Bios update fixed the issue, thanks!

Ill do that first thing in the morning

6000Mhz is indeed out of spec but pretty much everyone says its the sweet spot, besides that, its still strange then that 5600Mhz has issues, and i am using 2 sticks in the correct slots according to motherboard manual. Ill run memtest64 at both speeds and ill let you know what it spits out, ill also update the bios

So the reason i was suspecting mem is because even prime 95 spits out fatal error at 6000Mhz, however it did not complain at 5600Mhz but my games still crash at those speeds. But ill run memtest 64 then at both speeds, ill let you know what it'll say

So I've just built my new PC with and R9 7950x and RTX 3090, however none of my games actually run without crashing, i think i've narrowed the issue down to memory speed, because when i run the memory at 4800 MHz the games run fine, but at 5600mhz and 6000mhz all the games just crash after like max 20 minutes (the high ram speed was with EXPO II in the bios enabled. the games most often dont even give an error code when crashing, How do i get my pc stable with 6000Mhz ram? My parts are: CPU: Ryzen 9 7950x MOBO: Asus ROG Crosshair X670 HERO GAME STORAGE: 5* 2TB HGST Ultrastar 7K2 (in pooled storage array) RECORDING DRIVE: Toshiba P300 3TB CASE:BeQuiet! Silentbase 801 COOLER: Noctua NHD-15 FANS: 9* Fractal Design Aspect 14 RGB RAM: Gskill Trident Z5 NEO RGB F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR PSU: Seasonic Prime PX-1300 BOOTDRIVE: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB

mmm OK, thank you, this is the type of answer i was looking for

Alright thank you, so you'd say it is a bad idea to do so?

Alright so currently i'm running an I7 5930K at 4.3Ghz @1.251V on a Asus X99 Deluxe II, i'm currently cooling it using a 120mm AIO (coolermaster masterliquid ml120 RGB) with a Noctua fan replacing the RGB fan, but my cpu (as expected) is still running quite hot (up to 90 degrees C) so i ordered an NHD15 and i also ordered some Thermal Grizzly Liquid Metal out curiosity and i also intend to push my OC further, now my question is, since my cpu is a soldered one would using the liquid metal to contact the IHS and NHD 15 offer a cooling performance benefit over using the included thermal paste, and is it safe if done properly? the air config in my case is atm 3x 140mm intake at the front (bequiet shadow wings) and 3x 140mm exhaust at the top (Fractal Design Silent R2's) and the AIO is also serving as an exhaust at the back, and i am using all of this with an aircooled GTX 1070, 48GB of DDR4 3200Mhz (divided over 8 banks) and my case is a Silent Base 801, not sure if all of this is relevant but i thought it might be worth mentioning.

does it really matter that much if i use motherboard raid? cuz all the data is easily replacable and as long as it just works its fine, would raid 5 maybe make sense?

they will just be used as game library, so nothing special, they will be in my gaming pc for daily use

well, what would be my best option then?

well what the main thing is that i want is the 5 drives to show up as one, is that achievable?

But what makes motherboard raid so bad?

Im not really trying to protect against anything, its just a steamlibrary, so nothing special will be stored onto them, they have a 100% health rating and smart values are good

Alright first off parts list: Motherboard: Asus X99 deluxe II CPU: I7 5930K GPU: GTX 1070 iChill (By INNO3D) Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16Q-16GVK (4x4Gb 3200Mhz runs at 2400Mhz in my pc tho) Bootdrive: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB The 5 raid drives: HGST Ultrastar 7K2 2TB (these are used and have been used for about 53000 hours) (spec sheet: https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/western-digital/product/data-center-drives/ultrastar-dc-ha200-series/data-sheet-ultrastar-dc-ha210.pdf ) And i have 2 more sata recording drives, dont know the exact type, but they're a 120gb kingston ssd and a 750gb Toshiba HDD PSU: RM750x by corsair I think these are all the relevant parts Alright so I intend to use this raid array as a library for pretty much all my games and some movies and stuff like that, so what i would like to know is, what raid type would be best for me and my usecase? and how would i set such a thing up, i have no experience with raid whatsoever, so i'm completely new to it all, so any advice is welcome! I dont mind losing some capacity for redundancy or things like that. I hope to have provided enough info this way, if not please let me know and i can provide the missing info. Little sidenote, i plan on overclocking my CPU, i dont know if this will influence anything but i thought it was worth mentioning.
