The sticks were old ones that I had used a few years ago before upgrading.

Turns out it was a id10t error, and I hadn’t fully seated the new sticks. Not sure why that problem persisted after a removed them but oh well. It’s now working.

64gigs of RAM running at a measly 2100mts. Now it’s time to figure out how to get both running with xmp.

Thanks @arete for all your help

I was able to get it working with the original two ram sticks, but trying again for the four series to have the same issue.

Oh well

I actually just tried with a different stick in a2 and it’s now stuck on VGA, which is progress, I guess.

I’ll have to pick up some new paste to try reseating the cpu next.

What games?

Honestly unless your seeing performance issues, I’d just keep the cash and buy more games.

But you ou could go to a 5800x3d on the same mb/ram. It’d be a drop in cores, but depending on the games it could be beneficial.

Or upgrade cpu/ram/mb to the newest gen
