In this segment of the video, the content creator discusses the differences between the AM4 and AM5 platforms for PCs. They highlight their positive experience with AM4, utilizing components such as the Asus ROG Strix X570E motherboard and AMD Ryzen processors. Despite the reliability of AM4, they decided to switch to AM5 due to community members transitioning, hands-on experience, and the improved performance of the 7800X3D chip. The content creator also mentions potential longevity and stability benefits with AMD platforms. They note gaming performance improvements with AM5 and the 7800X3D.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses their challenges with stability and reliability on the AM5 platform while setting up their 7800X3D system. They faced issues with the ASUS motherboard and DDR5 RAM, initially struggling to get the system to post, but ultimately resolved it by clearing the CMOS and adjusting the RAM slot configuration. The creator later encountered a BIOS issue regarding Expo profiles not being available, only Docp profiles. Despite enabling Docp and initially having success, the system eventually failed to post again, leading to further troubleshooting.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker recounts their experience with RAM compatibility on the AM5 platform. Initially, using an Intel-optimized RAM kit caused post issues. After switching to AMD-optimized RAM, the system functioned well at 5600 MHz. However, after a BIOS update, one RAM stick failed to work, leading to speculation about the update causing the issue. The speaker plans to return the RAM for troubleshooting. It highlights the importance of ensuring the RAM is optimized for the specific platform and recommends checking package labels for compatibility.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the YouTuber discusses replacing their problematic motherboard and RAM with an MSI b650 Edge Wi-Fi motherboard and Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 RAM running at 6000 MHz. They share that their system is now stable, except for an intermittent issue where the PC fails to post after shutdown, which is resolved by power-cycling the system. The YouTuber mentions potential AM5 bugs causing this issue and hopes for BIOS updates to fix it. They caution against using the ASUS b650e gaming motherboard with Team Group DDR5 RAM, citing personal experience and another community member’s similar difficulties.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker addresses two main issues related to AMD AM5 systems. Firstly, they discuss the long boot times out of the box, which can be improved by enabling fastboot, adjusting postcode delay settings, and ensuring memory context restore is enabled to enhance boot speed. Secondly, they explain how Ryzen CPUs may not boost to their maximum clock speed initially and suggest enabling features like Expo, PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive), and Curve Optimizer in the BIOS settings to optimize performance and achieve rated boost speeds.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses optimizing settings for performance on a processor. They mention setting the Curve Optimizer to negative with a magnitude of 30 for improved performance. Additionally, they address potential issues with the 7800X processor overheating due to voltage settings, emphasizing the importance of BIOS updates to mitigate these risks. The comparison between gaming performance on AM4 and AM5 platforms shows a noticeable uplift in performance on AM5, especially at 1440p resolution. The speaker recommends staying updated with the latest BIOS updates and discusses the benefits of upgrading to the AM5 platform for improved performance.
00:18:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker compares performance differences between AM4 and AM5 platforms while playing different games like Hogwarts Legacy, Spider-Man Remastered, The Last of Us, and Halo Infinite. The speaker notes that the performance gains on AM5 are not significant in most cases, except for Spider-Man Remastered at 1440p where there is a noticeable uplift. While there are minor improvements in some games like Spider-Man Remastered and The Last of Us at 1440p with AM5, the overall performance boost may not justify the cost for an upgrade. Notably, the AM5 platform shows better performance for some games like Spider-Man Remastered at 1440p compared to AM4, but not as much at 4K.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their experience upgrading to the AM5 platform, highlighting performance benefits in gaming at 4K and especially at 1440p. However, they mention the platform is plagued with issues, making the upgrade not worth it due to costs and headaches. The speaker advises viewers to wait before upgrading to AM5 and asks for feedback on others’ experiences with the platform. They urge viewers to share the video to prevent others from encountering the pitfalls of AM5.
