Hmm that is actually kind of weird as I never heard of that problem. Is it just some kits or some boards? Cause with mine, 6000 Expo always worked. I was able to go up to 6200Mhz without issues. Was your board listed in the QVL list for Kingston or Memory on Asus?

As a side note, I did install the new BIOS from Asus and turned on Expo with my 6000mhz kit and yea, it fixed the voltage issues based on my tests. I did a ton of benches and such and the SoC voltage never went above 1.27 volts. So I'd say that with the BIOS Asus as released, the main issue should largely be fixed.

I haven't downloaded the latest one yet, was at work until this morning. But mine hasn't gone above 4400, it was in a press release earlier as well, a part of the temporary solution was to limit certain options (on the 4.10 release of BIOS drivers) but it could be fixed now!

Edit; the driver for my particular board is still in Beta, I'll hold off a little longer just in case.

Least they acknowledge it which is good. Mine still has two betas but one of the new releases that's out of beta locks the SoC voltage to 1.3 max. Make sure to update to that one at the very least.

Wall of text ahead. You can skip it if you want.

*snip*

Hey, just wanted to chime in here as well. As some of you know, I got the ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO motherboard, and despite the recent troubles I'm quite happy with it. I also went with the ASUS TUF version of my GPU, so figured it was a great fit. As for compatibility, ASUS are really great, and support a wide variety of RAM and specs. I also have a 6000MHz kit (Kingston FURY Beast CL36), and just want to point out that right now, your 6000MHz kit will be limited to 4400 or so due to the MOBO issues. They have no choice but to fix this, but regardless of your EXPO settings, the memory can't surpass that frequency on these boards right now. I'd go for the 6000 kit regardless, as they will fix the issue in time. It would be a bad look otherwise, with both DDR5 kits and AM5 needing traction in the market, ASUS would be silly not to be on top of this.

I think your plan/build sounds good. And, yes indeed, shit is expensive. I still can't quite wrap my head around how much my build cost me, all things included.

Your opinion is more than welcome.

My plan is to leave the RAM running at standard specs until Asus manages to get its sh*t together, and then turn on EXPO. Seems like the mosr sensible thing to do.

By the way, does your run at 4400? I thought the standard was 4800.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Launches on 24th May & AMD Radeon RX 7600 8 GB On 25th May

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-8-gb-launches-24th-may-amd-radeon-rx-7600-8-gb-25th-may/

It's like they sat at a family dinner table and decided when to launch these products

More like both have talked with their contacts in retail to learn when the other one was going to launch something. Sketchy, but passable.

What has me more interested, tho, is the rumored price of the 7600. Yes, I know it's not going to be a great GPU, but if it does launch close to the rumored $250, it could be a banger, even with only 8GB of VRAM.

ASUS introduces GeForce RTX 4090 TUF OG series with RTX 3090 Ti cooler

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-introduces-geforce-rtx-4090-tuf-og-series-with-rtx-3090-ti-cooler

So the announcement of an announcement that they made last week was for more 4090 cards. Great, just what we all needed.

I'm surprised Yuri hasn't posted it, but GamersNexus has posted the second part of their exploding CPU analysis. It's more technical than the first one:

The chip melted copper. Wow.

I'm really looking forward to part three where they talk about the "scumbag practices" (his words) from Asus. They won't be making any friends over there.

Meh I watched it and it was mostly a nothing burger other than if you wanted to see cool shots of a dead cpu.

But cool shots are that, cool. And it's a way to learn more about how CPUs are built.

So you're kind of playing all the Street Fighter games you have and then you'll play another fighting game. Sound more like a theme run ratehr than a franchise run, but it's more than ok.

And I see that you're going with an RPG, fighting and (mostly) action games playthrough at the moment. Sounds fun, tho I'd need to go through some relaxing or slow paced game between those, but maybe that's what you get with the RPGs.

Well I do have Ultra Street Fighter II on Switch along with Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS4/XBO/PC , and the Street Fighter 30th anniversary collection on Switch/PS4/XBO/PC which I havent played yet but I'll get to it in the future.

And yep, its a theme run.

I'm playing more than 3 games though, these are just three on PC.

^ Is pretty much what I'm playing now along with that pretty much all I play is on my YT channel.

I'm going to sound like one of your grandparents, but I have to: Basil, you're playing too many videogames.

Indeed, they are so complex nowadays that it's insane to look at. It made me wonder, though, how die stacking would even be possible with these insane thermoelectric shenanigans around the FEOL. Ideally you could use superconductors for the interconnects but...

Yeah, I have that one installed already. Not taking any chances.

@JEMC : Yeah, sorry, I meant 4800MHz! I remember it being a 20% decrease.

TOTK more or less doubled in performance in Ryujinx during the last week, for those interested (fortunately, but as I had expected).

Epic rant on how Asus is handling the situation. Honestly it feels like both AMD and Intel need to talk with their partners about whether or not Expo/XMP actually voids warranty or not. While I get that there is a lot of potential in the user manually tuning their memory to have crazy high voltages, it just feels silly that both AMD and Intel show off their performance numbers with Expo/XMP on and then the motherboard vendors can say well Expo/XMP isn't warrantied. Regardless of which, Asus went extra scummy this time around by providing a disclaimer that they won't warranty their beta bios which is also stupid.
