    That sounds like it might be a hardware-specific problem, I occasionally have to wait before my PC starts booting properly, which is presumably RAM training or something, but that’s more of a “once in a couple months” thing, otherwise it just boots straight up?

      Maybe, maybe not. I’ve spent a few hours plodding around, tweaked the settings in BIOS, upgraded the BIOS, tried different versions. Eventually I just left it because it’s not worth the time. It has definitely soured my view on DDR5 though. DDR4 didn’t need to be trained and worked just fine. What a nonsense feature.
