Hey so I upgraded my ram from 2 x 16GB to 2 x 32GB. I booted my pc and it took like and extra minute or two for the Asus logo to appear. With the old ram it was quick but now my mobo has an orange/amber RAM LED.

As of posting this I am testing my RAM with memtest86 and I have expo 1 enabled. If there is anything wrong with my ram or if there is known issues with this type of ram and the 7800X3D CPU please let me know if its fixable.

The parts list is private. Might want to just pass on the BB code for the parts list instead.

Since we're here, what are the make and models of both ram kits? BIOS version for your motherboard?
Oh. Here's the new link, but if that doesn't work, I have G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 and my old kit was G.Skill x5 series 2x16 GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL32. I'm on BIOS version 2.22.1284 on an ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming WiFi.

Since it's DDR5 memory and you may have invoked XMP/EXPO/DOCP overclocking, it's probably perfectly normal "memory training".

If you switch off Asus DOCP, the PC might boot up faster at JEDEC default speed (probably 4800MT/s or thereabouts).
So I read the article and from that I got that it'll memory train but on the next reboot it'll be faster. But how about from a full shutdown. Would this memory training be stored or will this keep happening every time I power on from shutdown.
