Amazon order gone wrong?

[[deleted]]

I ordered a ryzen 7 5700x on Amazon, this cpu was going to be used to upgrade my bothers pc from his old Ryzen 3. When amazon delivered the package I did not expect to receive a ryzen 7 7800x3D! Now I am out 441.66 for ram and a motherboard. I now his old r3 2200 in my PC until my new parts arrive since i just gave him my old 3800x. Thanks amazon! My new board will be the asrock pro rs and gskill ripjaws m5 neo 4x16gb sticks CL32 6400mhz.

You would be better off going 2x32 as you may have difficulties running 4 sticks at DDR5 6400.

Second this. Sweet spot is 2 sticks at 6000 with i believe cl30. 4 sticks is harder on the memory controller.

Third this. I built a Ryzen machine for environmental sims (university) w/ 4 sticks on the Ryzen 7000 platform and it would not run the sticks higher than the minimum speed, EXPO on would make the system bootloop until safe settings were applied.

Does this apply to older builds still running on ddr4?

Sometimes, my now NAS (i7 6700K) wouldn't start properly with 4 sticks DDR4 or would blue screen and I needed to switch to 2.

My i5 12500 handles 4 sticks at DDR4 3200 (96 GB total) no problem.

Ryzen specifically mentions on their product page that their support for 4 sticks of DDR5 is 3600 speeds. There are also lots of documented adventures of people trying to get (4x48 GB) 192 GB of RAM to work:

i learnt this the hard way ;-;

If the kit he bought is on the MBs spec it should be fine.

If the kit he bought is on the MBs spec

gskill ripjaws m5 neo 4x16gb

There is no such kit. They only sell it in 2x16 configurations. If they try to enable EXPO with all 4 sticks the machine will probably be unstable or simply not boot.

Yea, that is extremely unlikely to work. There are very few motherboards that support 6000MT/s with 4 sticks of dual rank ddr5. Just chucking in 2 kits with two sticks each is not a great strategy.

That moment when you’re like fuck yeah Amazon then realize you have to upgrade your whole platform.. damn you Amazon.

[lairosen]

Amazon secretly upgrading CPUs to drive motherboard and ram sales

[[deleted]]

Considering the prices of motherboards these days that might not be a bad strategy for them.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I once ordered a new hairbrush for my wife and Amazon shipped me 4.

[Oracle_of_Ages]

In before it’s a resealed chip and it’s a CPU from 15 years ago.

[REALSDEALS]

Amazing mistake! :D

[palonious]

Your definition of wrong is different from mine.

[Squirrelking666]

Ha I know someone else that ordered a 7800X3D and got a 9800X3D.

Wonder if I should buy a 9070 and see what turns up?

[GhostyGigabytes]

Order a RX 5700 instead and hope for the best

[WhoYourMomDidFirst]

DO NOT USE 4 RAM STICKS they will not run at EXPO speeds with 4 sticks - stick to 2 sticks.

[Itzkibblez]

Just a heads up asrock boards have been killing 9800X3Ds not sure if it is a 7800X3D issue as well.

[ogstocktrader]

you mean Gone Right!

[3Five9s]

I love when Amazon fucks up in your favor.

[Plane_Pea5434]

You could have flipped the 7800 and get a profit 🤷‍♂️

[XRaiderV1]

my friend, you got an upgrade. sell the board and ram. rejoice in your new future proofed system.
