  • So I was kinda in the same boat. Used to build a lot, had kids, built less. Finally decided I wanted an AM5. Everything seems good, but all my problems I have and currently have seem to stem from DDR5 ram. Expo seems to have issues sometimes, bios resets ram and takes a while to turn on. Not sure if bad sticks or bad MB, but works 99% of the time, so not overly concerned. Basically saying if you have issues, check ram and ram speeds first.

    Edit: and bios. That has updates available often it seems.






  • Yea finding length of card and clearance of case is probably the main hurdle. Based on selection, think you should be ok, but always best to verify numbers. Didn’t look at what card came with, but some additional support might be nice. Some cards come with a support bracket. Otherwise they sell adjustable bars that support the card, or you can just improvise something.



  • My first couple things would be to verify the usb cable does data. Some cables are power only, and that obviously won’t work. If you have any other devices you can test with, that’d be great. Like verify an older android phone is seen by the computer with the cable. Other thing would be to change the serial USB settings. Try different data rates like 115200 and 57600. Should be 115200, but who knows if/when Creality changes something.
