Question New Hardware Unstable RAM

[Denis2904]

I decided after 6 years to switch to DDR5 and wanted to get 64gb again. so I got 2 dual kits with 8000MHz, a ryzen 9 9950x3d and a Gigabyte AORUS Elite WIFI7 AMD X870E. But I guess the RAM is to fast and im running into blue screens when I start up squad. Should I send both kits back and get a kit with 64gb or is there a way to run the Patriot Viper Xtreme DDR5-8000 DIMM CL 38-48-48-84 Dual Kit stable?

It looks like that ram is designed for intel.

Perhaps shop for a 2x32GB kit that supports expo.

With DDR5 running 2DPC at a high speed is questionable no matter what platform is in play. AMD's memory controller isn't as good as Intel's so the speeds they can hit with 2DPC is even lower. Going over 6000-6400 is of questionable benefit on AMD as it is. If you need 64GB+ DRAM your best bet is to get a low latency (CL30 or less) kit of either 2x32GB or 2x48GB running 6000-6400.

Ram to run properly at rated speeds must come from a single matched kit.
Two kits of identical part numbers may be made up of different components.

If you want to try to get things to work, enter the bios and enter the desired specs yourself. But, increase the ram voltage higher than the default.

Run
memtest86.

It does not use windows.

If it runs a full test with NO errors, you are likely OK.

To be sure, run a couple more times.

If you exchange the ram, buy a single kit that shows up on the ram QVL list for your motherboard/cpu combo. Or is explicitly supported on a ram vendor's support app.
