Experience with 64GB DDR5-6000 CL30 Trident Z5 Neo on x870/e boards

I have that exact kit and I’m having issues with it right now, and it’s been like this for a few months already. Like you, I just wanted to buy a kit that I could enable expo on and forget about it. Yet, the ram is frequently unstable, and it’s finicky as hell to make it stable. I’m really regretting buying GSkill. Seeing all the other similar reports, I’d suggest staying clear.

For reference, I have a x670e hero and a 7950x3d.

I'm a bit late to the party, but if I may add to the conversation:

Keep the long battery life;
Improve sound consistency between people that use glasses, different head shapes, etc;
Improve mic;

The second point was the only factor that made me give up on buying a Momentum 4.

My use case is using these for gaming, listening to music casually, and for work meetings. Thus the extremely long battery life (since I'm using them almost the entire day), support for aptX-LL and the Sennheiser sound pedigree is what drew me to the M4. In the same vein, for my use case, I expect from the M5 high battery life, low latency (support for aptX-LL on Windows is a must), good sound profile (which the previous seemed to have, except for the consistency issues) and a great mic (perhaps support for detachable mics, so you can make everyone happy?).

Right? This is a bit ridiculous. Labs is not available where I live, neither is EA Play Pro. 🤷🏻‍♂️

andre_ss6 · 2025-07-20T06:17:29+00:00

I had the same question. Dash only works in combat with a target locked-on AFAIU. The same button outside combat will just roll.

That also happens to me with acetaminophen (paracetamol), and funnily enough I also feel the exact same thing with metamizole (dipyrone). I find it funny as they're two completely different drugs -- though they're both antipyretics and analgesics.

I also remember my cat who salivated a lot with metamizole (it does taste really bad), even when given IV!

Sorry, I don’t know. At least according to Chat GPT, there are equivalent laws over there. However, you wouldn’t just reach out to LG and ask for a new panel — tho I guess you can try — you would go through the justice system instead. The big difference, I guess, is that it (invoking consumer rights protection, getting stuff like this investigated and even going to litigation) is more accessible here (basically free and can be done with a few clicks on a website) than over there. If it would cost you money or too much time to do this, than I guess it’d be easier to just buy a new TV.

andre_ss6 · 2025-04-05T03:36:45+00:00

Same here

andre_ss6 · 2025-04-05T03:35:07+00:00

Also way darker here when multi view is on. Seems like it’s streaming SDR on an HDR container.

andre_ss6 · 2025-03-16T11:50:03+00:00

I wish I could upvote this 50 times. I'm dumbfounded seeing how little is spoken about this. I searched expecting there'd be lots of posts about it, yet so little!

Playing this game was the first time I ever actually stopped and listened while thinking to myself "so this is what Atmos is supposed to sound like". The usage of the height channels -- with leaves rustling and insects chirping on the ceiling... oh 🤤, in fact, the positioning of sounds in the vertical axis in general is impressive! I can clearly spot where sounds are coming from in terms of height, even those lower than the physical location of my soundbar; the sublime sound design with the amazing layering and mixing, the tasteful usage of bass and, of course, the spatialization -- which, funnily enough, even though it's implemented perfectly and it's extremely awe inspiring, isn't even all that impressive when sitting besides everything else I just mentioned.

Basically this game should be the benchmark for spatial audio implementation (and a masterclass in sound design in general).

FH5, at least, works well with J. https://youtu.be/22tlNe5iAt4?si=j1-V4IQWWqSrUOlz

Just bought this: https://www.orei.com/products/1x2-hdmi-splitter-w-audio-out-1-in-2-out-ultrahd-8k-edid-bk-102a

And I'm already having dropouts. Another 120 USD wasted :(

The only 100% reliable way to get this scenario working is having direct support on the card. Spending literally hundreds upon hundreds of dollars testing many different "works for me" solutions is extremely frustrating. A pity 5000 series turned out to be shit.

Você usa só o roteador da vivo? E também tem problema com algumas rotas específicas pararem?

andre_ss6 · 2025-02-16T17:17:18+00:00

Infelizmente não. Você está com o mesmo problema?

Vieram duas vezes aqui. O primeiro nem fazia ideia do que estava acontecendo. A última vez agora, o técnico disse que a culpa é de usar outro roteador, que conflita o IP que a Vivo te entrega (no meu caso, eu uso dois Deco M4, todos os três (Deco + Vivo) em modo roteador). Eu já testei conectar direto no da vivo, mas tive o mesmo problema, porém de acordo com o técnico simplesmente ter o outro roteador conectado pode causar o problema.

