Hey guys, I’m back, this time with the conclusion.
I had a spirited discussion with the idiot that built my NAS. Although he said the settings are ok, they were not. The RAM was set at the 3600MHz profile, and apparently the voltages were not tweaked. Ryzen 5000 series is notorious for needing to boost the VDDP/VDDG/IOD voltages to manage those frequencies for 128GB of RAM.
That idiot is me. I was so convinced by the fact that I left them as default, as I totally knew they would do absolutely nothing performance wise, that I got paranoid trying to figure what else could be wrong with it. What can I say, overclocker genes right here. Did it on every PC I had, so I had to do it to my NAS as well, of course.
As I moved my NAS close to my monitors (it was relatively unaccessible before, hence the hesitation) and ran a MemTest I got the verdict in… 13 minutes. That’s how much it took for it to throw errors. Reset the RAM to JEDEC defaults @ 1.2v, all 4 passes ran perfectly over 17 hours.
No more scrub errors, no more corrupted data via the 10G link… everything works.
So… I owe each one of you a beer.
P.S. If anyone asks, we’ll just say it was the bclone explosion, ok?
