The big question for x570 guys like u, is can u live w/ an 8 lane GPU?Came here to reply about this issue.
My machine was super unstable with 4 x 32GB Corsair Vengance PRO RGB 3200 running at XMP. At first I thought I had a bad processor or motherboard.. After bumping with this thread I clocked down the memory based on XMP to 2932 and was able to attain stability.
Today I've got another BSOD so even at 2932 I do not think it's possible to get a fully stable system with 4 x 32GB. I may lower it even further to 2666.
I was really hoping to have a good setup but so far it seems I should have gone with the TR instead.
I have a Ryzen 9 3950 @ 3.95 fixed clock, OC per CCX to 3950/3850/3950/3950 at 1.15v running on Gigabyte X570 Master
Everything appears to be perfect except for the RAM.
I use it for Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator. I also have a 2 x MP600 using SoftRAID (very cool software tool) since AMD RAID is basically useless with the custom driver. I also have a RAMdisk and a Cachedisk to speedup writing of projects on RAM first.
There seem to be many gamers who say u can.
IF SO & u have 2x 8 lane slots on ur mobo AND one x8 slot can be bifurcated in bios to x4x4, THEN, a 16 lane quad m.2 port adapter from asus/asrock/... can be run at 8 lanes & yield 2x nvme ports, for a total of 3x true nvme on board.
These 3 nvme ports can be used for a fast raid 0 array for the page file to virtualise supplemental pseudo memory- maybe 4x nvme if the more latent chipset's m.2 doesnt overly degrade the triple array's perf.
since sustained write speed (& endurance) is the key metric for this, pcie 3 Samsung 570 pro's superior MLC NAND makes it the best choice ATM (tho better pcie 4 options seem just around the corner) - at 2.7GB/s sustained write - (x3 = 7.1GB/s write (~9.8 GB/s if using the chipset's fourth nvme port works out) & more for reads).
500GB 570 pro are $150 each atm.
