I've got a 7950x machine with a Gigabyte x670 aorus elite AX motherboard with G.Skill Ripjaws S5 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory in A2+B2. Running it with XMP profile at 6400. No overclocking in use.
The mobo is on the latest bios and the memory is on the QVL.
Machine has worked great for a year and just started to blue screen with CACHEMANAGER. Memtested it, and one stick fails tests 3+4 almost immediately. Pull that stick, leaving the other one in A2. Works fine at 6400. Put the potentially bad stick back in A2 by itself, fails at 6400 immediately.
Turned off XMP, memtest ran overnight at 4800 just fine w both sticks.
Can a stick go bad in such a way that it just loses its top end like that? I could see if 6400 never worked, then maybe I'm running into some compatibility issue, but for it work fine for a year..... and then all of a sudden have a hard problem like that?
I'm inclined to send it back to g.skill.
Thanks
