| Are DDR5 error rates actually expected to be lower compared to DDR4? Posted: 30 Oct 2021 09:16 PM PDT So DDR5 contains on-die ECC, which as it turns out is there mostly to mitigate the potential density increase and naturally increased occurrence of bit flips on die caused by the newer/denser manufacturing processes and higher clock speeds. I fully understand that this does not mitigate errors that occur in transit. What I wonder is whether the net total number of errors on DDR5 is actually any less than it is with DDR4. I cannot find any tests or research about this, and nobody seems to actually market it that way, with even manufacturers that I browsed marketing materials of just typically saying "it now comes with on-die ECC", without mentioning any benefits to the end user. After a solid hour reading up about this I increasingly see this ECC approach as "we're packing so much density and with the bumped up clocks we now get so many bit-flips that we need ECC to mitigate this". Is that the case that there are no net benefits, however? Is anyone aware of any sources that may have quantified this, or at least made any claims? I am wondering about the benefits of going with DDR5 instead of DDR4 for now. The prices are much higher while the performance of first gen DDR5 modules isn't, and DDR4 is still an option with Alder Lake (DDR4 mobos are much cheaper too!). However, as a person who had a couple of old zip archives and holiday pictures irretrievably corrupted over the years, possibly due to RAM errors, the decreased total numbers of ram error rates would be a major value add to me. I find the lack of end-to-end ECC in consumer hardware to be an unethical differentiation strategy considering the risk to personal data integrity. So I was looking forward to DDR5 potentially being at least somewhat an improvement in this regard. However, I failed to find any proof that this is actually the case. Any informed inputs would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |

| ASUS BAD Z690 HEATSINK DESIGN MEANS POOR COOLER COMPATIBILITY Posted: 30 Oct 2021 10:19 AM PDT Heads up The height of the VRM heatsink on the below motherboards is too high and the majority of Noctua and similar coolers will not fit. This is bad design by Asus. For example the ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 is what I was going to buy but it will not work with my Noctua, See link below for how many noctua coolers are not compatible, poor Asus design. https://ncc.noctua.at/motherboards/m...g-WiFi-D4-5375 ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming [link] [comments] |
