Question Just bought a 7800x3d can you recommend a good motherboard that is stable and ram to go with it ?

I have just bought a 7800x3d processor was gonna go with msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi, but there seems to be a bios problem at the moment just want a motherboard that will work with the 7800x3d without having to flash bios etc and a decent 2 x 16gb ddr5 ram kit. What motherboard and ram kit will work out of the box. Any help will be much appreciated thanks

You run the risk of any board having to need a bios update for that chip. Only way to guarantee out of the box support, is to be in a physical store, and the box saying it supports the x3d chips, on the box.

So it doesn't mean any brand is better than another no. So any b650 motherboard will be okay right

I have had good luck with Gigabyte, on AM4, myself, so I would personally consider one of their boards for an AM5 build. A B650 Elite AX has been on my short list for awhile now. I have a friend that has been really happy with his x670 Elite AX, and he is using a 7800x3d.

Yes, that is the board that I have been looking at, if I am ever able to upgrade to AM5, in the near future.

I was thinking of this board before I'm hoping to build with it , is there any risk putting the pc together without doing the bios flashback or can I put it together wait for it to post then flash the bios in bios.

 

[logainofhades]

Looking at the CPU support page, you might not even need to update the bios, to get it to post, but I would still recommend updating regardless. The board must have came out after the x3d chips launched.

You can flash the bios on that board before installing the cpu.

Thanks for the reply which version as I downloaded the latest and now it has been removed from site. Also I have to rename file MSI.ROM and put on a fat32 formated usb stick is that correct.

Which one should I download the beta 7D75v1C2 or 7D75v1B one before

 

[logainofhades]

I would not use a beta bios, unless it was fixing a major problem.
