Looking to upgrade for rendering work.

Hi,
Enabling EXPO is not 100% guaranteed at any given time and its considered a form of overclocking, thats why the CPU support page only shows 2x2R at 5200.

In practise, most people will get 6000 and sometimes over that. Be sure to read the board QVL carefully for best memory modules.

That kind of speeds mostly benefit gaming, in fact, if all you do is render and little to no gaming, the 7950X will be faster. (and more power hungry too).

Good Luck

Thanks for the suggestions!

BigGameD33R, if your MB offers XMP, it is older and seems to be more stable. John.
