Step-by-Step AMD Gaming PC Build Guide
Pre-Build Checklist:
- Anti-static wrist strap
- Thermal paste (if not pre-applied)
- Cable ties for management
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Isopropyl alcohol and cloth
- M.2 thermal pads
- 3-4 hours build time

AMD-Specific Build Tips
1. AM5 Socket Installation
- AM5 uses LGA design (pins in socket, not CPU)
- Align golden triangle on CPU with socket marker
- Lower retention arm – requires 30-40 lbs force (normal!)
- Install cooler backplate before mounting motherboard
2. Memory Installation for Ryzen
- Install in slots A2/B2 first (usually 2nd and 4th)
- Enable EXPO in BIOS for rated speeds
- If instability occurs, try 5600MHz first
- Ryzen benefits from tighter timings over raw speed
3. GPU Installation Best Practices
- RX 7900 series cards need support brackets (included)
- Connect all power connectors (typically 2-3 8-pin)
- Ensure 330mm+ case clearance for most models
- Set PCIe to Gen 4.0 in BIOS (not Auto)
AMD-Specific Optimization Guide
BIOS Optimization for Maximum Performance
Essential BIOS Settings:
- Enable EXPO – Activates rated RAM speeds (10-15% performance gain)
- Enable Smart Access Memory (SAM) – 5-10% free performance
- Set Power Limits to PBO – Precision Boost Overdrive for CPUs
- Enable Resizable BAR – Required for SAM
- Disable CSM – Ensures UEFI boot for SAM
- Set PCIe to Gen 4.0 – Avoid Auto setting
GPU Undervolting Guide
AMD GPUs respond exceptionally well to undervolting, reducing power consumption and temperatures while maintaining performance:
| GPU Model | Stock Power | Undervolt | Power Saved | Temp Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RX 7800 XT | 263W | -100mV | 50W (19%) | 12°C |
| RX 7900 XT | 300W | -75mV | 60W (20%) | 10°C |
| RX 7900 XTX | 355W | -50mV | 40W (11%) | 8°C |
Undervolting Steps:
- Open AMD Adrenalin Software
- Navigate to Performance → Tuning
- Enable “GPU Tuning”
- Select “Undervolt GPU”
- Start with -50mV and test stability
- Increase in -25mV increments
- Run Unigine Heaven for 30 minutes to verify
Ray Tracing Performance Analysis: AMD in 2025
RDNA 3 Ray Tracing Improvements
AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture brought significant RT improvements:
- 50% more RT cores vs RDNA 2
- 2.5x ray-box intersection performance
- Hardware-accelerated BVH traversal
- Improved RT cache efficiency
| Game (4K RT High) | RX 7900 XTX | RTX 4080 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 42 FPS | 55 FPS | -24% |
| Control Ultimate | 56 FPS | 68 FPS | -18% |
| Metro Exodus | 45 FPS | 58 FPS | -22% |
| Spider-Man | 60 FPS | 72 FPS | -17% |
Ray Tracing Reality Check:
While NVIDIA maintains an RT performance lead, AMD’s RDNA 3 delivers playable ray tracing at 4K. The gap has narrowed from 40-50% to 15-25%, and FSR 3 helps bridge the remaining difference. For most gamers, AMD’s RT performance is now “good enough” while offering superior rasterization value.
