Out of curiosity what fabric and memory clock are you able to run at? I’m either extremely unlucky or running into an early firmware bug as I can’t get anything above 2100 MHz fabric to boot reliably.
That said, I did activate EXPO on my 6000 MHz RAM sticks - which at first caused the system to hard freeze and nothing short of a CMOS clear could bring it back. But in the end, re-seating the RAM sticks seems to have sorted that one out and its running at the full rated speed now.
Hard reboot, CPU code error… uh oh. Clear CMOS, boots again at 3000mhz. Decide to install Windows first, and then after I turned EXPO back on and have had zero issues at full rated speed. Even ram memtest to be sure.
Im running a MSI MPG x670e Carbon Wifi for what it’s worth.
I'm also using a MSI board FWIW: MAG B650M Mortar (WIFI)

IIRC they also said not to disable EXPO.
The 7700X at 65W TDP delivers 16% more than the 5800X at 105W TDP and 38% more than the 5700X at 65W TDP.
88W PPT = 65W TDP
And they can be undervolted as well.

edit: added 5700X
Now boot times on the other hand… If I didn’t have a motherboard with a debug digit readout, I definitely would have thought something was busted.
