Hi all, was wondering if anyone was having issues upgrading from a 7800x3d to 9800x3d. Updated to latest 2506 bios prior to install and swapped out the CPUs, and installed the latest AMD chipset. The 9800x3d seems to be working at stock, but once I enable expo 1 OC settings, it goes completely unstable, games crashing at launch, blue screens galore. Think it has to do with RAM, but I had a completely stable system with the 7800x3d. My ram is the G.skill trident F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR, and it's definitely been on the support memory list for quite some time.
Anyone with similar issues?

I think that whenever you upgrade/ change your processor out for any X3D CPU, it's helpful to do so with a fresh install of Windows. I know some reviewers have alluded to this problem before, specifically Jay because he had a lot of problems with his 7950x3d. I can't clearly explain why this helps, but it has something to do with clearing out the "gremlins" of the previous CPU AMD it's effect on the operating system and vice versa. Could be worth a shot depending on how bad it is.
