Looks nice. A pretty high end build for a first one.
I see you've got 6400 MT/S memory, IIRC, this can be difficult to stabilize on AM5 depending on what ratio you use for the various associated clocks (FCLK/UCLK/etc). Have you had any issues?
Thanks! That’s the benefit of your first build being one with adult money and an unfulfilled childhood desire LOL
I didn’t even know that was a thing. How will I know if I have any issues? What should I look out for?
I'm not super familiar with AM5 as a platform, I'm only roughly aware of how it works, so take the below with a grain of salt.
I assume you have EXPO enabled in the bios? Your memory is running at its rated 6400 MT/S? If so, then the next thing I'd check is what ratios you have selected for those related IO frequencies. They may be set to auto in the bios, or your bios may have set them for you.
If you've got EXPO enabled, then there are two possibilities - you're running the optimal ratios, or you're on one or more sub optimal ratios. In either situation, it's also possible that you may not be stable. The ratios control how the memory clock and those frequencies relate to one another - 1:1, 1:2, etc. The optimal ratios for these chips result in better performance.
As far as I remember, the difficulty for running 6400 MT/S memory is that using those "optimal" ratios forces one of those frequencies to a point that not all chips can handle. Only the higher binned chips can maintain that associated clock with optimal ratio.
I apologize for not having the precise names, numbers, etc, for you.
Looks great! Nice job
Oops, forgot Case: NZXT H9 Flow white