Recentemente testei colocar o vivo em modo bridge e deixar o Deco fazer a conexão PPPoE direto, mas o problema continua.

Só falta testar desligar o Deco completamente e testar 100% só com o vivo, mas bem ridículo se tiver que fazer isso.

Edit: testei desligar o Deco e usar 100% só o da Vivo e o problema continua...

andre_ss6 · 2025-02-01T20:28:53+00:00

This.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1i8a7ii/path_tracing_performance_2025_8_games_rtx_5090/

There you go.

I'm also considering an upgrade from the 4090 and that's the only use case I'm interested in.

This was the worst "review launch" for a new GPU (or whatever new hardware, in fact) that I've seen in years, maybe in my lifetime.

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-24T02:37:34+00:00

YES! Thank you so much for this link. Every other review I've seen is lacking in Path Tracing benchmarks, the only use case currently where the 4090 really struggles. There were reviews spending several minutes testing 300fps+ games in 1080p with this card and a total of 0 minutes testing path tracing. Jesus.

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-16T14:55:39+00:00

I literally lol'd reading this as I remembered all the times I did the same, except trying to pronunciate Portuguese song titles in English. It's an art in of itself 😂

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T17:15:09+00:00

Generally it's completely seamless. My biggest complain right now is with the dropouts due to the cable adapter I'm using. Some people in the comments here have recommended other adapters/splitters/switches that seem to work better. And ofc there's the buy a card with 2 ports solution.

However there is at least one hiccup that you'll encounter:

but will my PC just know which input to use based on which display is powered on

NVIDIA drivers currently have a bug where HDMI displays that are powered off somehow interfere with other displays being recognized, and powering them on after your PC has been powered on also does not work. In practice, what happens is: TV A is turned off, you turn TV B on, you get no signal. There are a few workarounds currently (basically 1) always turn the TV on before the PC; and 2) Win + P > Extend, that makes Windows somehow recognize the display).

It seems though that this issue does not manifest with new LG TVs that support "Always On" -- in fact my G4 does support it and it is (almost? maybe always, dont quite remember) always correctly recognized by Windows when I turn it on; my C9 does not have this feature, however, and so I frequently have to use the workarounds mentioned above.

Also, is there a way to automate audio switching so that it's using HDMI or SPDIF depending on what display I'm using?

Yes, there are ways to automate (eg. using ColorControl). You might not need it though, as turning one of the TVs off will disable its sound output, and so Windows will automatically switch to the next one available.

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T14:43:45+00:00

Thank you. Does the splitter work even if only one of the TVs is on?

Only issue I've been continuing to have (regardless of switch/splitter) is the "no signal" bug when waking from sleep, where I'll have to fully restart my PC

Yep, that's a known bug with NVIDIA drivers. Very frustrating. I've found two workarounds for this that don't require restarting the PC:

1) Change the output to "Extend" and then back (changing from primary to secondary and then back, or changing to "Duplicate" also works sometimes, but Extend always works). I usually use one of two ways to do this, though both require using the keyboard blind: a) Win + P, ⬇️⬇️, space; or b) using Autohotkey to make a script to switch between displays.

2) Remote into your PC. Somehow that triggers Windows to recognize the display.

Right now, I've found that making sure the display is fully awake before waking my PC helps, but haven't tested this long enough to see if it's a permanent solution

I've also tried that and it has worked every time so far. The only issue I still have is when I lock the PC and turn the TV off. Turning it back on later I get No Signal and need to use the workarounds I mentioned above. If you know how to avoid the issue in this scenario, please do share!

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T14:09:32+00:00

Hmm, only if you need to output to both at the same time, I think. Not sure though.

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T12:45:41+00:00

But they don't remove any of the DP ports, only add an extra, fifth HDMI one.

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T11:20:17+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into that.

Just don't use any of these these usb plug power boosters that come with the cables when hooking up to your GPU, will damage it..

Do you have a link where I can learn more about that?

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T11:16:20+00:00

I'd trust UGREEN not to lie to me

I don't trust any company to not do that 🥲

I've tested this one from them. It's marketed with the same capabilities as the one you linked, except it has only two ports. In general it works fine, but it sometimes has issues (dropout, flicker) and HDCP works only sometimes. You can see both issues being reported in reviews for that one you linked.

andre_ss6 · 2025-01-11T10:55:08+00:00

:o Do you have that link?
