So, you have to "train" your memory (whatever it means) now every boot?
Why is hardware getting worse instead of better?

there are massive differences between MBs look it up before you pick one. i cant find benchmarks that only go up to the bootloader they include winblows in this shit. still it blows my mind that they cant make an MB that basically goes instantly to the bootloader

Memory training has been a thing since before you were born. It's just more prominent these days because training speeds haven't kept up with memory capacities. Also, modern consumer hardware shouldn't have to re-train on every boot unless it's defective or misconfigured. Fix your shit.

you prefer that one because you can see it with they eyes and yo nigga hand be fire grab that shid off fag whitey yo. meanwhile whats a nigga gonna do to take a PC? he gotta unplug everythang and try not to get bit by they dog carrin out that heavy shieeet.

they really have to advertise stuff like this if they started adding 'boots in 10 sec' on the box i bet a lot of people would go for those
>>108666236
i think in the future cpus,ram and ssds will all use very similar looking interfaces. might even use the same one with different 'keys' like different m.2 cards today.

i haven't turned off my computers for 2 months each why would i give a shit if it takes 20 seconds longer to boot, boot time is the most irrelevant metric on earth, ever since SSD it does not matter

Its getting to the point were everything is bleeding edge, and they are producing so much, that the training cant be realistically dont in facility, and set to a base line. And with the temperature, and humidity, and hardware, and power supply degradation, and input voltage from the wall, and bios version, and os differences, and preset settings, you can tune stuff to be a hell of a lot faster, instead of relying on the manufacturer baseline tune.

>so basically, SoM's like the PI compute module?
im talking about the physical interface, compute modules of raspberry use s D-PHY connector (pic related)
i think the new framework laptop is one of the first if not the first computer with LPCAMM2 which has a land grid array connector. i think its starting with laptops but will soon move on to all PC ram and all PC SSDs being connected via land grid connectors just like the CPU
>is just a carrier board with all the IO and power delivery stuff
i mean that's what a motherboard is

What is the amount of RAM people have now?
64 GB? 128GB if rich (and kinda pointless since its slow RAM for the CPU and not proper fast GDDR on your graphics card you could do actually anything useful with)?
So, 4 times, at best 8x the amount of RAM on my 15 year old PC?
Wow, such bleeding edge, such progress...
>>
>>
>>108669665
Yeah doofus im talking about actual bleeding edge. Not ddr4 or ddr5. Im talking about hbm3/4 and ddr7+ ram. Also, did you even fucking read everything I wrote? Do you actually think all these factors DONT play a role in the performance of these chips?

>you have to "train" your memory (whatever it means) now every boot?
you have to train every PCIE connection to adjust filter paramaters, every motherboard is different so every GPU goes throug a training cycle

Thank you OP for reminding me yet again that there is still no good reason for me to upgrade from my Ryzen 9 5950X paired with 128GB of CL16 DDR4 3600.

There isn't. Used to run a system with 4x16 DDR4 3600CL14. Upgraded the whole thing, wanted to run 4x32GB DDR5 from the manufacturers QVL and it took over an hour to train, 20+ minutes to retrain every other boot with all DDR5 cope options turned on. Only solution is accepting that DDR5 is a scam since using more than two DIMMs might technically work but it's still not in a state I'd call anywhere near acceptable considering the hefty fucking markup DDR5 always had over DDR4 while offering no benefits. If you can just skip DDR5 altogether. Seriously it's that fucking shit. I regret upgrading and not taking my own advice and waiting for DDR6 to fix DDR5 fuckups.

old stats. 43 is out, 44 is almost done.
>>
Unless you're doing something retarded, memory training should only ever happen after changing the physical configuration of the memory in any way (including just reseating) or changing xmp/docp/manual tuning profiles, and it should only happen once until the next change. What retard shit are you doing to make this an issue?

>>108660844
>DDR5
im still on ddr3
its literally fine? i don't *need* ddr4
luckily im not using windows and forced to update to slower and slower operating system so i haven't needed to update ram in years.
i do have a work laptop on w11 and every time i leave it alone for 5 minutes the fan spins up to 100% like its about to take off. i just use it for emails what the fuck is it indexing? so i can see that some cucks will think oh yes please the latest thing, 'latest and greatest' as my indian colleague says.
but its not for me. dont need it thanks.

Gone are the days of fast booting.
I have a B550 MSI board and a 5900X and this shit takes a good half a minute boot into linux. I remember booting in half of that with an old machine on 8.1 (and with fast startup disabled, so there's no excuse there).
Nowadays, I turn on my mac mini with macOS installed on an external drive, and that takes about 15 seconds tops.

Currently using an MSI Z790 Pro-A Wifi, maybe 5 seconds boot time with I5 13600k + 2x16GB DDR5 6400mhz CL32.
Old PC with Asrock Z270 + I7 7700k and 4x8GB DDR4 at 2133mhz CL16, almost same boot time.
Relative's PC with i5 12400 and a cheap Gigabyte M-ATX MOBO (B at that) B760M Gaming X AX + 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHZ CL16 , almost same boot time.
Yeah no, shitty post times only happen with AMD garbage CPU's, they had the same problems with the 7800X3D, same with 9800X3D and 9950X3D...
Those CPU's also hate RAM with high clock speed unlike Intel and eat up to 35 watts when idle (lol).
Can't wait for Intel to get back on its feet and make better gaming CPU's (it will happen), AMD always fucks everything up somehow, like 9800X3D still frying themselves for stupid reasons.

I have a 9800x3d and am using a 6000 cl30 kit w/ expo. the initial training took a while, but it saves the config and reloads it every boot. it's been ~10 months and the ram has retrained 3 times on boot with me booting my computer at least once a day (shorter than the inital, but still like a 1-2 minutes). I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but it has only happened after windows updates so maybe something changes and windows requests a retrain? anways, it basically doesn't matter, you will spend more time with your pc being unusable due to updates than from ram training
I am actually curious if someone had left their pc on for the same 10 month period as me if the ram would have become unstable or performance worsened since it doesn't recalibrate every day / on those rare times it needs to retrain
>>
>>108688000
9800x3D 6000Mhz CL30-36-33-126 here. (manually tuned, no EXPO/XMP)
I built my PC in mid December and have turned my PC off twice in that time, once in February and once again just a few days ago.
Zero issues and my RAM didn't do any retraining, but the two times I restarted were for windows updates, so boot took longer than "normal" on both occasions due to that more than anything else.
But yeah, I basically only restart every 2-3 months and so far zero retraining after the first initial training back in December.

LOL. Us Intel chads don't have this problem. My system boots in less than 5 seconds. Also run 4x16 DDR5 6200 Mhz with perfect system stability.
>Memory training
HAHAHAHAHA. AMD tards have to train their memory with every single boot. Imagine actually paying for this trash.

>>108689242
Let's not be too charitable to AMD. Early AM5 AGESA was terrible and turning this on had a 50/50 of causing failure to boot. Something like this should be on by default and the reason why it wasn't was purely AMD's fault. It's still not in a good enough state to have on by default.

There isn't, unironically. You have WAY more RAM than most end-users have even a decade past when it was "good enough" (8GB). Even 16GB is the bare minimum if you're doing gaming.
If you're 32+GB, you're in complete overkill territory and unless you're doing something intensive (running a complete server off that hardware) it's complete overkill for most UseCase?.meme's.

That's a Windows problem. I don't recall Linux waking from S3 to do an update because Linux respects the user and PROMPTS an update request instead of doing it because it's users are iToddler-tier.
Windows is the only time I've had the computer wake from sleep and never go back to sleep because of an update.
