I changed from 16GB to 32GB RAM and haven’t achieved full stability. I’m seeking advice on timings and will share photos of my setup. I’m getting very close, but not quite there in the Prime95 cascades (Blend Test). I need some guidance before things get really tough. I’m sure this isn’t the best configuration possible, even with the problematic AMD memory controller and 32GB. I know mixed kits can be tricky, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It might be a bit of a challenge, but not unsolvable. If there’s any extra help beyond pointing out these facts—something I’m aware of—I’d really appreciate it. I need a 32GB system for school; I don’t play games. I think the issue might be on my end, not with the hardware, since I’m struggling to align timings well enough for better performance.

If this should be shared on the Memory forum, I apologize.

QUESTION:
What adjustments should I make—voltages, timings, or secondary timings—to improve stability and consistency in Prime95 cascades?

The FX CPUs weren't compatible with 4 DIMMs, and your DIMMs don't match. Good luck.
