Question Will Expo mess things up....

[SPECOPS70]

Hello all.

Seen a few youtube vids saying if I enable expo with 2 or 4 dimms it will give me an error. Any truth to this? Specs in sig.

The answer is... it depends. If you buy RAM modules from the motherboard's QVL document, then there's a good chance that it'll work just fine. If you buy modules outside of the QVL document, it may work, but there's no guarantee it will.

The worst that'll happen is your computer won't boot. You'll just have to reset the UEFI settings if that happens if the board's firmware doesn't recover from it automagically.

It depends on the game, the settings, and the CPU: https://www.techspot.com/review/2635-ryzen-7950x3d-memory-scaling/

If you want the "brain dead" advice, get DDR5-6000 CL30, or whatever the lowest CL you can find.
