One of the first thing i set was Expo, but i rechecked it during troubleshooting it was fine, CL30-36-36-40 if i remember correctly.
I think it might be that the X3D boost doesn’t recognize cinebench or that it does some funky stuff that in multi-core test it doesn’t turbo properly
hmm, not every program out there can take advantage of X3D afaik so maybe that happened.
Sweet spot for DDR5 afaik is 6000hz30cl rated ones.
(like this one: https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129369 )
We have the same ram then 
Although I found out later that this one is like 20% cheaper over here and has the same specs…

Its usually the one recommended on the swedish version of pcpartpicker.
Since Photoshop, lightroom and other stuff i use are kinda Ram hogs so i went for a 64gb kt right of the bat and those are hard to find and pretty pricey unfortunately
Coudnt you buy 2 sets of 2x16gb kits? Of the same model of course.
Do you actually end up using that much ram though? Personally I dont think I have gone over 20gb for my pc on linux, with minimal swap memory as well.
i tend to hit 40ish depending on the workload. As far as i know 4 sticks play less nicely than 2 sticks (its been an issue with most DDR5 since launch and as far as ive read its still is an issue)
aa yeah I have heard something about that myself. Not sure how much it degrades the performance nor how much money you would save on buying 2 2x16gb kits instead of a single 2x32gb kit. Ram should last a damn long time anyway so maybe not worth skimping on it like this…
(my old pc has zero issues with the 12 year ram in it…)
yeah depending on your board/chipset etc quad channel can be a lot less stable.
previous board I had to run my 3600mhz DDR4 at 3200, new board no issues with 3600.
also even if its the same kit sometimes they mix manufacturers which can mess things up.

its a specific DDR5 thing that, memory controllers have a hard time syncing DDR5 between 4 different sticks is a fairly known issue (it hasnt been resolved to my knowledge), often it will either cause stability issues or lower clock speeds.
This video is about 12th gen intel, but the issue has popped up in AMD as well

So this is “Ruth”, a scavenged together PC (intel I5-4590) turned NAS, the front IO and power button didnt work so i cut the wires, installed a nice big ON/OFF/Reset switch, threw in a 2.5G PCIE network card and an Aliexpress hard drive caddy to hold all these hard drives (Double sided taped FTW 
)
I decided to try HexOS (since i already bought it). So far its been a breeze, setup was quick and painless, the network interface is nice, for me it seem to be fine.
Thing is, she is due for some upgrades
-
More Power - right now im at max capacity in term of Sata power, so if i want more storage, that will have to first
-
More storage, both HDD and SSD, more HDDs (Right now i have 3X6TB HDDs + 2X2TB HDDs) is for pure storage. The SSDs will be a separate pool for stuff that i want to actively work on
-
Upgrade the platform - Mainly for reliability sake, since im only using this for storage i dont really need a lot of horsepower but something more modern would be nice.
P.S i also have a cloud backup (backblaze) backing everything up

Cool!
Look into this sata cable for better organization,

I would get bigger drives rather than more, would also solve your power issue.
And get something like an exos drive if its on 24/7.
Sadly if you want a big upgrade you have to get new cpu, mb and ram. Or the best cpu u can get on that socket would be the i7 5775C or the i7 4790k with the 5775c being more efficient. They arent that cheap though and its why I havent made the upgrade myself on my old 4670k as i rather get a completely new setup instead, want to wait for the 16th gen intel that should be out next year as it seems they are going into “do or die” with it. 15th gen would also be viable except that socket will not be reused again for 16 so really bad for future proofing.
not holding out much hope for intel, 14th gen is more expensive than 15th gen atm lol (I could get a 15th gen I7 with a mobo for cheaper than just a 14700k)
Thanks for the cable rec
As far as upgrades ya i know. the HDDs is just what i had on hand, i planning on phasing out to 10TBs (im testing one right now, refurbished WD Ultrastar so far A+) but i’ll mange for now, the PSU will be first, then the platform, last will be the storage since ive got room to spare for now. I’ll probably get a used AM4 platform, reuse the DDR4 i got
been thinking about something like this with the spare parts from friends + family I put together but I don’t really have a use for it lol, its just been gathering dust since I stopped running a game server
Havent checked prices for 14th as im too scared of all the issues i heard with the 13 and 14th gen.
but at least the 12th gen is cheaper than 15th except i dunno about buying new for a 4 year old gen and its like 100 usd difference between them.
We’ll So far HexOS has been pretty seemless and the fact that it’s truenas under the hood is really nice since stuff like Plex dont need anything too fancy, so i’d say go for it
If you are in the US use this.
Not a problem unless u need hardware accel (intel qsv is top tier) and/or low idle drainage.
I have a 12600k atm was wanting to trade up to a 14700k for the extra cores, 14600k isn’t worth because its like 15% better performance for 25% more power consumption, think I’m just waiting for AMD’s next platform at this point
Unfortunately im outside the US. and as far as platform, when the time comes i’ll see what i can find used but ive had a long beef with intel systems, but i’ll wait and see
