Size of the BIOS chip is a mobo vendor decision.Aranarth wrote:Going to ddr5 is not going to be as big of a jump in bandwidth as i was hoping for.
...and latencies (in absolute terms) basically haven't budged in years.

For ECC RAM, your best bet is probably to look at the "Server Memory" section at Newegg; Amazon's search engine is pretty useless in this case. Make sure you select Unbuffered in the search filters to weed out the stuff that isn't compatible with desktop Zen.

I would do it from the other side. Look up the kit you need from Crucial's website based on unbuffered, speed, size and CL (won't have much choice to begin with). Then copy the part number and search in Newegg/Amazon and see the results.

That'll limit you to Crucial though. I typically buy Crucial or Kingston, whoever has the better price for the specs I'm looking for.

The biggest losers are scalpers hoarding up limited stocks who now have to move their stuff back at cost or at a loss (mainly for 3090 SKUs).
