I have no idea how to best title this thread, because I have had SO many issues in the last 6 months that are very likely all related, so… I just tried to estimate which were the most important. (I am a total idiot as far as TrueNAS and have followed video tutorials for everything so far. I understa…

Whoops, you’re 100% correct. Mixed up cpu 3.6Ghz for ram frequency

Not that a lower RAM speed can create instability, but to me Is worth to check what settings are selected in BIOS because to me something feels very off

[image] OutbakJak: T-Create RAM that cost a premium Never heard of… “MemTest86 v8.00” looks strange (current is 11.6), as does “DDR4-2393” [sic] instead of “2933”. You may want to download the latest version, check that there are NO overclocking settings in BIOS and re-run the test. But it …

Quick reply as I continue to troubleshoot, thank you everyone as always. I’m sorry this has become a basic PC troubleshooting thread on the TrueNAS forum but I am very appreciative. @Fleshmauler Exactly that, it was the cheapest mobo I could get with 2x network ports, cheap CPU platform w/ DDR4 ram…

This warranted a tangent… MY GOD. I just checked. I paid $54 for that 32GB kit of RAM in May ‘24. It’s $250 right now. A 400% increase?? What the hell has happened? Did I miss another chip shortage? Is it just tariffs? :open_mouth: Jeeeezus. Wow, well anyway.. I just checked and thank god they are…

[image] OutbakJak: Any chance it could still be the CPU Don’t think any tests would be valid until memory is valid. Hopefully RMA goes through :frowning:

I don’t think it’s necessary at this point but I’m uploading the memtest86 logs for thoroughness’ sake. Memtest86 log “Stick 1” (14,000 errors and stopped by memtest) Memtest86 log “Stick 2” (~120 errors after 4 pass test) Still hoping there’s not some underlying problem that has caused them both…

[image] OutbakJak: Maybe I’ll report back to share how Teamgroup’s RMA process went and if it fixed the issue See if they’ll do an advanced RMA - sometimes you have to ask. It’ll basically be a deposit that you pay upfront & they’ll ship you the warranty replacement, then when they receive yo…

[image] OutbakJak: DDR4 might be going up as much Already went up… Remember DDR4 can still be leveraged as RAM for DDR5 servers through CXL. DDR3 seems to be the last safe resort. [image] OutbakJak: curious why a medical research group needs their own AI system You haven’t been payi…
