repeat 5 and 6 in the smallest interval of ram speeds in your bios until it's stable for ~5m
Now, I'm sharing this here with because it's good to know but also to make the point: do you think supermicro is doing this for every server that leaves their factory? Not to say there isn't an issue with Intel, but based on what the article says about failure rates, and what I see from friends with AMD, there is an issue with system stability in general that extends beyond this specific issue. My guess BIOS settings being ran at redline didn't do well when we rolled out the new DDR5.
Both Intel and AMD publish their memory controller specs and you should thoroughly understand them if you do want to overclock (read: use XMP/EXPO), anything that goes above the specs is not guaranteed to work.
Incidentally, for all the flak the motherboard vendors rightfully got with their out of the box overclocking defaults, their default configuration for RAM is in fact to stick to Intel/AMD specifications like superglue.
Overclocks are explicitly not covered by warranty.
Yes, Intel and AMD and mobo vendors all say overclocks "may" void warranty and in general they have honored warranties for overclocked hardware, but the official and legal position is that overclocking is not covered by warranty.
>It just doesn't fit the facts to say that you shouldn't expect 5400 Mhz ram to work at 5400 Mhz
You can certainly try RMAing the RAM with the RAM vendor since they sold it for whatever frequency they marketed it at. But as far as Intel and the mobo vendor would be concerned, an overclock is beyond the purview of their warranties.
