Latency Timings

Good afternoon all

I need some advice on latency timings. I have had a new build (self built) for about a month now and had no issues up until yet. I'm using a Gigabyte B650M Gaming X AX Motherboard along with FURY Beast EXPO RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz RAM. The memory doesn't appear on the Gigabyte tested list, however they state, just because it isn't there doesn't mean it wont work. I've had a few crashes, when playing online and AMD Adrenalin reports an issue, the screen goes white and I have to hit the rest button. I have installed a Sapphire Nitro RX 7800 XT. I was wondering is it an issue with Latency?

I have EXPO turned on. High bandwidth support is disabled and my timings are 36-44-44.

Can anyone see a problem here? your thoughts please.

well, if crashes are regular/repeatable enough, you could turn off XMP and see if crashing continues. If it does, memory is not the cause.

Run TestMem5 (TM5) if you get even 1 error you have a problem with you ram

Thanks both. I have turned off EXPO and its been fine all evening. Disappointing though I've had to disable it.

Ahh, it's funny you mention that. It was updated just before I started to have these problems.

I'll try that, will update once done. Appreciate it, thanks.

6000mhz cl36 should not be a problem for any AM5 cpu.

Done that. Used TestMem before I changed anything, with no errors. Reset bios, turned on expo and tested again, no errors. See how it goes, I suppose.

if TM5 finds no errors then the ram is fine.
when you update bios you should alwasy reset the defaults after the update can change some values.

I'll keep that in mind for future. Thanks all, for your help.
