Hi everyone
So, it appears I've made a big screw up...I've been building a new system as I can get the parts together and have:
ASRock Taichi X570
Amd 5950X
Corsair 128GB RAM, specifically 3600Mhz, model number CMW128GX4M4D3600C18
The machine boots fine, but it reports only 32GB RAM, with 8GB per channel.
After a bit of head scratching and updating to the latest BIOS I've realised that I don't think the board supports the RAM, it seems like I should have been using C15/C16 at a lower Mhz instead. Oops.
I wonder what my options are now? Is it possible to undervolt the RAM to slow it down so it works in the board? (I have no idea, I've never changed from stock speeds before as I need stability for working on the machine).
Unfortunately I can't send the RAM back as I've had it for two months...being able to buy the CPU took a lot longer than I initially expected!
I'm wondering if I may have to change the board for something that supports the RAM, but I'm struggling to find one. I bought the Taichi specifically because it has 3 x M.2 drive slots and 8 SATA slots...I'll use all of those so 2 x M.2 & 6 x SATA of most boards really isn't ideal for me.
Thanks for any advice, I'm a bit stuck and really need this machine built asap while I have a few days off.
