G'day all,
Just got the board installed over the last couple days.  Took a bit because I redid my loop to add a 3rd rad (and I made it more difficult by clicking buy on the wrong size. . . but made it work - lol).  Installed Windows this morning and things seem to be going well, but I just noticed an oddity with CPU-Z.
 
The DDR5 is the TridentZ 6400 CL32 variant, in slots 2 & 4.  CPU-Z however has them placed in slots 2 & 3.  To compound that weirdness even further, it's showing 6 RAM slots total (before a reboot, it actually showed 5).  TM5 running [link=mailto:Extreme@anta777,]Extreme@anta777,[/link] OCCT, XTU, and Cinebench generate no errors (CPU or Memory) and overall feel is pretty good, but not sure if there's some other unknown instability at play causing this or if it's simply some sort of compatibility issue between CPU-Z & the board.
 

 
Anybody else seeing anything similar?

    If it's just a cpu-z issue I wouldn't worry about it. Could try re-flashing the latest bios if you wanted. That's a pretty odd issue.

    Yeah.  Not sure it's worth reflashing the bios.  Everything seems stable with the exception of that oddity, but it's only my first day of testing.

    If you look on the system tab and scroll down to memory, it should reflect as "Quad" due to the way DDR5 works.  Mine shows fine.   Beyond the oddity with CPUZ I called out earlier, the only other strange thing is AIDA isn't able to detect any of my fan or pump speeds.  Assuming this is probably something AIDA needs to do on their end (CPUZ may be the same way for all I know and 1.10 bios didn't change anything here).
