As someone with recent platforms from both Intel and AMD, man, I do not like my 7700x’s platform.
It’s just sporadically unreliable: sometimes it posts, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes the memory decides it needs to reset back to jedc standards instead of the expo settings, sometimes it doesn’t. Even a successful POST can take upwards of a minute sometimes, and the system may or may not reset in the middle of it, resulting in two extended delays.
Perfectly stable once the OS gets booted (memtest is fine, prime95 is fine and it boosts like crazy up to about 5.5ghz all-core), but getting there is such a pain on occasion.
I realize more than a little of this is probably attributable to the motherboard manufacturer/efi settings, but the last few AMD platforms I’ve had are just wonky and less than 100% reliable compared to the last several Intel ones, which have typically just worked, correctly, every time.
