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?

    It used to be the case. DDR5 is just very new, and hasn’t really matured quite yet. Let Intel and AMD have a year or two of trial and error and it will be fine.

    But for now, it’s 2 sticks or nothing

      Itll still be two sticks in the future. I just checked myself to confirm. Looking at even Z790 boards that take DDR4 the higher you go in capacity and slots used the slower the board supports. Its not a matter of DDR5 or not. Just dont run 4 DIMMS if you dont have to or if you prefer speed

        Max speed w/ 4 DIMM being lower does not mean that you can’t run 4 supported sticks at their advertised speed, it just means that the fastest sticks are not supported in sets of 4. As long as you stick within the supported specs, you should expect to be fine.
