  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    It’s an issue with ddr5 memory checks. You can disable the checks but you might get instability.

    tell me more about this. where is this issue documented and how can i read more?

    It's called memory training. Disabling it will hurt either stability, performance, or both. I really wouldn't bother. Just use sleep mode if time is of the essence. Don't unplug your machine from the wall; if it remains powered a lot of systems will skip the training.

    You can enable "Memory Context Restore" in the BIOS. There are also "DDR5 training options" you can mess with if you know what you're doing.

    But like I said to the other person, the best way to speed up POST times is to simply keep your BIOS up to date. That alone has sped up my PC way more than any setting you can change.

    thanks for the tip, i have it updated but it still takes a good 20 seconds to post still.

    annoying when your ssd can theoretically read everything it needs to boot in less than a second

    ill try reading up on how this training works.

    [–] Psythik 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    Yeah I already did that but it's actually faster now to leave the memory training bypass shit off. (And like you said, bypassing memory training can lead to instability.) But when this motherboard first launched it actually did help speed up POST times.

    I'm just glad that AMD is committed to working with motherboard manufacturers to keep the BIOS updates coming. This is my first AMD machine; I'm used to getting just one update over the course of my machine's lifespan—if even that—with the various Intel rigs I've built over the years.
