Nice, is that the Thermalright Aqua Elite in your sig?
Thank you!

No sir, that is their FW PRO 360 Black. The stock TL-P12 fans are on the other side of the rad, inside I am using TL-H12-X28 -S. They are pretty decent for the price. The cooler is a bit different than the Aqua Elite as it uses different hoses and fittings, same rad though I think.. Different pump too, this one doesn't spin as fast, but it is quieter and can take a bit more juice it seems. That could just be the mate though.

Updated got rid of 21 cable connections switched out all fans for Lian Li infinity fans almost spent another $164 on 3 fans but the original 3 pack came with the controller and 3 cables just used those 🤦 so close to same mistake with main rig 🤣 now it's 3 cables the back is neatly managed.
 
No speed issues going to 4x DIMMs? I've heard mixed results. Although I think that may be due to people incorrectly installing RAM in a 4 stick config.
Not with these G.Skills, I can run all four together at EXPO 26-36-36-96..

But I have major problems running my two pairs of Lexar's.

My Lexars were produced a year or so apart, my G.Skills are perfectly sequential.. so maybe that helps? Training is pretty quick too. Training my two pairs of Lexar's took about 5 minutes to train, and best I could do was 4600. These G.Skills took the same amount of time a single pair did. Super impressed.

I cannot really tune them too much, so I think this is the limit of what my board can do, give or take a bit. Or at least this AGESA..

I don't run 4 sticks, but my understanding with DDR5 is that they are installed counterintuitively when running in x4. Instead of running one kit in A2/B2 and the other in A1/B1, you actually need to run them in A1/A2 and B1/B2. Which is odd, since that's opposite from how you install x2 obviously. But I think this is where most people fail.

Yup I saw Wendell talking about that before I got everything, he even warned that you might not make it very far. I only did it initially with my Lexar's because the internet said it was hard to run, and I didnt believe them.. turns out they were right lol.

But this set of four G.Skills.. these are nice sticks. They were gifted to me by a member of my bench team. He runs an X870E board, so had a bit better luck with speed than I did. I am still playing with it, but so far it passes everything. I have to run VSOC at 1.275, and I gave a lil extra to my VDDG's. To see further gains I would have to run VSOC at 1.3v I think. I have not had to run that high before, not sure if I am comfy with that being newish to AM5 still.

Edit:

I honestly think Lexar put their name on some G.Skills, because even their software is the same...

Only difference being bin quality, and I think G.Skill is using thermal pads in an area that Lexar does not..
 
Had a fan fail in the build, so I took the opportunity to swap some fans around and switch the fans on the rad out for a 360mm, high SP combined fan. Holy Jesus, the load temps dropped by 12 degrees, and they are nearly silent. Did not realize how much of a difference highly optimized fans would make on the rad.
