The funny thing is for some reason (justified at times) people love to defecate on Gigabyte.... but other than their mostly useless bloatware (to the point of randomly BSOD-ing) I have never had a single problem with any of their products. Asus on the other hand has OK bloatware (that there now are often open source alternatives for) but increasingly disastrous HW.

I've never had any issues with any ASUS product. I've only had ASUS mobos and currently have the TUF GAMING H670-PRO WIFI D4 and been very happy with it.

Well to be fair most of the problems started the last few years especially with the latest gens of CPU. First with AMD and then with Intel..... and not the fault of the CPU's per se.

Anyone with a 7800X3D or 7950X3D, I want to know which motherboard and memory you used and if you experienced any stability issues?

I have currently shortlisted Gigabyte and Asus boards. I have been told to rather go with Asrock, but supply seems limited. I want to make sure that there are happy users and if any firmware/BIOS updates have fixed any issues they experienced. A load of these boards are already revisioned.

I'm running a 7800X3D on a Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX (NOT the B650M Gaming X AX, that's trash). It's been rock solid since day 1. Have BIOS up to date and haven't had a single hiccup or issue.

Rest of the build is G Skill DDR5-6000 CL32 (I think it's 32, might be wrong), Deep Cool AK620 cooler, RTX4070Ti and SuperFlower 650W PSU.

Awesome, thank you, Bunny. Every person I have spoken to has had issues with the MSI boards. I am hesitant to buy something that I would regret.

All I need to still buy is a motherboard and memory, everything else I have.

This is a case of beggars not being choosers. AM5 is at this time an expensive platform. My budget is tight.

AM5 is unfortunately a generally very weirdly unstable platform.... you won't REALLY know how stable it is for you specifically without taking some kind of gamble. And a major annoyance is it's motherboards are VERY much more expensive than intel one's for some reason.... just make sure they update the firmware before shipping it to you.

One thing I have come to notice though is don't bother with OC RAM unless you can spend the money, standard DDR5 speed should be fine.

My previous board was an MSI...I would recommend Gigabyte.

If you go Asus, DO NOT get an Asus Prime. They're pretty bad - Hardware Unboxed did a whole thing on motherboards and they were categorically the worst.

What an absolute load of tripe. Are you using AM5? Or just talking out your ass as usual?

There have been a few issues, but it is not an unstable platform by any means.

If there are issues preventing some people from booting unless they do odd tweaks like shuffling ram around in a kind of strange puzzle.... it's not stable.
 
Not asking for anyone involved in distribution, but for the resellers. Why no Thermalright product of late? Some stock ID-Cooling and Scythe, but damn, Thermalright air coolers are cool right now. Some of their parts were sold here.
 
This thread has long since surpassed its 10k post limit.
