Meanwhile the laptop department of msi and every laptop maker whistles trying to look innocent.

Still far from DDR5 reg limit per slot, but it goes in the right way 🙂 (everything with more mem on limited space is good lol)

That still a lot memory and they only have to dbl that than there max out and it's kind of over kill even for power user as the only used case I can see this being used for is in a servers with large databases

Or to don't use physical storage. But i agree that 256 Go per slot, as on pro side, is a bit too much for everyday use, at least for now 🙂

about time, servers with desktop hardware and 256GB incoming finally.

Im having a hard time believing you can make it stable. Even 128gb was an issue for AM5 as it cant reach 6000mhz using so much memory.

If 256GB memory is needed a 4 channel ECC threadripper might be a better option, because the speed is much higher, ECC is much safer and 4 super high density sticks might be more expensive then 8 half sized cheaper sticks. A free upgrade is always nice but for home hobby servers it might not be practical for a year or more before the memory sticks get cheaper. I am using 2X 32GB sticks and they work fine and are fairly cheap, 64GB and 128GB are super expensive here, 4x 32GB sticks almost has the same price as one 64GB stick.

since when can you run 4 sticks ddr5 reliably ? you can't so this is not happening unless with crippling low clocks <4800 and MSI is the king of false advertisement when it comes to memory support I tried 3 kits on my MEG X670E ACE all according to MSI "4 slots" validated none worked at best I could run 2x 5200 which is patethic 4x4800 was a nightmare of reboots, no boots etc... motherboards manufacturers went the China way and just lie outright all the time any DDR5 motherboard that has 4 slots is lying in the 1st place it doesn't work properly and never will because each DDR5 stick is taking two channels already I'm not starting a debate, believe me or not there's a reason why EVERY single techtuber is running two in his tests and on their personal rigs that's not what I call "working" and there's also a reason why several went Intel back from AMD because they were tired of "hoping to boot tomorrow" I loved my X570 5950x but it was DDR4 and DDR4 wasn't based on a lie btw it's not me saying it but AHOC buildzoid : those two unused dimm slots act as antennas and capture interferences messing up the capacity of your installed memory to run higher..this is why ocing dedicated boards only have 2 dimms

The loose ends buildzoid is talking about with the unused dimms working as antennas is not so much that they pick up noise, but the biggest problem is that they do not end in something and that can load the memory controller depending on the length of those loose ends and the frequency of the sticks. Sorry that your MSI board and memory combo is not working well, I have seen reviews running 6000 on that board, and multiple other boards work on 2 sticks at 6000 speeds, my asrock b650e steel legend ( 6200 30 40 40 96 double sided 2X 32GB) and Hilberts asrock x670e steel legend works at 6200 1:1 too. Keep the VSOC at 1.2-1.25V for best stability, too much can make the CPU/memory unstable. DDR4 was not a success for me on X370, I was able to run 3200 and that was it. Later with a couple of bios updates and a 5800 upgrade I was able to boot 1 stick 3600 and then set timings in bios and install stick 2, every bios reset or update I had to remove 1 stick to boot and then install stick 2 afterwards. Tried to run 4 sticks, but I was never able to get them booting even when installing 1 stick first to adjust bios settings before filling the slots. For me DDR5 was a much smoother beginning then DDR4, but I was also on a older X370 then your late X570. My "fairly ok" DDR4 experience made me pay extra for a large kit, because I did not expect to ever be able to upgrade to 4 sticks in the future.

Now we can install Jedi Survivor on the RAM to get rid of stuttering.
