DC HW question - 5900X with 64GB DDR4-3200 or 7600 with 32GB DDR5-6000 (EXPO)? Addl. 7000-series CPU?

[VirtualLarry]

Any idea which is more powerful? I'm trying to decide. Maybe I can run one of each side-by-side during the Pentathalon. I actually have three 5900X, although only one is semi-workable for DC at the moment.

I have another 2x 32GB DDR5-6000 (XMP, Mushkin Redlinde, were SS for $99), and a B650 Gigabyte mATX mobo. Would just need another 7000-series CPU. Got the case+PSU too. (Bought two 650W EVGA Platinum.)

7000 series is strong, but I'm not sure 6 cores will overtake 8 5000 series cores, but if a upgraded 7000 CPU in the future then for sure 7000 series, but 32GB RAM is pushing it on some projects. Such as the current yoyo@home pent project, those tasks use 1GB to 10GB per thread.

I've ordered and received an MSI B650M-A mobo, with four DIMM slots, I have two kits of 2x16GB Muskin Redline (XMP, though, sadly, not EXPO, I don't think) DDR5-6000, and a Ryzen 5 7600X. Seem to have misplaced the NVMe drive that I had intended to put into it, may be house-cleaners fault (*).

(*) My early estimation. Chances are, though, I misplaced it. But last time I saw it, it was underneath my mobo, and fell off onto the floor when I was working on it, and that's the last that I saw it.

So my current 7600 rig only has two DDR5 DIMM slots (ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2).

I'm hitting my physical RAM limits (well, Commit Charge is 32GB, but it says that I'm only occupying 17GB of physical RAM, with 11GB free.)

Any recommendations for AM5-compliant RAM kits of 64GB or "high-density" (24/48GB GB DIMMs?)

No need for RGB, but that would add a nice touch (case rear fan and front stripe are RGB.)

You can change the % of memory usage in the BOINC mgr to allow for more tasks to run.

I just starting using a set of this a few days ago. They are running a little lighter timings than stock 6000 expo just fine.

ShellShocker today, Team Vulcan DDR5-6000 32GB kit (grey) for $79.99 after $5 promo code (on page).

I linked this at the end of the "Cheap DDR5 thread" in Hot Deals.

It's XMP 3.0, though, for Intel, not for AMD. (May work?)
