    How very strange. I manage a deployment of hundreds of ddr5 based systems and have had no issues with failing ram. Not a single one.

    I have seen multiple consumer am5 motherboards with poor bios that fail to recognize ram and we’ve definitely seen stories of atypical processor failure rates in a handful of am5 boards by a couple of manufacturers. All of these things point to declining investment in motherboard design and testing by a couple of consumer motherboard brands rather than issues with modern silicon.

      The dead power management issue was more prevalent on the first generation of DDR5 sticks leaving the factories, sometimes with certain motherboard vendors (like Gigabyte) making the issue worse by using very aggressive “auto tuning” during memory training that never was quite within spec.
