Predator Orion 5000 PO5-640-EB11 RAM upgrade compatibility help, need to find the correct RAM

we just got a BIOS update that unlocked the XMP, so now whatever memory we have will work at the advertised speed, i had replaced my stock 2x8 Samsung with 4x16 Crucial and now I'm getting 4800, before this update, i was only getting 4000, and another member i know is getting 5600 with his 2x16, so make sure wherever you get it from, it can be returned in case it doesn't work with the XMP update, another member bought 5200 and his wont post with XMP on, so something to think about when buying memory, because there is no way to guarantee it will work, until it's in our pc and you turn XMP on, and try to boot to desktop, without XMP on you will only get 4400x2 and 4000x4.

well, ty everything i have learned, i learned from the experts here and members over time, the XMP profile is in the BIOS in advanced settings then advanced and it's at the top of that section, all you do is enable it and restart, ide go with the crucial and it's so cheap now at 40 per stick, you may as well get 4x16 and max the memory out, the CL i believe only matters when you have a MB that allows Overlocking and adjusting the timings, ours doesn't, and no our Mb only supports 16 gig chips per slot, the Noctua cooler upgrade it easy, ya take the old one out and put the new one in, i have a post here were i detail it and any problems i ran into, ya need screws tho to mount the Noctua, unless you take out the MB and use the mounting hardware that come with the Noctua cooler, but you don't have to, all you need is 4-3x10mm screws from any hardware store, and read the instructions lol, then when you do install that cooler, use you stock cooler fan right above the cooler as exhaust, like i did at first until you get another, the screws to mount the fans on the top rack are 1-1/4 in length and the diameter i used a 8-32 with nuts, pretty simple stuff, if ya need more help just ask !!@!!

np yw anytime !!@!!

there is no way of telling if that pro ddr5@5600 will work until it's in your pc, but it should, i saw that and wanted to buy it, BUT since i paid almost 300 for my 4x16, now i see its down to 40 per stick ugh lol, I'm not spending anymore on memory atm.

trust me 4800@64 gigs is amazing, the more memory the better, no 32 gigs will outdo my 4x16 no matter what the MHz is, just put your 2x16 ya buy in the same slots the factory memory came in, slots 1 and 3, and you could run 2x16 and 2x8 for 48 gigs, i did that for over 6 months and that was a lot faster than just 32 alone, and yes u can squeeze a ram stick in under the cooler we have all done it, just be patient and take your time is all, i had to slightly bend mine to get it to drop in.

well, it all depends on what games you run, i was getting 63C with the stock cooler on max settings@1080P with Days Gone-RDR2-Terminator Resistance-Shadow of The Tomb Raider etc. with my fans in gaming mode, now with that Noctua NH-U12A i get 38-48 depending on if my central air is on or my central heat.

ambient room temperatures matter ALOT, more than i initially knew about, that's why in the summer like now with AC on, i leave the front and side panels off, and I'm getting 38 on the CPU and 48 on the GPU, if you can afford it buy 2x120mm high velocity fans -i got cooler master mobius high velocity- and put them as exhaust on the top rack that should help, you could even get a 3000 rpm fan for the cooler and see if that helps, until your ready to swap out for a new cooler.

and yw ask away we are here to help !!@!!

np yw and ty, just remember everything i have learned here and i mean EVERYTHING is from the members here who know more than i do and helped me over the last year and a half i have been coming here. -neogeo-billsey-stevengen-gotbanned- just to name a few. there are many others.

now i do not play COD at all, do you have any other games to test it in?

and is it the crucial pro or crucial standard DDR5?

and is that memory in the same 2 slots the original memory came in?

and I'm glad you got that Noctua cooler i have had mine in over a year now and it is amazing.

ok then i have no idea since i don't have COD or the same memory as you. I'm running crucial 4x16@4800 and it works great, i have no issues at all. so, test it out on other games. but sometimes it's as simple as removing it and putting it back in.
