Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

Long time lurker. Just wanted to state that I switched from 64gb of Crucial CL46 DDR5 to 64gb of Kingston CL40 DDR5 memory. I tried searching high and low to see if anyone else had done this test but couldn't find anything. Putting this info out there in case anyone is curious or want to know if this Kingston RAM works with the MS-01. BIOS version is 1.26

Old ram: 64GB Crucial 5600mhz CL46 SO-DIMM DDR5 (2X32gb). RAM code is CT2K32G56C46S5
Info Link: Crucial 64GB Kit (32GBx2) DDR5-5600 SODIMM | CT2K32G56C46S5 | Crucial EU

New ram: 64GB Crucial 5600mhz CL40 SO-DIMM DDR5 (2X32gb). RAM code is KF556S40IBK2-64
Info Link: https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KF556S40IBK2-64.pdf

Left is Crucial ram (CL46), right is Kingston ram (CL40) in the AIDA cache & memory benchmark. Test was done in non-turbo mode (Turbo mode was off).

Nice to see that it works. I'm kind of surprised that it was only a ~6% win on memory latency given the ~15% change in DIMM timings, but I've never really paid a ton of attention to benchmarks and RAM performance. Presumably that's normal?

I'll do a re-run today but I also expected more to be honest. I'm running Windows 10 IoT LTSC. Aida is also kinda finnicky, it might give 90ns on a run then 88ns if you immediately run it again. I'll do some tests and report back.
