This is how my 96Gb kit trains on my Minisforum NBP6, didnt get a 96Gb kit yet for the MS-01

12900h allows 4800 MHz and 13900H 5200 MHz memory speed.
So everything should be fine regarding memory speeds.
Try running a memtest.

my 13900h version is running the 96gb kit of Crucial ram that Patrick used and i'm running at 5200 MT/S with no problems yet. I do plan on doing an extended memtest before going into homelab "production"

Code:
root@pve1:~# dmidecode --type 17
# dmidecode 3.4
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 3.5.0 present.

Just reset bios to factory defaults and let it boot again, it should retrain memory
I’m checking right now and there is no “factory reset” option. There is a “Load Optimized Defaults” option. I did it but RAM frequency still show 5200 and there is no way to change it from the BIOS

Try to reseat the memory, swap the modules around.
If that does not work then you could have a weak CPU that cannot handle 96Gb.

I would do a bios reset and see if it trains to 4800 MT/s after the reset.

And update microcode:
...
7) You can check what microcode you are running after reboot by grep 'stepping\|model\|microcode' /proc/cpuinfo
About microcode update, this is what I get:

No error within memtester with 48G option.
Updated to latest microcode:
1708364564566.png
Now will see if random reboot happens again.

Will keep you posted.
