So if the motherboard can modify the spd and some vendors don't lock the info can be exploited. Some malicious attack on boot?

Yikes... I hope this is not as annoying as it sounds for the majority of users... Super cringe.

I wonder if this is related to my issue... sometimes my 6000 ddr5 reboots and reverts to 4800 under XMP and "current value."

I also have issues with disappearing fans after waking from sleep, and GCC showing cpu temp of -55° lol...

Does this only effect the Intel boards? I have an Aorus X570 with fast Gskill DDR5 RAM that was recommended for the board and AMD 5950X chip and have had lots of issues with the memory timings. They won't hold. I can set in Bios and then let it cycle and it seems to hold until I shut down and power back on the next day and the system won't post. I figured it was bad RAM so I bought a brand new set of the same chips and those seemed to work fine at default settings not speed settings. I then put the old chips in the second pair of slots and they came up fine. I have not set any spd settings because of fear they will freak out again so I"m not getting the performance I should be getting.

It seems odd the problem only exist on Gigabyte mobos if it's a SPD data lock issue. What is Gigabyte doing different tha the other mobo makers?

Yep my memory is changed its data it is supposed to be a 2x16Gb kit of Teamgroup 7200. It now shows up in bios as one 16gb module and one 32Gb module then in windows system reports as only 16gb. Bloody nightmare this is on a Z790 Aorus Master

??? x570 / 5950X is a DDR4 setup, not DDR5.

Maybe other mb makers just don't cover the essential SPD data.

Gigabyte is lying. I have a video with evidence. Before the recent SPD protection option was created, I have strong evidence that updating the BIOS always damaged the memory module.
