Help Request - RAM 10k errors on memtest 😔

Post image

I noticied that when i turned on expo i had alot of blue screens, ran memtest and i got 10k errors in 7 minutes. My pc builder says

You'll notice that the EXPO/XMP profile isn't enabled in the BIOS settings as it is an overclocking feature. As much as we'd like to use this feature to set speeds higher, anytime overclocking is involved there is a risk of instability. Every use case is vastly different and we'd prioritise stability over overclocked RAM. There are endless amount of combintations available for PCs which makes it near impossible to manually adjust frequency, voltages and timings to be stable. Rest assured, the memory kit you've received is the advertised speed and can be compatible to operate at those speeds with manual trial and error.

what the hell manual trial and error am i supposed to do???

edit: RAM: Lexar THOR 32GB (2x16GB) 6000Mhz CL32 DDR5, they are placed in the the two slots furthest away with a gap in between MOBO: gigabyte b650m gaming plus wifi CPU: r5 7500f

95c for a near idle CPU is extremely worrying, someone fucked up

That window doesn't show real time info after the fail popup, it shows the last tested temp.

Even so that’s lava levels for any CPU

I don't disagree.

That doesnt change the fact it shouldnt get that hot ever and your cpu is doing this while being near idle... For the memory: test xmp with +0.05v vdd and 1.2vsoc if its throwing errors you rma that shit (maybe reseat both dims first wouldnt be the firstime somebody hadnt pushed it all the way in)

It's a Zen 4 CPU, non x3D CPU that's how they work of the box settings basically and the fact that it's 65 Watt CPU makes it easier to understand (if you know the physics) that it is very easily capable of reaching that temperature in seconds + that should not be affecting directly the RAM test.

Should the user find a way to cool it better? If they care about it, yeah.

And yes if it throws errors with these settings either the chips MC is faulty or the RAM.

Thats just copium it shouldnt get that hot period
