Now here`s the rub, not sure if you can remove the metal backplate and move it to m.2 slot 4 or 5,

however most double sided m.2 have the controller on the top, so shouldn't make a massive difference,

The other alternative is the sas port like I did...

I'm going to try to "sandwich" the sn850x from below with some thick thermal pads I found I still have (Gelid Ultimate that works very good) to the motherboard and replace the top thermal pads as well with thinner Gelid. I'll keep an eye everything makes good contact.

I don't want to gamble to fry the nand from below. Maybe to leave it breath from below it might be even better so I might try both options.

Its just not right Asus don't provide all m.2 slots with double sided cooling. It's so cheap to do for them and they charge so much for the motherboard that it's not fare.

Asus....

Gelid Extreme is go to over Gelid Ultimate because the Extreme is super soft and squishy, not hard like the Ultimate, and as a result actually contacts the areas better and ultimately cools much better.

I used to use Ultimate until I found out the Extreme performs much better.

I find out I have this Ultimate ones as well :)

It's been some time I have them storaged.

Starting to work on it right now.

Is it necessary to do that? I got a sn850x 8TB and 4TB and did not account the board bottom slot underside isn't heatsink. What is the underside nand temp?
Also do you actually need to remove the rubber on the PCIE x4 m.2 slot?
The install manually say the rubber installed by default is compatible with double sided M.2.

New G.Skill memory coming out soon
That 64gb dual channel CL26 sounds really nice. The article specifically mentions these kits being tested on the crosshair x870e hero.

I was using a 2x32GB Hynix A-die kit a month ago when I built the PC. I had them at 6400CL30 but I didn't test that much and swap for the 2x16GB.

I'm not 100% sure but I read since they are dual rank it's more dificult to OC or maybe they don't get as much OC as a 2x16GB Hynix A-die.

Hero seems to work fine with dual rank A-Die. Been running the following profile for a month and has been rock stable. Though mine has a bit better secondary and tertiary timings compared to the GSkill kit so also a bit more voltage. (does not post on 0706 at all though lol)

2x16GB Adie kit can do the above timings at 6400mhz with my cpu.

Do you notice any difference between 6400 single rank vs 6200 dual rank?

Didn't someone in here say that JJ said on a ROG stream that there wouldn't be any more new ROG X870/X870E motherboards?

Posting this here as I didn't get many replies in the DDR5 thread.

Some success at the noob end of the scale here.

I've got 6400 MT/s now with FCLK 2200, GDM off (which was huge for me!) and its now stable.
Done 8hrs VT3/FFTv4 y-cruncher combo, TM5 Absolut + PCBdestroyer and p95 Large FFT for 8 hrs.

I needed 1.26v VSOC in the end, slight bump in VDD/DQ to 1.41v and VDDP to 1.1v.

My big issue for me was these rules not being followed:

tRAS=tRCD+tRTP
tRC=tRAS+tRP
tFAW = 4x tRRDS

I realised how stupid I was being, went back to basics, read and watched alot more.

Ended up with this:

Yes I know my latency could be better (and yes.. I know AIDA isnt everything :LOL:), but I'm using Level 2 for Core Tunings atm. Perhaps I should move to Legacy. My target was to try and sub sub 60ns but I'm happy tbh.

Got training with Nitro 1-2-1 which I'm happy with for now. Think I tried 1-2-0 and it wouldn't post, but I've come from 1-3-1.

Got matching tPHYRDL (35) as well which was really cool to learn about
"ArdPtrInitVal P0 = 2" was the option to solve that.

I think this is my 24/7 setup for now. Off to do some CO and PBO stuff and then maybe go down the ECLK rabbit hole.

Two questions
A) Where is next without active DIMM cooling?
B) Does this journey ever end, hah - feel like I spend more time stress testing then gaming at the minute!
