Hello,
I am thinking of building a PC with 13Gen Intel CPU 13900K and a Z790 chipset motherboard.
My understanding is that DDR5 + XMP is no really viable at the moment. I read a lot about instabilities with 4 DDR5 modules installed in the system and the difficulties to get them to the advertised speeds (I think above 4800 MHz).
I want to ask our PC build enthusiasts, about their view on:
- Getting 4 DIMM 128GB and keep XMP off. What's the impact on performance? Is it so drastic that I really make no sense to do something like this? What's the impact in performance? 10%, 20%? Any specific applications that are impacted more than others?
- Anyone runs a DDR5 128GB system? What have you done? Do you have XMP on?
I am researching this topic for a few days now, and I didn't find any concrete answers. There are some YouTube manual tweaks that are made 4 DIMMs DDR5 work with XMP on, but I am debating the stability over time. Some users said that is stable for some time, then gets unstable. The last thing I want is to have a high maintenance system.
Thank you all for the input.
