    Question CPU vs Chipset for OS drive

    Hi! I'd take them off.

    Question CPU vs Chipset for OS drive

    Hello! I'd, definitely, insert the OS drive in the M.2 slot that's connected directly to the CPU!

    Discussion XMP & EXPO RAM - Misleading Marketing

    Yes. You are right! That's exactly what's needed! But, how come that you, or we, as regular folks, came to this conclusion, and found a solution, while multi-billion dollar companies still need a "revelation" about it?

    Discussion XMP & EXPO RAM - Misleading Marketing

    Yeah. I think that there should exist a regulatory body that would keep these companies accountable! If a RAM kit is on the QVL of a motherboard, then it should work flawlessly! I, personally, only lost 0.34ns in terms of speed by lowering the DRAM from 6000 to 5800. But, that's not the...

    Discussion XMP & EXPO RAM - Misleading Marketing

    Hi! Yes, the memory kit is on the QVL of my motherboard. And yes, I am on the 3.16 BIOS version, which makes no difference. Previously, I've been on all of these BIOS versions: 3.06; 3.08; 3.10; 3.12 Beta; 3.15; 3.16. The CPU is high-end. The motherboard is high-end. The CPU cooling is...

    Discussion XMP & EXPO RAM - Misleading Marketing

    Hello! 2 years ago I was writing on this forum, that I'd like to buy the fastest 2x32GB DDR5 RAM kit that runs at JEDEC 1.1V specs, for reliability reasons. Many people said that I should choose an XMP or EXPO kit because those are reliable enough. So, I've built a high-end PC with the...

    Question Ram voltage question

    That's weird. Try 1.2V first, then if it's unstable, try 1.3V. I wouldn't go as high as 1.4V.

    Question Ram voltage question

    Hello! You will have to do some experiments, but as far as I know, for DDR5-5600 the voltage should be between 1.25V ~ 1.35V. I'd start with 1.25V. If that's not stable, try increasing the voltage by 0.01V, until it's perfectly stable. In order to establish if your system is stable, you'll...

    Question Ram voltage question

    Hello again! Your RAM kit has a few profiles in which you have all the specs: DRAM frequency, timings, and voltage. You, simply, have to load the "XMP Profile 1", or "XMP Profile 2"! No need for you to set voltages manually. Every BIOS menu is a bit different, but try finding those settings...

    Question Ram voltage question

    Hello! I am pretty sure that your RAM isn't running at 1V. It should run at least at 1.1V. Also, XMP must be loaded from the BIOS menu.

    Question Does it really matter...

    No problem. We all understood the meaning of your post.

    Question Does it really matter...

    Hello! Actually, DDR5-5600 is great for stability! For instance, I've bought a QVL EXPO RAM kit from Kingston Fury, which has a DDR5-6400 profile, and a DDR5-6000 profile; Though I can load any of the 2 profiles and boot into Windows, when I am testing the stability of the system, I get errors...

    Question Should I buy a mobo that is rev 1.0?

    Correct. And sometimes it isn't about improvements at all. Sometimes, they just change the suppliers for certain parts and they label those motherboards as rev. 1.1 or 2.0, without being an upgrade in any way.

    Question Should I buy a mobo that is rev 1.0?

    Being rev. 1.0 isn't necessarily a bad thing. I used to have a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (rev. 1.0) that worked like a charm. I've never had issues with it in 5 years of owning it.

    How To RAID-0 on AMD's AM5 Platform

    Hello! The benefits are, obviously, in speed differences, especially in sequential reads & writes. Also, you can achieve a setup with fewer, but larger partitions. Also, the DRAM cache on those SSDs work as a combined pool (in my case: 3x 1GB LPDDR3). In my case (I previously had those 3...
