8 vs. 12 Channel DDR5-6000 Memory Performance With AMD 5th Gen EPYC
As I wrote about last week within the Supermicro H13SSL-N EPYC Turin motherboard review, one of the factors leading me to purchasing that EPYC 9005 series motherboard was that this board offered support for full 12 channel DDR5-6000 memory performance compared to some of the other lower-cost Socket SP5 motherboards offering just 8 memory channels.
Of course, depending upon the CPU core/thrad count you are planning to use can also influence the benefits of going for twelve memory channels and so for this was a middle of the road 96-core EPYC 9655 comparison. With this 4U server build I ended up installing two Corsair Vengeance Airflow Memory Cooling Fans (CMYAF) and they made a dramatic difference in the DDR5-6000 RDIMM temperatures.
