In the same boat. I have a 6600 cl32 32 gig kit sitting here that is way too old to return. replaced with a 6000 cl30 expo kit, and it works like a charm, worth every penny of $260. I paid $400 for the other kit, and it just sits.Nope, I had to order from a limited selection at the time and I can't return by now I think. Though the RAM seems excellent so far as long as the BIOS support continues or is fixed. This is the kit:
Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 CL32-38-38-96 1.40V 64GB (2x32GB) F5-6000J3238G32GX2-TZ5RS
But the GPU works in Windows?This box is windows/linux dual boot. The problem is BEFORE is starts to load the OS, its not using the discrete card at that time.
the discrete GPU now works in both. The linux saide was a black screen. Its a 515 driver issue thats fixed in 520. I had to boot linux using IGP to downgrade to 510, as mo 520 available in my distro.But the GPU works in Windows?

Yeah I've had no luck with sleep & memory OC yet. What a weird set of firmware/platform limitations.So despite sleep mode being enabled at 5400 MHz, the PC fails to wake up I'm giving up on it for now and going the other direction, don't feel like running DDR5-4800. So far so good running the free Microcenter RAM at 6000, with a small voltage bump to 1.25 like the real binned Samsung 6000 MHz kits call for.
Seems like typical new platform first adopters issues. AM4 had just as many problems, I know firsthand as I jumped on AM4 as soon as it launched. I was tempted to jump on AM5 as well, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle with the inevitable first gen bugs, and it looks like I was right. There are always going to be first adopters issues, they will get worked out with time, these are the rules of the game, and they're not unique to AMD. If you don't want to deal with issues, just don't buy at launch.Feels like a rushed launch. They really wanted to get some marketshare before Raptor Lake but it didn't work out that well for them. Should have come out of the gate with the X3D version.

It doesn't work in ECC mode in Windows. This is an ASRock X670E Steel Legend which Level1Techs said supported ECC based on ASRock's earlier, and apparently erroneous, spec sheet.I finally found some DDR5 ECC UDIMMs in stock. So I order 2x32GB. I wonder if it will work in ECC mode in Windows. I somehow doubt it will work as ASRock removed ECC support from the product page in between the time I ordered the motherboard and now. But I continue the experiment regardless.
I'll post an update for anyone else curious when it arrives.

It's pretty close. My first AM4 board wouldn't run memory at the rated speed at all. It was 2667MHz or less only. With AM5 memory works in theory. But I don't want to run at XMP because it disables sleep states. So technically better but practically the same.Smoother new AMD socket launch, AM4 or AM5?
Am5 boards don't have an igpu the cpu does. Like intel. Wifi is intel on all the boards I've looked at, and bluetooth is intel too. Wifi and bluetooth issues would be an intel problem. One of Intel's nics is gutter trash and on every motherboard system sold unless they use equally gutter trash that works more often like realtek or marvell.It's pretty close.

And AM5 boards have more things that can go wrong. The integrated graphics, wifi and bluetooth were all not available or common at AM4 launch. And I've had (minor) issues with bluetooth and the integrated graphics when I tested.
So? The Zen 1 IMC on the CPU was responsible for a lot of AM4's early problems. Still was seen as a platform issue.Am5 boards don't have an igpu the cpu does. Like intel.

Imc is for memory. This was addressed over time with bios update. the rz616 is a mediatek and amd joint project. It's a very new product. There will be issues. Intel's wifi adapters weren't pristine when they came out either. Install an Intel adapter.So? The Zen 1 IMC on the CPU was responsible for a lot of AM4's early problems.

And the board I'm using has an AMD branded RZ616 wireless/bluetooth adapter. So I won't be blaming Intel for that. I had to disable it in UEFI to avoid wake from sleep failures.
Obviously the memory controller is for memory. The question was which platform launch was smoother. And alleviating the problem BIOS updates over years still means the AM4 launch was rough.Imc is for memory.

I don't understand yours either. It's going to be a long time until AMD has a smooth launch. They're getting better, but it'll take time.Obviously the memory controller is for memory.

And adding another adapter to work around launch problems is exactly what I'm talking about. That's part of rough launch too.
I don't understand what the intent of your post was.
Someone asked which launch was smoother AM4 or AM5. And I responded that neither should be described as smooth.I don't understand yours either. It's going to be a long time until AMD has a smooth launch. They're getting better, but it'll take time.
If you're not happy pawn it off and buy intel.Someone asked which launch was smoother AM4 or AM5. And I responded that neither should be described as smooth.
But yeah you can pray and hope they fix the problems. They probably will. But it's no guarantee. And I wonder how many years pass before I can enable XMP and sleep states. What a luxury...
No. Simply put I expect them to fix it ("They probably will"). And AM4 was rough too. But if AM5 follows the AM4 trajectory then I'm fine with it. A B350 board I bought 5.5 years ago can work with nearly top end gaming CPUs (5800X3D).If you're not happy pawn it off and buy intel.
If you have an issue you should contact AMD directly. Posting on some message board that has no relation to AMD won't help you out much. If you have an issue with the usage of the word smooth take it up senor ruiz many posts up.No. Simply put I expect them to fix it ("They probably will"). And AM4 was rough too.

That doesn't magically make this a smooth launch. It's just how AMD launches go and we all knew. No point trying to hide it when does indeed have problems.

ASRock X670E Steel Legend.What board do you have?
Did you install the AM5 chipset drivers?
What WiFi drivers did you install?
I am personally very pleased with the MT7922 WiFi, but then, I am partial to MediaTek.
