It finally feels like recent microcode updates have improved RAM stability at and over 6000MHz. I was an early adopter of the 9950X3D with an X870E, and it’s been a slow and painful wait while stability issues were worked out over this last year. (Since I migrated to AMD with a 7950X3D, memory training has always been hit-or-miss. Usually a miss unless starting from cold boot.)
Realistically, there isn’t a huge benefit for RAM speeds over 6000 for now, but I can say with confidence that AMD @ 6000 being the sweet spot may be finally in the past. Hopefully. Maybe. (I am running a Crucial 6400 64GB kit now with some tight timings and a mild overclock and it’s rock solid, but it was a long wait to get there.)
For some, it’s exactly that.
