AM5 memory stability question

[hatedestruction]

Hello, I'm unsure if there's already a thread open about this and I apologize if so.

 

I have been running some G.Skill Trident Neo DDR5 6000 in my main gaming rig for the past 6 months. I know that there have been a lot of memory instability issues since the launch and was wondering if I was to install another set of 32GB (currently have 32GB) into my machine, would I lose stability or has AMD and board partners worked out the issues with this problem?

 

*edit - forgot to mention I am up-to-date on my most current BIOS version (that isn't beta) and am running with EXPO turned on

If you need more RAM, you're better off getting a 2x32GB kit instead for various reasons, general stability being one of them running a single set of dual channel DIMMs versus doubled up memory channels.

 

It depends on how the memory channels are wired on the motherboard, but DDR5 is a bit of a different beast from my understanding so I won't speak too deeply on that since I haven't researched much into it.

 

If you're just wanting to fill the slots to make it look cool, there's blank/dummy DIMMs of various RGB RAM to satisfy the needs of people who might simply want to fill in the other slots with RGB.

My motherboard is an Asrock Pro RS x670e, if that helps. I believe you might be right about just grabbing a new kit of 2x32GB may be better though. I'll look at pricing differences, and maybe just sell my old RAM. Thanks!
