       Very Entertaining Fact™ (patent pending): a broken Secure Boot (ie setup mode without anywhere to boot into) on an MSI motherboard will leave the EZ Debug LED on for the CPU :blobcatsweat:

       I’m gonna assume that this RAM’s XMP profile is simply not tested for quad channeling, since I cannot find it anywhere anywaynow I need to manually OC, ugh

       yeah, the fact is, I have dual rank RAM on quad channel, that is a pretty bad combo for DDR4good thing I’m on DDR5, where turning on the computer will automatically blow everything up :blobcatrainbow:

       @xerz I just had some pretty big issues with RAM speed on a Ryzen 7 with 4 Corsair sticks.  Good luck - it was a bit of a nightmare.
