x in eco mode through the Ryzen Master software. Essentially runs the 5800x like a 65 watt 5700x. If your case can handle it, a downward facing fan above the VRM should help keep things cooler.

Chances are the cpu is holding the ram back. I had a 1600x which barely ran 3200mhz B-die and it wasn't really stable. 3xxx & 5xxx cpu's didn't have any issues running that ram and there was a noteable bump in performance. Same prime plus b350 board went from 1600x-3700x-5700x. Ram from...

I've had good luck with an older deepcool as500 plus. The AK620 should have no problem at all keeping that cpu cool.

-30 is probably causing WHEA errors in event viewer. You may want to see what cores are the starred "favorite" cores in Ryzen master and try -15 on those two. If you decide to do it in the future. High performance should not raise a power bill noticeably. How old are your SSD's? How full? You...

DDU Driver uninstall, make sure BIOS is up to date.

I'd try something like enable DOCP / XMP and try 16-18-18-36 @ 1.35V If that doesn't work, maybe 18-18-18-38. If that doesn't work, pull the 2 mcron and test at XMP and then pull the samsung and test the micron. You may only be able to run 2 sticks in A2/B2 slots. Sounds like it's not a...

What model ram? Which slots? Google ram cleaning eraser and follow the steps.

Go AM5 if you think you'll want to do a drop in upgrade in another 5 years. AM4 if you want to max out this gen and wait till AM6 Although I would recommend looking at the 5700x unless you've got a decent cooler. 99.5% of the performance without heavy duty cooling needed

Nice! Keep your eyes on event viewer for any WHEA errors. I thought I was stable at -30, but was getting a few. Ended up going -15 & -20 on the favored cores (gold and silver stars in Ryzen Master. No more errors.

Does event viewer show anything? Have you done a DDU driver uninstall?

Amd am4 mem controllers are a little finicky. They really like Samsung B-die. Which unfortunately is expensive in 32gb. Benefit of the x3d chips as stated above is all that extra cache really makes tight ram timings unnecessary. Look at your motherboard QVL list and find something that works...

Agreed, sell the old 4 stick kit, get a decent 3600 16-16-16 2x16gb kit or something similar. Ideally something off the motherboard QVL list.
