Dear goated people of the Toms Hardware forums: Yesterday I tried to get advice on my next build, which I‘ll purchase next week or the week after that. Depending on how fast my issue can be solved. The subreddit I chose for this, suggested, that my case needs higher knowledge and hence should be...
I wanted to disable my iGPU so I went in BIOS to do so. After doing it, screen went black and I couldn't get a signal. Monitor was connected to my 7800XT. Cleared CMOS and got a signal. Went back in and put on PBO again since BIOS settings were reset, and also enabled the RAM to run at full...
Having a hell of a time setting up my new PC I built on Black Friday.
I'll try to post as much valuable info as possible.

Hi! I am helping my friend to build a new PC but something weird is happening. Whenever I put the RAM on the first, second or third slot, it doesn't POST and the amber lights for CPU and DRAM come on and only the fans spin. This shouldn't be happening, right? The motherboard is gigabyte z790 UD...
I am looking to build a Threadripper Pro system. I do NOT use creative software, CAD, video editing, animation, or much data science work currently, BUT am interested in extreme multitasking. I usually have thousands of browser tabs and at least 30 programs open at once; I also use some VMs -...
I have a system I built 6 years ago. It is my office desktop that also serves as my network server - mostly music to Sonos and photos to large screen tv via jriver.

I want to get a new build, and I was wondering is it worth upgrading to a DDR5 or should I wait for a while.

How can I check if my system or some parts is using PCIe 4.0 or 3.0? And something about lanes..
Maybe the gfx card is at 3.0 and that would be "ok". But for other parts I want...
Hi everyone,
I recently built a new computer and have been running into an intermittent issue related to my RAM (I think).
After I got windows installed and got everything updated (BIOS, chipset, etc.) I restarted my system and configured EXPO. I enabled it and left the profile to auto, which...

I've been using this PC for approximately 6 months perfectly well from Jan to June. One day, it failed to POST, so I took it to the store. They diagnosed the issue as a malfunctioning RAM module, replaced it, and the PC booted up fine. It worked perfectly well for the next 6 days, but on the 7th...
Hi!
Currently building a PC for someone, haven't done that in a long time so I'm a bit out of the loop hardware-wise. Looking for any kind of feedback on the following build. Was wondering a few particular things:
1) We went for a DDR5 build so they could upgrade it long term. Is it worth to...
F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RK G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB vs F5-6400J3239G32GX2-RS5K G.Skill RipJaws S5, both rams seem to have the exact same specifications except for physical ones, like size, heatsink & so on, should I expect their performance to be identical if I'm not overclocking "aside from using...
I am perfectly aware that GDDR5 dedicated vRAM (first to have come with the Radeon HD 4870 in 2008) is greatly different from DDR5 system memory which has come out shortly onto the market.
I know my question may not be answered fully and entirely correctly, however, I would like to pose it...

hello,
I just installed a DDR5 Corsair 16GB x2 on my asus prime Z790A motherboard. It runs fine although it's detected at BIOS only at 4800 mhz and not 6000 mhz.
On asus RAM compatibility checker we have: Corsair CMT32GX5M2X6000C36 and my product id is CMH32GX5M2D6000C36 so it's just one...
Hi,
So, I'm building a budget AMD DDR5 build for a friend.
It's the first time I've built a DDR5 machine so am being super careful.
So I price up a rig on PC part picker (see here:https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7TVrJM ). But, when I come to double checking the compatibility on the motherboard...
Hi first of all I need to mentioned that now I have 2 sticks of DDR4 on 3600mhz cl16 (16-19-19-19-39) single ranked Hynix
Ok what is the best DDR4 ram kit to get for update for my 5800x3d? :]
- 4 sticks from 8gb = 32gb 4000mhz cl16 (16-16-16-32) dual ranked (cost 200$)
- or it will be...
Hey, yesterday I finally finished building my PC.
When I started it for the first time everything was working well and I left it on to download some games over night.
When I woke up I took it apart again just to clean up some cables etc. the only thing I disconnected was the Pcie Riser Cable...
I recently purchased a prime z790-p wifi, 13700k, and g.skill ripjaw s5 6000 16x2gb memory. For reasons unknown to me, I am having issues getting it to run at the advertised speed. Xmp only results in an endless loop and will not boot. Manually setting it to higher speed does the same. I noticed...
Hi guys,
i am thinking of getting the following Mainboard & CPU:
- Intel i7 13700k
- MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI (DDR4 Version or DDR5 Version)
I would love to use either G.Skill Trident Z RGB or Corsair Dominator, each 64 GB.
For the DDR5-Version, i think a 6000er would be fine. 2x32 GB.
For...
So I ordered "open box" 4800Mhz RAM from Beach Audio but it won't be here until Tuesday and I'm supposed to build my new desktop on Sunday so I quickly got Best Buy to a delivery of the same type by tomorrow, or, almost the same, it's 5600Mhz, and yes I do want 64GB ultimately so I guess I'll...

I have been seeing videos stating that the boot times for the AMD 7000 series / AM5 platform is very slow. Like 45 seconds or more. From what I understand this is from the AM5 board trying to gauge the speed of the DDR5 ram.
Was this just an issue early adopters had which got eventually...

Hello, so I'm considering upgrading my several-years-old PC.
What I have:
What I may buy:
Are the components fully compatible? What issues may I have? Is the upgrade good overall (don't pay attention to the GPU - it will get its upgrade sometime too)?
And what concerns me is that Zen 4...
I have a newly built PC with DDR5 RAM and today I tried to enable XMP for the first time. Booting to Windows hasn't resulted in any issues so far. First pass of Memtest86+ was ok, but the second pass resulted in 4 errors. I'm not an OC expert at all, so I could use some direction as to what I...

Hello!
I am looking for parts that I'll eventually buy & use for my next build, next year.
I am looking for DDR5 RAM modules that run at the fastest possible speed by default @1.1V, no XMP.
This is the fastest DDR5 kit I came across:
Corsair SKU CMK32GX5M2A4800C34 (2x16GB DDR5-4800 CL34...
Hello ive recently build a new PC with a i9 13900k z970-f gaming wifi motherboard 4090 and also 32gb corsair dominator platinum rbg ddr5 ram and im having an issue. Basically sometimes randomly i will try to restart my pc and everything will shut off but the fans and pc will stay on and my...
My Z790 motherboard only support dual-channel config and I'm currently running DDR5 5200Mhz CL36 8GB+8GB in dual channel, planning to go 32GB but is it good if I just get a single DIMM of 16GB of the same brand and specs and just do 8+8+16? Will it actually still run dual-channel because I've...
The titles speaks for itself. Can the ASUS TUF Z790 and Z690 D4 Models support DDR5. Their point is to be compatible with DDR4 but that being when a consumer gets DDR5 can it be replaced or do they need to purchase the NON-D4 model.
Thank you!
Do latest AMD Ryzen CPUs (Zen 4) support DDR5 read/write CRC feature? If I am not mistaken, Intel 13-generation CPUs do not support this:
"Alert: This signal is used at command training only. It is getting the Command and Address Parity error flag during training. CRC feature is not supported"...
Just built a new computer and it keeps restarting. Finally got windows 11 to tell me it's a memory problem. I've tried each stick (I have 4 sticks of 32GB DDR5 4800 corsairs vengeance(ik WAY TOO MUCH but I felt like it)) on its own and windows 11 always crashes.
