Make sure the ram fits the cpu.
The forum is littered with people who buy E.G 6200 ram because the MB can take it and the cpu can only handle 5200 ram.
Then come here and ask why am I having trouble.

I got an R9 7900x. i was planning on going with 64GB 6000 CL30. But I'm glad you mentioned it because I didn't actually bother checking what the CPU can handle. I only checked the mobo QVL.
After doing a little research it looks like the R9 7900x can handle 6000MT/s RAM. I guess 5200 is just the baseline speed without expo enabled, much like how the baseline for AM4 was always 2133 until you enabled XMP or DOCP. Supposedly 6000 is the sweet spot for AM5 or atleast 7000 series AM5 CPUs.
