I can’t run my ram at advertised speeds without instability, I’m running 4 sticks of DDR5 with default xmp profile and getting BSODS. Is there any workaround?

    If you want 4 channels, you need a platform that supports 4 channels (ie: use 1 DIMM per channel to get full rated speed and stability). Putting a 4 channel kit on a dual channel board is going to have the same result you’re already dealing with. 2 DIMMs per channel simply isn’t as stable.

      Yeah, I have a 14900k with 2 990’s in RAID 0 and a 4080, so a small hit in ram perf isn’t a deal breaker. I have to have 128gb of ram for work, so accept the slightly slower clock speed.

      I’m not jonesing for frames. I have a 240fps gsynch g9 and run 120fps in pretty much every AAA game.

      Mostly just telling OP to slow the memory down a bit and they’ll be ok most likely.

      My machine is 100% stable on 4 channel even though it’s not officially supported at 5066mhz.
