I recently upgraded my PC from an Intel Core i7-14700K due to issues like blue screens and random crashes. I made the jump to an AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D, using an ASRock X870E Taichi Lite motherboard and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 RAM (4x16GB for a total of 64GB, Hynix A-die). I've managed to get it stable at 6000MHz CL32, which I know is usually more difficult with four sticks of RAM. I got some guidance from ChatGPT and watched a few YouTube videos along the way. ChatGPT even mentioned that it's uncommon for people to achieve this stability. Now I'm wondering if I truly scored big with this setup or if I'm just setting myself up for disaster. I would love any feedback or suggestions on this!

Just a heads up, don't put too much faith in ChatGPT for hardware advice. It’s great for chatting but not really reliable for technical facts. Hitting 6000 MT/s CL32 is good but pretty common with decent hardware nowadays.
Double-check that your BIOS is up to date. There have been issues with ASRock motherboards causing problems with the X3D chips if the BIOS isn’t current. Better safe than sorry!
I'm on version 3.30, just updated my post to reflect that. Thanks for the tip!
Using ChatGPT isn't ideal, man. It's been said it can have negative effects on your thought process. Just be cautious about relying too heavily on it.
Have you run any stability tests on your setup? That's really important to ensure that everything's running smoothly. If not, you might want to try AIDA64 to stress test your system and check for any potential issues.
I've just used AIDA64 so far. Are there any other tests you'd recommend?
Gotcha, thanks for the reality check!
