@stefan sort of, I was able to swap the mobo, but I had to use different ram sticks since the ECC ones I got refused to work properly so I'm just non-ECC spares I have for now until I can be bothered to try again

@stefan to be fair they were a pain to use even with the old motherboard, just that this time I wasn't willing to drop speeds so low this time

@mikoto as far as I am aware ECC was only more or less suppported by ryzen. So you really need a somewhat proper board.

Personally I just never bothered with ECC. Older Ryzens are picky enough with Ram as is....

@stefan yeah I thought I'd be able to do better with a newer chip like the 5800x but nope

@stefan before that I was using a 2700x, which doesn't have the best imc but I do remember running it in my desktop before with 3200 MT/s ram so I don't think it was that bad

@mikoto The memory-controllers were better on them and way less picky I think. Maybe the mobo is not upp to snuff? Or you have such a monday cpu

@stefan idk, I mean I am using a low-mid b550 board but the same board runs my spare kit at 3000 MT/s just fine right now (could go to 3200 but this is what the xmp profile uses)

@mikoto 3200 is fairly decent for 2000-series. Oh man I remember 1000 being so picky you needed specific Dies on the memory to reach that.

@stefan I remember when everyone was crazy about getting Samsung B-dies on their ram partly cause it was one of those that could work even with early ryzens without problems

@mikoto Yeah I made sure to get some of those. Man they were expensive like 120€ for a used kit during the big ram shortage lol

@mikoto Good that the IMC are so much better nowadays. Though for ECC you still might need a good board
