DIY PC Rig Recommendations For 2025

[jinsatkilife]

maybe keeping stock, Nvidia rumoured to cut production of 5060TI 16GB and 5070 ti for H1 2026 by 30% to 40%

isnt this to prep for the super series?

no la, both 5060TI and 5070 TI use 16GB GDDR7 VRAM, if i want to maximise profit. i keep the VRAM for the most profit card

Wasted should have bought last week from invader, the price of Ryzen 7 7000 wif 9070xt now can get 5070ti wif Ryzen 7 7000 then .... Slightly cheaper too

Now all system price up ....

Have to look to buy else where aredy , any recommendations expert here??

actually its no brainer already, should bought earlier. all indicator shows price will go up. the longer you wait, the pricier it going to be.

If you intend to upgrade within the next 3 years, just hoot 32GB of DDR5 now and get the rest later. DDR5 prices will not come down anytime soon.

I have not opened it yet, but from the weight, it should be legit ram

they adding weights plate le is how they get past amazon de complete checks

wait tonight i open.
btw, i read amd platform difficult to run ram higher than 6000. since this kit is 6400 cl 32, can i just load XMP then lower the speed to 6000 cl32? or maybe 6000 cl30?

Not sure for the xmp/bios. (Not complete knowledge to help)

You will know when you test. 96GB is more demanding on the IMC so even the rated 6400 cl32 is not guaranteed.

I just plug in the ram without resetting the bios, after memory training (i think) it boot up follow the setting of my Crucial Pro 6000 CL 36 2x16GB (using Expo). After Restart, go to BIOS, i just enable XMP, and it boot up at 6400 CL 32.

Using HWInfo i checked on Infinity Fabric Clock (FCLK) shows 1996.4 Mhz while Memory Controller Clock (UCLK) shows 3194.2 Mhz.

Is this means the ram works fine? anything i should take note of?
What is the program you use to test the ram stability? can advise?

Edit: The Ram is SK Hynix M-Die, if anyone interested to know.
Edit2: set the FCLK to 2133 and run y-cruncher VT3 test only for over 30 minutes passed. How long to test ?

I use Memtest86 followed by TimeSpy stress test. The latter is a GPU test but I use it to make sure that the system is stable. I don't need y-cruncher etc for my use case.

Seems like you got a good kit from the tests so far.

Hi all,

May I know if this build from the main page hardware still ok for a build now, my current pc already having some issue on and off. Will like to build one pc to at least last hopefully passed this AI boom boom price rocket.

Yeah, so far looks good with the 1:1 and fclk of 2133. Everything runs as expected, finger crossed.
Just now did a single TimeSpy benchmark, it runs fine. I think i just use it first. only when have stability issue then check again. My target actually to get the ram run at 6000 cl 36 already good enough. anything above is bonus.

its a very decent build. Change 5600 to 5600G. Can last for at least 3 to 5 years. More if hardware does not fail you. If you like a bit of bling, go to shopee or carousell , get the AMD wraith prism cooler.

With B550 mobo, you can upgrade to better chip next time when needed.

the super series are pushed back no?
might not be even be coming out at all.. from the looks of it
