>>108804478Everything after the first two lines is 100% your fault
>>108804478You still saved money
>>108804478Why'd you have to upgrade the CPU?
>>108804478You could have stuck this shit into pcpartpicker and it would have told you all of this beforehand.
>>108804655ddr5 is so fucked up, that unless you buy jdec ram, there's no guarantee of compatibility, even if you buy amd and the ram says xmp-compatible, you need to check the per-motherboard compatibility status.https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI/support#memwhen I got this motherboard, the old ddr5 ram I had was incompatible, but 1 year later they dropped an update and it's now compatible.
>>108804837No fucking idea why they got away with this scam for this gen of RAM. Consumers are just gullible I guess.>DDR4>can mix and match pretty much any variation of MT/s, ranks, CL, and capacity and it would still work 65% of the time>just need to run it at something everything agreed on but otherwise worked fine>DDR5>Sometimes doesn't even run at the XMP speeds it's marketed as>Sorry bro you can't actually put four sticks in this four slot motherboard>It might not even boot, but if it does enjoy your 3600 MT/s lol>Mixing capacity is also verboten>If your RAM doesn't have exactly this many ranks and chips then buy a different motherboardLike, fuckin hell.
>>108804871yeah also I forgot the part where your cpu needs to 'test' the ram on every boot, sometime taking 30 seconds, and other times taking 20 minutes.oh and rebooting is impossible, because the ram is still hot and the cpu can't properly test it.
>>108804875only amd have this problem because they use a shitty IMC
>>108804641novideo driver overhead is crippling
OP is why age of consent laws exist
>>108804974nahh, if he invited me over i would give him advice on how to build his computer in between pounding his ass.
>>108804478You deserved this for being this incompetent. I'd understand things like getting confused on the meaning of K and non k Intel processors, not counting the watts needed for a new setup. But you had to ignore huge warning signs telling you your build doesnt work to get to this point. Idk how a 3080 and and a 5070 arent on the same power field? And why you needed to buy a new cpu at all desu. Sounds like you went to micro center and got whored by someone on commission
