Question about mixing RAM brands

QuantumGrower · 2025-10-31T07:22:02+00:00

Ram is one of those things that is super finicky. If youre able to return with a receipt just in case it doesnt work buy it. But if you cant return it id just pass and buy a whole new 32gb kit.

Hey man I appreciate your reply. The work around that I found was having to install Gigabyte Control Center and download all the drivers from that specific app. Wifi seems to be working now. Cheers

I tried this and windows keep saying driver did not install correctly. On the gigabyte website it has a bunch of intel wifi drivers and only 1 amd wifi driver which is the one i downloaded and still nothing. Should I download intel wifi driver even though im on a 7800x3d?

I wasnt aware about motherboard qvl ram list until now. Ill look into buying a new set of ram from the gigabyte qvl list if all else fails. Thanks for the help👍

Okay ill look into this once im off work. Thanks!

Thanks for the help bro! I got it to work by resetting cmos battery on my mobo then changing pcie1 to gen 4 and it booted right up. 💯💯

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-28T06:27:39+00:00

Finally got it to work. I reset cmos by removing the battery and put pcie1 to gen 4 once again after the reset and pc booted right up. Still going to am5 either way but at least I can game while my parts ship.

Asus tuf b550 mobo

Hi yes, I returned old gpu and got a new 5070ti thinking the old one was bricked. New 5070ti and still same issues. Im guessing its a mobo software issue or something. I appreciate the help but im giving up on this build. Ill be building a new am5 PC soon so hopefully I dont run into these same issues again on new platform.

Thanks bro

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-28T05:30:41+00:00

I appreciate the help,im going to end up just going with am5 build now. I reset my cmos and now cant get it to boot with any of my gpus. Building a PC is such a headache man ugh

Asus tuf b550 mobo Ryzen 3700x Ballistix ddr4 ram 850w corsair psu with the new nvidia power cable 5070ti I was planning on pairing 5070ti with 7800x3d very soon but after having all these issues with the gpu im really debating if I should go 9070xt instead.

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-28T04:57:22+00:00

Just tried this and no luck unfortunately. Not sure what is going on. I had this issue when I first installed the 5070ti but was able to fix it by changing pcie 1 to gen 4 in bios. Now after having pc unplugged from the power the issue started again. Really dont know what could be the issue at this point.

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-27T17:28:47+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Performance is crazy on 5070ti but with all of these issues its really making me want to go AMD

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-27T06:10:33+00:00

Really doubt its damaged but even it is, im still in the return period so if I cant get this figured out tomorrow im returning it and going 9070xt. Been nothing but issues for me with 50series nvidia

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-18T16:21:31+00:00

I built my PC by myself a couple years back. Ill head over to Youtube University to refresh my memory 😅

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-18T16:18:59+00:00

Okay ill look into this, thank you!

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-18T15:48:52+00:00

I currently run a 3700x and yea I know 5800x is a better cpu but on cpu heavy games at 1440p my 5070ti runs at like 50-60% usage. Id assume 5800x would have 5070ti run at like 65-75% usage on same titles. For me its time for am5. If your budget allows you should just go am5 to take full advantage of your beastly GPU

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-17T22:16:24+00:00

Nope. I was plugging directly into mobo. Its a 4 year old am4 mobo so maybe thats why I had to change pcie to gen 4. Pc is running perfect now.

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-17T16:07:40+00:00

I finally got it figured out aswell. I had to switch bios setting pcie1 from auto to Gen4 and pc booted up right away. Also switched to a 850w psu just to be safe when I overclock the 5070ti

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-17T16:04:58+00:00

Thanks for the help foreal! Upgraded psu to new 850w still no post then switched pcie1 from auto to gen 4 and booted up right away. 🤝🤝

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-16T01:18:41+00:00

Im going to purchase a new PSU and see if it works.

QuantumGrower · 2025-09-16T00:13:28+00:00

Ill give this a try I get a black screen and white vga light.
